Comparison of Long-Term Survival Outcome Between Primary Liver Transplantation and Hepatic Resection with Consequent Salvage Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma within Milan Criteria – A Single-Center Experience.
Background: Whether primary liver transplantation (PLT) is superior to the upfront hepatic resection (HR) and salvage liver transplantation (SLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within Milan…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor/Recipient Matching Using the Creatinine Clearance Match Ratio (CCMR) Is Superior to the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) Predicting Early but Not Late Outcomes for Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
A Creatinine Clearance based Donor/Recipient matching strategy (CCMR) was developed to better optimize metabolic demand of the recipient with donor kidney function. Prior work in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Estimating Donor Organ Quality with Baseline Histology and Kidney Donor Risk Index for Predicting Graft Outcomes in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Donor organ quality is a key determinant of graft outcomes in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT). The effect of baseline histology at the time…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers in Liver Transplantation Tolerance.
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland; 2University of Chicago, Chicago
Current success in liver transplantation (LTX) relies on life-time administration of non-specific immunosuppressive drugs, leaving patients prone to infection and cancer. Previous reports indicated about…2017 American Transplant Congress
D-Dimer Level, in Association with Humoral Responses, Negatively Correlates with Survival of Porcine Islet Grafts in Nonhuman Primates with Immunosuppression.
Background: Several immunosuppression (IS) regimens achieve long-term graft survival in nonhuman primates (NHPs) after porcine islet transplantation (PITx), but their success rates vary. To understand…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Protease Activated Receptor 1 and Sphingosine-1-Phospate Receptor 1 in Mice Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury for Targeting Cell Signal Pathways of Activated Protein C.
Introduction: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious comlication during liver surgery. As for therapeutic strategies on hepatic IRI, we previously demonstrated that activated protein…2017 American Transplant Congress
NKG2C+ NK Cell Adaptive Response and the Risk of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) has been associated with an increased risk of graft loss and reduced host survival. CMV promotes persistent…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Elevated Doppler Resistive Indices in Renal Transplant Recipients with Delayed Graft Function.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Doppler Ultrasonography is often carried out to determine renal allograft perfusion in the early post-operative period. An elevated resistive index (RI) is…2017 American Transplant Congress
Incidence and Risk Factors for Cervical Dysplasia Associated to Human Papillomavirus Infection in Women with Kidney Transplant.
Introduction: Women with kidney transplant (KT) have an increased risk for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is related to cervical cancer, reaching an incidence of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Chemokines in Resolution of BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy and Chronicity of Pathology Changes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKN) remains the most common infectious cause of allograft loss after kidney transplantation. We previously demonstrated increased frequency of polyfunctional T cells…
