Inflammatory Cytokines Are Associated with Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies and Vascular Inflammation in Pediatric Renal Transplantation.
1University of California, Los Angeles, CA; 2Duke University, Durham, NC
Background: We recently found that angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibody (AT1R-Ab) was associated with decreased renal function in pediatric renal transplant recipients independent of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Immunologic Risk for Acute Rejection in Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
Yale University, New Haven, CT
Background: Studies in heart, lung, kidney, & liver transplantation (LT) indicate an increased negative impact of antibodies (Ab) to HLA on allograft outcome.Aim: To describe…2017 American Transplant Congress
Educational Strategies for Increased Wait-Listing Rates: Opportunities for Dialysis Center Intervention.
1UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; 2SLU, St. Louis, MO
Dialysis centers vary in how well they educate patients about kidney transplant (KT). This study categorized common groups of educational strategies used by dialysis staff;…2017 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Human Plasma Cell Proteasome Adaptations to Proteasome Inhibitor Therapy: A Precision Medicine Approach to Overcome Drug Resistance in Desensitization.
1U of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH; 2Cincinnati Children's, Cincinnati, OH
Purpose: Bone marrow niche-resident plasma cells (BMNRPCs) exhibit variable sensitivity to proteasome inhibitor (PI) therapy. Here, we characterized alterations in the gene and protein expression…2017 American Transplant Congress
Venous Thromboembolism and the Risk of Death and Graft Loss in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in kidney transplant recipients varies widely in the literature. The implications of VTE for morbidity and mortality in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Improving Liver Allocation Using Optimized Neighborhoods.
Industrial Engineering and the Management Sciences, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL
Background: Geographic disparities persist in access to liver transplantation. Candidates with similar urgency experience varying opportunities for transplants across the US. Policymakers are poised to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Poor Outcomes on the Waiting List for Pediatric Lung Retransplant Patients Listed in Low Volume Centers.
PurposeLow case volume has been associated with lower survival after pediatric lung transplantation. In addition, pediatric lung retransplantation has been associated with low overall survival…2017 American Transplant Congress
Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Biopsy Sampling of the Pancreas Transplant- The Future of Graft Surveillance?
Background:Pancreas transplantation (PTX) can improve morbidity and potentially increase survival in selected patients with brittle diabetes. Development of a successful and safe biopsy monitoring program…2017 American Transplant Congress
Non-Invasive Detection of Rejection with ImmunoPET Imaging.
Current approaches to detect and diagnose rejection are retrospective and/or invasive. These methods assess the extent of end organ damage by insensitive and non-specific measures…2017 American Transplant Congress
Induction of Sensitization and Resistance to Transplant Tolerance by Allogeneic Pregnancy.
Background: Clinical data suggest allogeneic pregnancy is a sensitizing event; yet, recent data from mouse models suggest it induces fetal-specific regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion…
