Long-term Impact of Antihypertensive Treatment and Tacrolimus Dose in Renal Allograft Recipients 5 Years Post-Transplantation
*Purpose: Inflammation and fibrosis after renal transplantation may be modulated by optimizing tacrolimus exposure, or by use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), or angiotensin receptor…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Utility of Donor and Recipient BK Virus Antibody Testing Prior to Renal Transplantation in Risk Assessment for Developing BK Viremia
Driscoll Children's Hospital, Corpus Christi, TX
*Purpose: The correlation between donor (DON) and recipient (REC) BKV antibody (AB) titers and BK viremia in renal transplant (RTx) has not been well-studied in…2019 American Transplant Congress
Cytokine Profiles in Children after Pediatric Kidney Transplantation with Acute Cellular Compared to Chronic Active Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Pediatric Nephrology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
*Purpose: Until now, no blood biomarkers have been identified to enable early diagnosis of acute cellular or chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (cABMR) after pediatric kidney…2019 American Transplant Congress
Tandem Mass Tags Based Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Quantitative Proteomic Changes in Renal Allograft Biopsies with Polyomavirus BK Nephropathy
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Transcriptomics analyses have not generated reliable means to distinguish T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) from BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Proteomics-based approaches deserve further exploration since…2019 American Transplant Congress
Donor Hepatitis C Seropositivity Confers Poorer Post-transplant Outcomes In Recipients Of Marginal Livers In The Post-hepatitis C Treatment Era
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY
*Purpose: Since the introduction of newer antiretroviral therapies, utilization of hepatitis C (HCV) positive livers has increased significantly for HCV recipients. In an effort to…2019 American Transplant Congress
Increasing the Number of Liver Transplants through Active Review of Offers Turned Down
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
*Purpose: To increase the number of patients benefiting from a liver transplant, a university transplant program instituted a weekly review meeting of the transplant surgeons…2019 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Liver Transplantation during the Opioid Epidemic: UNOS Analysis of Organ Availability and Outcomes
*Purpose: The opioid epidemic has been largely responsible for the 3-fold increase in deaths due to drug overdose over the last 15 years. Whether this…2019 American Transplant Congress
Correlation between Gene Expression and Histology in Transbronchial Lung Transplant Biopsies
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Transbronchial lung transplant biopsies (TBBx) are limited by non-specific histologic lesions and suboptimal interobserver reproducibility. Gene expression offers a potentially more precise, objective and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Azole Use and Fungal Pathogens in Cystic Fibrosis versus Non-Cystic Fibrosis Lung Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients exhibit unique pharmacokinetic principles. Azole antifungals show marked inter- and intra-patient variability. We aimed to improve itraconazole (ITR) use and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Multi-Disciplinary Considerations Concerning the Impacts of Kidney Transplantation on Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Fusion Operations
The University of Toledo Medical Center, Toledo, OH
