Differences in the Prevalence of Food Allergies After Liver and or Bowel Transplantation.
Transplant Institute, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC.
BackgroundFood allergies are reported after transplantation of solid organs in children. We have recently reported an increase in the prevalence of esophageal eosinophilic disease in…2016 American Transplant Congress
MHC/HLA-Specific IgE in Allotransplantation.
Background: Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are recognized as important factors in determining outcome in renal transplantation.Typically DSAs of the IgG isotype are measured, but little is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Limiting Helper Functions of CD4 T Cells Improves Efficacy of Induction Therapy without Compromising Responses to Third Party Antigens.
Antibody mediated lymphocyte depletion is commonly used in clinical transplantation. However, memory T cells undermine the efficacy of lymphoablative induction therapies in sensitized transplant recipients.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Conformational Diversity of a Single HLA-I Molecule Coated on Single Antigen Beads: Potential Impact on Organ Allocation?
Terasaki Foundation Laboratory, Los Angeles, CA.
Recombinant HLA-I (rHLA-I) molecules are the antigenic targets used to screen HLA-I DSA in the sera of pre- or post-transplant patients. A conformational diversity, β2-microglobulin-associated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Vaccination of the Pediatric Patient After Transplantation – Attitudes and Knowledge of the General Pediatrician.
Background: Studies have shown that compliance with post-transplant vaccinations in children is low. Postulated reasons for such low vaccination rates include the lack of familiarity…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation Offers a Significant Survival Advantage Compared to Waitlisting, a Single Centre Experience.
Background: Kidney transplantation is associated with lower mortality and improved quality of life for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Survival in dialysis and…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Multi-Modular Approach for Training in Liver Procurement Accelerates Proficiency Gain.
BACKGROUND: Modular training has been established as an educational tool in colorectal and urology surgery for the last 5 years. This modular operative approach is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Randomized Study of a Steroid Free, Low Dose Tacrolimus with Everolimus Regimen in Kidney Transplant.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; University of Virginia, Chicago, IL.
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) serve as the cornerstone of immunosuppression (IS) after kidney transplant. However chronic CNI nephrotoxicity has been implicated in allograft dysfunction. We hypothesize…2016 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Transplant Outcomes for Low-Dose and Standard-Dose Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Internal Medicine, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine, Daegu, Republic of Korea.
Objectives: There are few studies that compare the effect of different dose of tacrolimus after kidney transplantation. We investigated transplant outcome of low-dose and standard-dose…2016 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Molecular Mechanisms of Non-Transplant Cardiac Hypertrophy in Cardiac Allograft Hypertrophy – An Exploratory Gene Array Study of Myocardial Biopsy Samples.
Cardiac Allograft Hypertrophy (CAH) develops in up to 80% of patients as early as six months post-transplant, and is associated with decreased quality of life…
