Simultaneous En-Bloc Dual Transplantation: A New Approach.
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Purpose: Most techniques of Dual Transplantation are based on the sequential placement of each kidney. This requires more dissection, anesthesia time, and exposes the recipient…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Intrarenal Resistive Index Measured After Transplantation Is Determined by the Upstream Vascular System of the Recipient.
Objective: We recently demonstrated that the renal resistive index, measured after renal transplantation, reflects recipient characteristics, like recipient age and central hemodynamics, and not so…2016 American Transplant Congress
Does Rising MELD Score Convey Worse Liver Transplant Outcome?
Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Since February 2002, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score has been used to allocate liver allografts in the U.S. The aim of this…2016 American Transplant Congress
Strategies to Prevent Ischemic Cholangiopathy After Donation After Circulatory Death Donor Liver Transplantation.
Background: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donor pool remains underutilized for liver transplantation (LT). We describe optimizing the “modifiable risk factors”, such as CIT, recipient…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Liver Function of Deceased Liver Transplantation Using Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Positive Grafts.
Background: Deceased donors with hepatitis B [HBs Ag(+)] were not recommended to recover the livers for liver transplantation. However, in endemic area of hepatitis B…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hyponatremia in Early Post Lung Transplantation Predicts Patient and Hospital Outcomes.
Background: Outcomes of hyponatremia during immediate post-lung transplantation are unknown. We aim to identify the incidence of postoperative hyponatremia and its outcomes.Methods: All lung transplantations…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Single Antigen Bead Epitope-Based Clustering for Early Detection of Antibody Mediated Rejection.
Purpose:Epitope-based groups of HLA single antigen beads (SAB) often demonstrate clustering in patients with donor specific antibodies (DSA). Coordinated Mean Florescent Intensity (MFI) increases of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Baseline Donor Specific Antibody (DSA) More Predictive of Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection (CAMR) Than the Change in DSA Over Time.
Introduction: Although therapies are available to at least temporarily reduce DSA, the change in DSA naturally post-transplant remains unknown. We aim to study the serial…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pharmakokinetics of Prolonged-Release Formulation of Tacrolimus: Comparison of AUC0-24 and Concentration at 10 Time Points.
Background:Use of an appropriate immunosuppressant is necessary for good graft survival in kidney transplantation (KTx). Currently, a prolonged-release formulation of tacrolimus (Graceptor or Adovagraf, Astellas…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Prospective Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin (rATG) 3mg/Kg vs. 6mg/Kg in Kidney Transplant Patients Under Minimization Maintenance Immunosuppressive Regimen.
Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Background: rATG dosed from 4.5 to 7.5mg/kg has been the standard of care in most transplant centers. Recent studies have demonstrated similar efficacy with doses…
