Impact of Ideal Body Weight vs. Actual Body Weight for the Prediction of Small for Size Syndrome and Graft Loss After Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplantation, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: We compared the impact of estimating graft to recipient body weight ratio (GBWR) with actual body weight (ABW) and ideal body weight (IBW) on…2016 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Late Medication Non-Adherence in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Medication non-adherence (MNA) is a significant contributor to late graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to develop and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Allograft Dysfunction and Early Low Grade Proteinuria on Survival in Expanded Criteria Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Nephrology, Hospital Regional de Málaga, Málaga, Spain.
Introduction. Recent studies have demonstrated a relationship between low-grade proteinuria and worse graft survival, but this has not been fully studied in expanded criteria donor…2016 American Transplant Congress
Can We Predict New-Onset Diabetes After Transplantation Previously?
Objectives: New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), one of the important complications after kidneytransplantation, leads to reduce graft survival rate and increase patient morbidity and mortality.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Biomarkers for Progressive Fibrosis in Renal Transplant Patients Using Novel Chemical Imaging Approaches.
BackgroundThe main treatment for end-stage renal disease is kidney transplantation, however close monitoring of post-transplant biopsies is required to identify subclinical complications. In this study,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSC) Accumulate in Intestinal Transplant (IT) Patients.
[Background] IT is an efficacious treatment for chronic intestinal failure. Recent advance of immunosuppressive regimens have decreased the rejection rate and improved patient survival. The…2016 American Transplant Congress
Imaging Cell Biology In Vivo with Intravital-Microscopy.
Background: Despite current immunosuppressive therapy, many recipients endure multiple episodes of acute rejection. The interplay between dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells plays a central…2016 American Transplant Congress
Aging Is Critically Impacting the Efficacy of Immunosuppressants.
Immunosenescence is broadly affecting alloimmunity with major implications on immunosuppression. Older recipients have thus far been mostly excluded from clinical trials. Here, we dissected the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Mixed Xenogeneic Chimerism on Human B Cell Response to Pig Antigens.
Columbia Center for Translational Immunology, Columbia University, New York, NY.
Xenotransplantation is a potential solution to the organ shortage in clinical transplantation. Pigs are regarded as the most suitable donors. Studies in pig-to-nonhuman primates have…2016 American Transplant Congress
African Americans Have Greater Odds of Late Stage Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Mississippi.
Department of Surgery, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS.
Introduction: Centers for Disease Control Cancer Data show that death rates from HCC exceed expectations from incident rates in Mississippi, therefore we hypothesized that socioeconomic…
