Factors Predicting 30-Day Hospital Readmission After Kidney Transplant.
Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL
Background: Hospital readmissions after kidney transplant have been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, decreased quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. The objective of this…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Use of Very High KDPI Kidneys in Elderly Kidney Transplant Recipients – Discarded in the U.S. but Successfully Transplanted in Europe.
Nephrology, Charité Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Background: Very limited data exist on long-term outcomes of very high KDPI kidneys in elderly (≥65 years) kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Discard rates of donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Improved Outcomes After Liver Transplantation from Controlled DCD Donors with Normothermic Regional Perfusion.
Transplant Unit, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Background: Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is currently explored as a method to recover organs from Maastricht category I-III Donors after circulatory death (DCD). This study…2017 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept for Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Chronic antibody mediated rejection (cAMR) is a major cause of long-term kidney transplant (KT) loss. Antibody or immune cell depletional therapies have unclear efficacy…2017 American Transplant Congress
Macrophage Specific Deletion of RhoA Inhibits Fractalkine Signaling and Abrogates Chronic Rejection of Cardiac Allograft.
Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital and Research Institute, Houston
Objective. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains unresolved issue in organ transplantation. The chronic rejection is the most common cause of graft loss within 10…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor Warm Ischemic Time >80min Is an Important Predictor of Kidney Graft Survival from Donors After Cardiac Death.
We analyzed UNOS data to determine how donor warm ischemic time (WIT), donor BMI, donor hypertension (dHTN), cold ischemic time (CIT), and vasopressin use in…2017 American Transplant Congress
High Mortality in Transplant Recipients Associated with Coccidioidomycosis Derived from Organ Donors.
Purpose Coccidioidomycosis (CI) occurs in 4-9% of solid organ recipients in endemic areas, resulting in 30-63% mortality. CI can be transmitted directly via transplantation, but…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Infrainguinal Revascularization in Renal Transplant Patients.
