Graft Perfusion with Alvespimycin, an HSP90 Inhibitor, Suppresses Acute Allograft Rejection and Prolongs Graft Survival in Murine Heart Transplantation
Department of Urology, Sapporo Medical University, Sapporo, Japan.
Purpose: We have previously demonstrated that administration of a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor to recipients prolonged the allograft survival in murine skin and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Biliary pH, Bicarbonate and Glucose Are Suitable Biomarkers of Bile Duct Viability during Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Human Donor Livers
Background: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is rapidly making its way into the clinic and can be used for viability assessment of human donor livers prior…2018 American Transplant Congress
Protective Effect of Ceria-Nanoparticle on Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Introduction: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a commonly encountered problem in organ transplantation. IRI is associated with delayed graft function and acute rejection; therefore IRI adversely…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Aberrant Post-Transplant Laboratory and Blood Pressure Values on Graft Survival and Racial Disparities in Kidney Transplant
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of post-transplant lab and blood pressure (BP) clinical data on graft survival and racial…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Value of Serum Dilution on DSA Outcome Analysis in Renal Transplantation
Background: Recently, transplant centers have discussed the potential value of sera dilutions in assessment of donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA). However, to date, no data…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pilot Study of Health IT Feasibility and Impact on Quality of Life for Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Nephrology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Background: Young adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are an at-risk population and long-term survival rates are significantly lower than expected. A large majority of young…2018 American Transplant Congress
Using the Remuzzi Score to Guide Single vs. Dual Transplantation Mitigates the Risk of Early Graft Failure
Surgery, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
BackgroundExpanded criteria circulatory death donors (DCD) may represent an underutilised donor pool. Our centre has used urgent pre-implantation biopsy (Remuzzi score) to guide single (SKT)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Use of Perfusion Machine after Long Cold Ischemia Time: 3 Years Results
