Vesicoureteral Reflux after Kidney Transplantation Influences Long-Term Graft Survival
[Introduction] Post-transplant vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a complication of kidney transplantation (KT) causing graft interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. However, risk factors for VUR or…2018 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Disparity in Access to Deceased-Donor Liver Transplantation for Pediatric Candidates
1JHU, Baltimore; 2US Naval Academy, Annapolis.
Geographic disparity in access to deceased-donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is largely uncharacterized for pediatric candidates. We investigated geographic disparity in DDLT rates across Donation Service…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Graft Function >10 Years: The Cumulative US Experience
1SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Broooklyn, NY; 2SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.
Background and Study Purpose: The cumulative US experience with long-term pancreas graft function has not been reported.Methods: Between 1966 and 2005, 18,197 pancreas transplants due…2018 American Transplant Congress
Alloreactive B Cells Acquire Cell-Intrinsic Hyporesponsiveness in Tolerant Recipients
Donor-specific transplantation tolerance has long been an aspiration of clinical transplantation. Recently, we have reported that multiple mechanisms are required to reinforce profound hyporesponsiveness of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Assessment of Pre-Implantation Donor Biopsies: Effects of Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time and Development of Delayed Graft Function
Background: Deceased-donor (DD) kidneys are at higher risk for ischemia/reperfusion injury leading to increased inflammatory mediators and innate immune response. We aimed to investigate the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of the Kidney Allocation System on Young Pediatric Recipients
1University of Chicago, Chicago, IL; 2Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA.
Purpose: The Kidney Allocation System (KAS) altered the priority of pediatric candidates for deceased donor kidney transplantation. Before long-term graft outcomes can be assessed, Delayed…2018 American Transplant Congress
Proton-Pump Inhibitor Utilization is Associated with Higher Rates of Clostridium difficile Infection and Hypomagnesemia after Kidney Transplant
The purpose of this project was to identify how many kidney transplant patients were taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) after kidney transplant at our…2018 American Transplant Congress
Inflammation in Scarred Areas (i-IF/TA): Defining the Response to Standard Treatment of T Cell-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Recipients
Paris Translational Research Center for Organ Transplantation, Paris, France.
The 2017 Banff meeting has focused on the importance of defining the potential role of i-IF/TA as a component of the T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR)…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Calculator for Kidney Transplant Waitlist Outcomes under the New Kidney Allocation System
1HCMC, Minneapolis; 2SRTR, Minneapolis; 3Univ of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
BACKGROUND: Outcomes on the kidney transplant waiting list vary markedly by region and patient characteristics, and the new kidney allocation system (KAS) changed the probability…2018 American Transplant Congress
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta Regulates Liver Inflammation Activation and Resolution by Controlling AMPK Activities
Background & Aims: Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3β) is ubiquitously expressed with distinctive functions in different types of cells. Although its roles in regulating innate…
