Preservation Solution Affects the Immunological Milieu in Lung Transplantation and Alters the Inflammatory Balance.
Background: The pro-/ anti-inflammatory balance in lung transplantation is shaped by the pulmonary immune compartments, i.e. the T and NK cell repertoire. At present, it…2017 American Transplant Congress
Deciphering the Mechanism of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Its Potential Benefits in Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Metabolomics.
Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea
IntroductionRemote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a strategy inducing resistance against ischemia and reperfusion(IR) injury. But the mechanism and the time window of protection representing RIPC…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pre Transplant Donor Specific Antibodies and Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipient on Steroid Free Maintenance Immunosupression Regimen.
Background: The clinical relevance of pre transplant donor specific antibodies has been reported in few clinical studies with respect to its effect on the risk…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Endpoint for Evaluating the Effect of Everolimus with Reduced Calcineurin Inhibitor on Long-Term Kidney Graft Outcome: The TRANSFORM Study Protocol.
1TRANSFORM Study Group, Murray; 2Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland
Purpose: With the advancement of immunosuppressive (IS) agents, while short-term graft outcomes improved significantly, long-term outcomes remain a concern. Both acute rejection (AR) and nephrotoxicity…2017 American Transplant Congress
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…
