Cognitive impairment in the liver transplant (LT) population could negatively affect one's ability to self-manage. This study examined cognition and its relationship with self-management in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Acquired Resistance to Transplantation Tolerance as a Result of Prior Pregnancy Requires B Cells
Introduction: Clinical data suggest allogeneic pregnancy is a sensitizing event; yet, recent data from mouse models indicates it induces fetal-specific regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion…2018 American Transplant Congress
Respiratory Viral Infections Induces Exosomes and Antibodies to Lung Self-Antigens, Kα1Tubulin and Collagen V, Following Human Lung Transplantation
Respiratory viral infection (RVI) following human lung transplantation (LTx) increases the risk for chronic rejection. We demonstrated that lung transplant recipients (LTxR) with acute and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of KDPI and CPRA on Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles.
Introduction: The new KAS has led to a marked increase in kidney transplants among highly sensitized recipients, mostly attributable to higher allocation of low KDPI…2018 American Transplant Congress
