A Comparative Analysis of Mucormycosis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients and Other Immunosuppressed Hosts Including Patients with Uncontrolled Diabetes
*Purpose: Mucormycosis is a rare disease that is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. It usually affects those with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM) and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Access to Direct Acting Antiviral Therapy for Recipients of Solid Organs from Hepatitis C Viremic Donors
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN
*Purpose: Emerging data supports transplantation of organs from hepatitis C-positive (HCV) donors to expand the donor pool, but access to direct acting antivirals (DAAs) to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Epidemiology of EBV Infection and EBV Load Kinetics after Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation
National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan
*Purpose: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous virus that infects more than 90% of adult population worldwide. EBV infection after pediatric liver transplantation (LT) accounts…2020 American Transplant Congress
High Health Literacy is Associated with Decreased Likelihood of Waitlist Mortality for Some Solid Organ Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Health Literacy (HL) impacts post-transplant outcomes and listing for kidney transplant patients, but little is known about likelihood of solid organ transplant for kidney…2020 American Transplant Congress
Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate Use in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients and its Effect on Potassium and Immunosuppression
*Purpose: Transplant recipients often suffer from hyperkalemia which can limit pharmacotherapy. The cause of hyperkalemia is often multifactorial including kidney dysfunction, calcineurin inhibitor use, and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Attitudes Toward Organ, Tissue, and Vascularized Composite Allograft Donation and Transplantation: A Survey of United States Military Veterans
*Purpose: There are nearly 20 million living US armed forces veterans; however, the veteran community has not been the focus of any studies on organ…2020 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA is Not Influenced by Steroid Dosing in Heart Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Gene expression profiling (GEP) was recognized as an alternative to biopsy for rejection surveillance in the 2010 International society for Heart and Lung Transplantation…2020 American Transplant Congress
Immunosurveillance with Donor Derived Cellular Free DNA Assay Plus Donor Specific Antibody, an Alternative to Renal Allograft Biopsy
Transplant Nephrology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Surveillance allograft biopsies (SVAB) are used by many centers to identify subclinical immunologic injury. SVAB entails bleeding risks. Non-invasive modalities such as donor-derived cell-free…2020 American Transplant Congress
