Successful Treatment of Hepatitis C in Renal Transplant Recipients with Directly Acting Antiviral Agents.
Background: Hepatitis C infection (HCV) in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients has been shown to be a risk factor for decreased patient and allograft survival. With…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Scoring Systems Predicting Patient Survival at Time of Kidney Transplantation.
Nephrology, Charite, Berlin, Germany.
Introduction:Estimating life expectancy in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) at time of transplantation is important to achieve the best functional match between patient and graft survival.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Blocking Fc Receptor in Flow Cytometric Crossmatch: Refining an Old Assay to Improve Patient Management.
Pathology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL.
Introduction: The crossmatch assay is used to determine sensitization of solid organ transplant recipients to donor-expressed HLA molecules, a potential contraindication to transplant. Multicolor flow…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of the Toxicity Profile of Proteasome Inhibitor-Based Therapy for Antibody Mediated Rejection.
1U of Cinncinati, Cincinnati; 2The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati.
Background: Experience with bortezomib (BTZ) antibody mediated rejection (AMR) therapy has progressively increased over the past few years. The BTZ toxicity profile in the transplant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Detecting Renal Allograft Inflammation Using Quantitative Urine Metabolomics and CXCL10.
Background. We studied urine metabolomics (UM) alone or combined with urine CXCL10 to non-invasively detect cellular infiltrates in renal allograft biopsies.Methods. Urines (n=137) were obtained…2016 American Transplant Congress
Many Discarded Kidneys Are Similar to Kidneys Accepted for Transplantation as Judged by Their Histologic Lesions and Molecular AKI Scores.
There is an increase in the number kidneys from older brain dead donors (DBD). Many are discarded based on conventional features (clinical or histology). Thus…2016 American Transplant Congress
High KDPI Kidneys (>85%) Do Not Adversely Affect HRQOL After Kidney Transplantation.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
Background. Since December 2014, deceased donor kidneys are allocated based on a kidney donor profile index (KDPI) by four sequences, A thru D. Estimated kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of EVAR in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Results form a National Quality Initiative.
BACKGROUND:Contrast-induced nephropathy following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in renal transplant patients can have devastating consequences. We describe outcomes within a national cohort of kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) of Liver Allografts with a Novel Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier (HBOC) Increases β-Oxidation of Fatty Acids and Decreases Lipid Peroxidation (LP).
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Introduction: There is limited information about the lipid metabolic profile during liver allograft preservation. LP remains a major component of ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRIs). The aim…2016 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Diagnosis of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Routine Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Nonhuman Primate Renal Allograft Biopsies.
Background: In 2013, the Banff classification proposed molecular testing as an adjunct for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in renal allografts. We analyzed whether…
