Multi-Targeting Desensitization Therapy Alters Peripheral B-Cell Homeostasis and Suppresses Recall Alloantibody Responses
CTC/Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: Occurring of donor specific antibodies (DSA) is injurious to organ transplant. Development of immunotherapies to suppress DSA, therefore, has been one of the strategic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pharmacologic Donor Management Influences Liver Transplant Graft Survival and Transplant Admission Length of Stay: An Update
In liver transplantation, donor management is an area that can be modified to improve survival and lower cost. We reviewed the UNOS Standard Transplant Analysis…2018 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Phenotype and Its Immunomodulatory Effects during Allo-Specific T Cell Immune-Responses
Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been suggested play an important role in modulating cell-mediated immunity. In the setting of transplantation, allogeneic MSCs could mediate suppressive…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Pre-Operative Opioid Use on Delayed Graft Function in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background and Objectives: Opioid use is associated with AKI and ATN through both direct and indirect mechanisms, including alterations in the autonomic nervous system, the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Does Pre-Operative Angiographic Kidney Embolization Decrease Complications in Allograft Nephrectomy?
Surgery, Medicine, Wake Forest Baptist Health, Winston-Salem, NC.
Introduction: Morbidity associated with allograft nephrectomy (AN) for treatment of failed or diseased kidney transplants is well documented. Pre-operative angiographic kidney embolization (PAKE), which induces…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Microbiome Associated with Chronic Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplants
Background: Microbiome dysbiosis can lead to poor outcomes after kidney transplant (tx) presumably due to immune dysregulation elicited by the microbiome. We hypothesize that chronic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Association of Physical Function and Survival in Elderly Renal Transplant Recipients
Background: There is a significant increase in the number of older renal transplant recipients in the United States. Physical function (PF) may impact mortality in…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) Donor Kidneys: Use Them, Don't Lose Them!
Surgery, Medicine, Pathology, Pharmacy, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC.
Introduction: With the development of the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and a new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) implemented on 12/4/14, the expanded criteria donor…2018 American Transplant Congress
Furosemide Stress Test as a Predicting Biomarker for Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation
Delayed graft function (DGF) is considered as a risk factor for long-term allograft failure and rejection episodes.There is currently no biomarker in the immediate post-kidney…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Tract Infections May Be Associated with De Novo Donor-Specific Anti-Human Leucocyte Antigen Antibodies: Single-Center Study
Introduction: We have recently shown that immunosuppression reduction with BK virus is associated with the development of de novo donor anti-human leukocyte antigen-specific antibodies (dnDSA).…
