Immune Modulatory Effect of Thalidomide and Dexamethasone Co-Treatment on Murine Splenocytes
Thalidomide (TM) is known to have anti-inflammatory effects and dexamethasone (DX) is also well known to reduce inflammation and inhibit inflammatory cytokine production. Clinically, combinatorial…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pumping Donor Kidneys Reduces DGF and Improves Allograft Survival without Affecting Rejection Rates
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Recent evidence suggests that hypothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys reduces delayed graft function (DGF), but data is sparse on its effect on allograft rejection.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Implementation of Intensive Standardized Follow-Up in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction & Objective: Kidney transplant recipients have higher rates of prolonged hospitalization and readmission rates. We aimed to identify modifiable predictors of 30-day readmission and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Association between Genetic Polymorphisms of Fc Gamma Receptor Genes (FcgR) and the Development of Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA) after Kidney Transplant
Background: Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the most important barriers to improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes. The presence of donor specific antibodies (DSA)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Antiproteinuric Effect of Spironolactone in Renal Transplantation: Effectiveness and Clinical Outcomes
University of Campinas, Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Background: aldosterone is involved in development of fibrosis in kidney transplantation. Blockade of aldosterone receptor appears to be effective in treatment for chronic allograft dysfunction,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation (KTx) Using Kidneys from Deceased Donors (DD) with Severe Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)
Background:Transplant centers are reluctant to accept kidneys from DD with severe AKI necessitating utilization of RRT. The aim of this study is to determine the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predictors of Kidney Transplant Recipient Readmissions
Glickman Urology and Nephrology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland.
Introduction: Readmission rates for kidney transplant recipients is high and widely variable with a range of 18-47% nationwide. We aimed to characterize kidney transplant patients…2018 American Transplant Congress
One-Year Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Liver Fibrosis or Compensated Cirrhosis from Chronic Hepatitis C Receiving Kidney Transplant Alone
Background: Hepatitis C (HCV) was difficult to treat post-kidney transplant prior to the direct acting antiviral (DAA) era. As such patients with advanced fibrosis and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Serum Beta-(1,3)-D-Glucan as a Case-Finding Tool during an Outbreak of Pneumocystitis jirovecii Pneumonia in Abdominal Transplant Patients
Division of Infectious Diseases, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY.
Background: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia(PJP) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients carries significant morbidity and mortality. There is mounting evidence for ongoing risk of PJP in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Reduced Ratio of FoxP3/ RORγt Gene Expression, in Peripheral Blood, is Associated with Acute Allograft Rejection in Recipients with Kidney Transplantation
Introduction:FoxP3 has been well established as an indispensable protein that is required in the development and function of regulatory T cells. On the other hand,…
