Evaluation of the Conversion from Brand Name to Generic Immunosuppression in Hospitalized Organ Transplant Recipients.
Purpose: Safe and effective immunosuppressant medications are critical to accomplish good graft and patient survival rates. The availability of “AB-rated” generic immunosuppression affords the opportunity…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Renal Allograft Acute Rejection Using a Novel Non-Invasive Model Based on Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse.
Point shear wave elastography (p-SWE) based on acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a novel technology to quantify tissue stiffness by measuring shear wave speed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pulse Pressure After Renal Transplantation – Influence on Outcome: Results from the Collaborative Transplant Study.
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are important predictors of graft and patient survival in renal transplant recipients. Pulse pressure (PP), the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Detects High Prevalence of Hypertension in Recipients of Non-Renal Transplants.
Long-term survival after pediatric non-renal organ and stem cell transplantation (tx) has become increasingly better. The optimal post-transplant care therefore goes beyond organ-specific issues and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Rabbit Anti-Human Thymocyte Immunoglobulin (rATG) for Rescue Treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection (cAMR) After Pediatric Kidney Transplantation.
Pediatric Nephrology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
Background. Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) is the leading cause of long-term graft loss after kidney transplantation. Treatment guidelines include rituximab, immunoadsorption, immunoglobulins and/or bortezomib, but…2017 American Transplant Congress
Combined Dual-Kidney Liver Transplantation in the United States: A Review of UNOS/OPTN Data Between 2002 and 2012.
Department of Medicine, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
BackgroundSimultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) has increased demand for donor kidneys during a national organ shortage. In kidney-alone recipients, dual kidney transplantation (DKT) using “marginal” donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things- Real World Experience with Everolimus in Livers.
Purpose: To determine if discontinuation rates of everolimus (RAD) in clinical practice is higher than the 30% demonstrated in trials.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort…2017 American Transplant Congress
Liver Allograft Hepatitis and Graft Loss After Hepatitis C Clearance.
Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
Successful HCV therapies should improve inferior outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) for HCV cirrhosis. We hypothesize certain patients may be predisposed to heterologous immunity that…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lower Rates of Living Donation Among Transplant Centers Located in the Stroke Belt.
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham
Background: The prevalence of comorbid disease continues to increase in the United States, particularly in areas like the Stroke Belt, but it is unknown whether…2017 American Transplant Congress
Renal Function Variability Is a Significant and Independent Risk Factor for Graft Loss and Death in Kidney Transplantation.
1Transplant, MUSC, Charleston, SC; 2Transplant, Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake City, UT
Previous studies have demonstrated that the magnitude of decline in renal function can predict graft loss after kidney transplant (KTX), but there is limited research…
