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
