De Novo Donor-Specific Antibodies After Allograft Nephrectomy.
Introduction: although the development of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is a known event after allograft nephrectomy (Nx), there are few studies describing the tempo, class and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Longitudinal Study of Donor Specific Antibodies in a Pediatric Kidney Transplant Population; Response to Optimization of Anti-Proliferative Therapy.
Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, CO
In 2015 we implemented surveillance donor-specific antibody (DSA) monitoring in our pediatric kidney transplant recipients (pKTR); we found that in stable pKTRs (i.e. no changes…2017 American Transplant Congress
20 and 25-Year Outcomes Following Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
Background: Improved 1,5, & 10- year survival following Pediatric Liver Transplantation (LT) has been demonstrated. However 20 and 25-year patient and graft outcomes (including cause…2017 American Transplant Congress
Substance Abuse in Acute Liver Failure: Time to Talk About Opiates.
Transplant Institute, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit
Purpose: Prescription opiate utilization is on the rise. Research on acute liver failure (ALF) has focused on acetaminophen (APAP) overdose or other medical etiologies but…2017 American Transplant Congress
Host-Derived, Intragraft Dendritic Cells Are Extensively Cross-Dressed by Donor MHC.
Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsbugh, PA
Host dendritic cells (DC) are the primary driver of transplant rejection in secondary lymphoid tissues where they activate alloreactive T cells. Directly alloreactive T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes Following Hysterectomy in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Nearly 1/3 of American women, including kidney transplant recipients (KTR), undergo hysterectomy in their lifetime, making it one of the most common female-specific surgeries performed.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Quality Dramatically Influences Patient and Death Censored Graft Survival in SLK Recipients.

1University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham; 2University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Background: Excellent outcomes have been demonstrated among HIV-infected kidney transplant (KT) recipients when HIV infection is well-controlled. Protease inhibitors (PI) have significant drug-drug interactions with…2017 American Transplant Congress
Baseline Immune Assessment to Individualize Immunosuppression in SPK Recipients with Type 1 Diabetes.
Introduction:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with multiple immunological anomalies. Immunologic abnormalities might help to explain why recipients of simultaneous pancreas kidney…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Donor-Derived Tissue Resident Memory T cells in Modulating Alloimmunity.
Emory Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
Recipient-derived, graft-specific memory T cells play a critical role in mediating allograft rejection, particularly in the setting of immunosuppression with costimulation blockade. Recently, it is…
