The Perioperative Coagulation Profile of Hepatocellular Carcinoma During Liver Transplantation Compared to Patients with Non-Malignant Disease: A Cause or Association for Decreased Blood Product Utilization During Liver Transplantation?
University of Colorado, Aurora, CO
*Purpose: Hepatobiliary malignancies have been associated with hyper-coagulability. However, the impact of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on coagulation during liver transplantation remains less clear. We hypothesize…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Purposeful Reductions in Immunosuppression on Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation

Treg-Lymphatic Interfaces: Unique Molecular Structures for Cell-Cell Interactions During Migration
*Purpose: To promote transplant tolerance, T regulatory cells (Treg) must enter the afferent lymphatic vasculature by migrating across lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), and then home…2020 American Transplant Congress
Exposure to Tacrolimus Trough Levels Below 6ng/ml During the First Year is Associated with Inferior Kidney Graft Survival
Department of Nephrology and Hypertension, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel

Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Cystatin C Provides the Best Prediction of Cardiovascular Events and Mortality Compared to Measured GFR and Creatinine Based GFR in Kidney Transplant Recipients
1Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ, 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: GFR estimated by cystatin C (CysC) is a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality compared to eGFR by creatinine (Cr) in native…2020 American Transplant Congress
Predonation Hypertension and Early Postdonation Systolic Blood Pressure among Older Living Kidney Donors
*Purpose: One mechanism underlying predonation hypertension in older (age≥50) living kidney donors is a reduced number of nephrons. The 50% nephron mass reduction associated with…2020 American Transplant Congress
Safety and Immunogenicity of Adjuvanted Recombinant Subunit Herpes Zoster Vaccine in Lung Transplant Recipients
1University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada, 2CDC, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: The new adjuvanted subunit recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (RZV; Shingrix™) may have potential utility in transplant patients for the prevention of shingles, but there…2020 American Transplant Congress
