Pre-Liver Transplant Renal Dysfunction is an Independent Predictor of Post-Liver Transplant Return to the Operating Room
Department of Transplant, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
*Purpose: Pre-liver transplant (LT) renal dysfunction predicts worse outcomes post-LT but the reasons for this are unclear. We aimed at identifying the effect of pre-LT…2019 American Transplant Congress
Higher Population Donor Service Areas Are Associated With Lower Meld At Death On Wait List And Higher Meld At Removal For “Too Sick
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Plans for distance based allocation in liver transplantation have raised concerns that patients listed in more rural Donor Service Areas (DSAs) will be disadvantaged…2019 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Two Dosing Regimens of Valganciclovir for Cytomegalovirus Prophylaxis in High-Risk Liver Transplant Recipients
Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Significant controversy surrounds the optimal dose and duration of valganciclovir (VGCV) to prevent CMV in high-risk (D+/R-) liver transplant (LT) recipients. High doses cause…2019 American Transplant Congress
Is Exposure to Wildfires Associated with Invasive Fungal Infections?
*Purpose: In recent decades, climate change and other factors have led to a global increase in wildfires. After a large fire in Northern California in…2019 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy of Filgrastim in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Neutropenia frequently occurs after solid organ transplantation (SOT) due to immunosuppression, antiviral prophylaxis, or viral infections. Immunosuppression reduction or antiviral prophylaxis minimization can lead…2019 American Transplant Congress
Treprostinil Attenuates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rat
*Purpose: Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal diseases. The surgical procedure of KTx inherently requires cold ischemic preservation and warm reperfusion…2019 American Transplant Congress
Microvascular Rarefaction and Long-Term Graft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Delayed Graft Function
*Purpose: Delayed graft function (DGF), or acute kidney injury in the perioperative period, is associated with decreased kidney graft survival.*Methods: As animal studies suggest that…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Molecular Profile of Kidney Allografts Unveil Specific Biomarkers for Subclinical Acute Rejection (SAR). Towards an Early Detection and a Targeted Treatment
Schena Foundation, Valenzano-Bari, Italy
*Purpose: SAR diagnosed by protocol biopsy is an independent risk factor for chronic allograft injury. We organized a molecular study on 24 AB0 compatible cadaveric…2019 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Lymphopenia is Associated with Higher Risk of Graft Failure, Death and Viral Infections
*Purpose: The transplantation field needs biomarkers to assess the level of immunosuppression. In this study, we aimed to analyze the independent correlation between the number…2019 American Transplant Congress
Use of Anti-Vimentin Antibodies as a Possible Marker for Graft Dysfunction Following Renal Transplant, a Prospective Study
*Purpose: In our previously published work, we showed that presence of anti-vimentin antibodies (AVA) after renal transplant correlated with early IFTA (Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular…
