Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Liver Transplantation is Associated with Acute Kidney Injury: Role of Inflammatory Mediators
1Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis; 2Surgery, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy.
Background: The impact of liver allograft ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) on native renal function remains to be characterized. We hypothesized that elevated levels of circulating inflammatory…2018 American Transplant Congress
Screening of RhoA/ROCK Inhibitors for the Ability to Prevent Chronic Rejection of Mouse Cardiac Allografts
Objectives. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs is a major obstacle in human organ transplantation. Although the mechanisms of chronic rejection are poorly understood it is…2018 American Transplant Congress
Ex Vivo Expanded Regulatory B Cells Promote Allograft Survival through IL-10-Dependent Pathway
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Immunomodulatory capacity of B cells make them a promising therapeutic tool for autoimmune and alloimmune response in patients. We found that transplant tolerance induced by…2018 American Transplant Congress
Recombinant Relaxin Protects Liver Transplants from Ischemia-Reperfusion Damage via Hepatocyte Glucocorticoid Receptor: From Bench-to-Bedside
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major risk factor of early graft dysfunction and acute/chronic rejection as well as a key obstacle to expanding the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Decreased Long-Term Survival with Antithymocyte Globulin Induction in Elderly Kidney Transplant Recipients
Henry Ford Transplant Institute, Detroit, MI.
Purpose: Long-term consequences of immunosuppression on the elderly is still unclear. This data to evaluates long-term outcomes for younger (Y) versus elderly (E) kidney transplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
