Human IL-10 Transfection of Porcine Lungs Significantly Increases IL-10 Levels in Vascular Perfusate During Human Blood Perfusion.
PurposePorcine organs are a potential source for clinical xenotransplantation. Pig lungs perfused with human blood exhibit inflammation and loss of vascular barrier function within hours.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Recurrence in Renal Transplant Recipients Treated with Belatacept.
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA
Introduction: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a cause of end-stage renal failure that frequently recurs following renal transplant, often leading to allograft loss. A recently…2017 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Long Term Renal Function Outcomes for Everolimus (EVR) vs. Sirolimus (SIR) vs. Mycophenolate Acid (MPA) Immunosuppressive Regimens Post Kidney Transplant (Ktx).
MPA or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi [EVR or SIR]) in combination with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI, tacrolimus [TAC] or cyclosporine) are used for maintenance…2017 American Transplant Congress

Albuminuria in Kidney Transplant Patients Is Associated with Increased Urine Serine Proteases with the Ability to Activate ENaC.
Background In patients with renal transplant albuminuria is associated with salt-sensitive hypertension. Aberrantly filtered serine proteases e.g. plasmin has shown to activate ENaC through proteolytic…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Recipients of Deceased Adult Donor Kidneys Have Equivalent Outcomes Compared with Pediatric Donors.
INTRODUCTION:Efforts are made to transplant paediatric deceased donor kidneys into pediatric recipients. To our knowledge, data does not support better graft outcomes with matched pediatric…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immediate vs. Delayed Kidney Implantation Is Associated with Improved Kidney Graft Survival in Combined Liver-Kidney Transplantation.
Simultaneous Liver/Kidney transplantation involves significant potential stress for the kidney graft. A surgeon needs to decide whether to place the kidney immediately to minimize cold…2017 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Renal Function After a Transition to Everolimus or Mycophenolate Mofetil in Liver Transplant Recipients.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess if there is a difference in renal function over time when transitioning to everolimus vs. mycophenolate.Methods:…
