A National Survey of Immunosuppression Strategies in Intestinal Transplantation
*Purpose: Review the management of immunosuppression (IS) for intestinal transplantation (IT) in the USA*Methods: A survey was created and sent via email to surgical directors…2019 American Transplant Congress
Increasing Net Immunosuppression after BK Viremia
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: BK viremia is associated with inferior kidney allograft outcomes. Typical treatment involves reduction in immunosuppression. However reduction in immunosuppression is also likely to lead…2019 American Transplant Congress
Recipients with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Sodium Score Driven by Renal Dysfunction Have Increased Post-Transplant Mortality
Gastroenterology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
*Purpose: Since the adoption of the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score as a primary means of waitlist prioritization for liver transplantation (LT), an…2019 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Visceral Adiposity is Associated with Post-Liver Transplant Mortality and Poorly Correlates with BMI in a Prospective Cohort Study
Division of Liver Diseases and Transplantation, Columbia Univerisity Medical Center, New York, NY
*Purpose: Obesity is increasingly common in end-stage-liver disease (ESLD). While obesity adversely affects outcomes, whether abnormalities in specific adipose tissue (AT) compartments lead to increased…2019 American Transplant Congress
Early CXCR5+PD1+ICOS+ Circulating Follicular T Helpers Are Associated with De Novo Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies after Renal Transplantation
*Purpose: Donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) are a major risk factor associated with renal allograft outcome. As a trigger of B cell antibody production, T…2019 American Transplant Congress
Total Parenteral Nutrition in Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: Addressing Metabolism Improves Both Inflammation and Overall Graft Performance
Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Contemporary clinical ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) protocols generally limit metabolic supplementation to insulin and glucose. Furthermore, conventional perfusates are void of many ingredients…2019 American Transplant Congress

Long Term Renal Function Following Islet Transplantation in the Clinical Islet Transplantation Consortium
*Purpose: Islet transplantation (IsletTp) is safe and effective treatment of Type 1 diabetes complicated by severe hypoglycemia (Diabetes Care 2016, 39:1230). But the requirement for…2019 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Ex Vivo Normothermic Perfusion Model of Human Antibody Mediated Rejection
*Purpose: Currently, no human experimental model of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) exists, making the assessment of therapeutic interventions difficult hence the aim of our work is…2019 American Transplant Congress
Natural Anti-a Antibody Production In Mice Is Cd4 T Cell-independent
*Purpose: ABO-incompatible organ transplants (ABOi-Tx) are at high risk of rapid rejection mediated by preformed ABO antibodies (Ab) except during infancy when they are absent.…
