Increasing Tacrolimus Time-in-Therapeutic Range Is Associated with Less Cellular Rejection in Lung Transplant Recipients.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
Purpose: To describe the effect of tacrolimus (FK) time-in-therapeutic range (TTR) on incidence of cellular rejection (ACR) within the first year after lung transplantation (LT).Methods:…2016 American Transplant Congress
Serelaxin Decreases the Severity of Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Liver Transplantation in Mice.
The Dumont-UCLA Transplantation Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Background. Extended cold preservation contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which impairs graft function and leads to poor clinical outcomes. Serelaxin (SER), a recombinant form of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prevalence of Polyreactive Innate-Like B Cells Among Graft-Infiltrating B Cells in Human Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy.
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a leading cause of death in long-term heart transplant survivors. Dense B cell infiltrates are common in heart transplants with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of Intra-Graft Anti-HLA Antibodies Suggests That HLA Sensitization Occurs Long After an Allograft Nephrectomy and Is Not Due to a Release of Anti-HLA Antibodies from the Failed Kidney.
Background: The mechanism leading to the appearance of anti-HLA antibodies and donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) after an allograft nephrectomy (NTx) is not fully understood. Two mechanisms…2016 American Transplant Congress
Optimal Donor/Recipient Pairing for High KDPI Grafts Can Yield Similar Survival to Medium KDPI Grafts.
Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
KDPI is a predictor of deceased-donor (DD) graft survival, calculated using donor factors. It does not consider recipient or other post-procurement factors. This retrospective analysis…2016 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Significance of Microvascular Inflammation and C4d Negative Transplant Glomerulopathy.
Background: Transplant glomerulopathy (TGP) is frequently found in the setting of chronic antibody mediated rejection along with microvascular inflammation (MVI) (peritubular capillaritis+glomerulitis score > 1)…2016 American Transplant Congress
High Efficacy of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir with Ribavirin in HCV Genotype-1 Infected Patients with Decompensated Liver Disease: Analysis by MELD Score from the SOLAR-1 and SOLAR-2 Trials.
Introduction: HCV infected patients with decompensated liver disease have significant morbidity & mortality. The efficacy & safety of LDV/SOF + RBV was evaluated in a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Early Post Renal Transplant aHUS in Patients with Heterozygous CFHR3-CFHR1 Deletion.
Renal Division, Washington University, Saint Louis, MO.
Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease with a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Subjects homozygous for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Learning Curve of Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy for Abdominal Transplant Surgery Fellows.
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) requires a high degree of surgical competence and skill. UNOS recommends that fellowship-trained surgeons participate in 15 LDN to be…
