Optimal Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Dose for Induction Immunosuppression in Kidney Transplantation
Organ Transplant Program, Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, WA.
Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is used as induction immunosuppression in kidney transplantation to prevent allograft rejection. ATG causes dose-dependent lymphocyte depletion, yet optimal dose is unknown.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Radioisotopic Evaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) before and 1 Year after Kindey Donation for Transplantation: The Concept of Estimated Renal Functional Reserve (eRFR)
Kidney donors (KD) develop a partial loss of renal function defined as Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Recovery from AKI is due to renal functional reserve…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Prevalence of Kidney Transplant-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy after ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation: Risk Factors, Rapid Clinical Diagnosis, and Prompt Successful Treatment
BackgroundKidney transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (KTA-TMA) is a multifactorial inflammatory disorder and thrombotic disease of the microvasculature. It is characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute…2018 American Transplant Congress
Transplantation Tourism and Recipients Perspectives and Experience
The Renal Medicine Department, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman.
Background: In view of shortages of available organs, long wait times for possible transplantation and strict regulation, many patients opt for commercial transplantation. This study…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Proteomics as a Dignostic Mean for Chronic Humoral Rejection after Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) is the main cause of long-term graft loss and presents a diagnostic challenge in renal transplantation medicine. Late-stage diagnosis is made…2018 American Transplant Congress
Creatinine Monitoring by Remote Blood Spot Testing in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Pediatric kidney transplant patients are monitored frequently with laboratory testing to assess kidney transplant function and to optimize therapeutic drug levels. Challenges to timely…2018 American Transplant Congress
Re-Hospitalization after Pediatric Kidney Transplantation in Steroid Avoidance Protocols
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Data on re-hospitalization rates in steroid avoidance protocols is limited. We performed a single-center, retrospective cohort study of pediatric kidney transplant recipients between 2006 and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Distribution of Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection in a Large Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program: A Four Year Experience
Introduction: Kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing rejection, transplant glomerulopathy, and other pathology after transplantation. We aimed to understand the distribution of Banff…2018 American Transplant Congress
Advanced Liver Care and Salvage Transplantation Improves Outcomes for Patients with Cirrhosis Requiring Abdominal General Surgical Procedures
Introduction: Historically, abdominal general surgical procedures on cirrhotic patients carry up to an 80% mortality rate. We hypothesized outcomes of cirrhotic patients requiring abdominal surgical…2018 American Transplant Congress
Role of Obesity in Pediatric Liver Transplantation
PURPOSE: Pediatric obesity rates are climbing and the prevalence of obesity in children undergoing liver transplantation now exceeds that of the general population. Studies in…
