Different Prognostic Impact of Liver Transplantation According to Liver Disease Etiologies
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
*Purpose: Disease specific background is not taken into consideration in the MELD-Na score based liver transplant (LT) allocation system. We hypothesized that optimal timing of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of Early and Late-Onset Cytomegalovirus Infection Following Universal Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplant Recipients
University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important viral infection in organ recipients and can cause life-threatening infections, compromising long-term graft function. Most transplant centers use…2020 American Transplant Congress
Late Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia Often Misdiagnosed
*Purpose: Since 2/2018, we have identified 60 transplant recipients presenting with late PCR confirmed Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP). Of this initial group, 17 kidney transplant recipients…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Economic Impact of HCV D+/R- Kidney Transplantation
1Lahey Clinic, Burlington, MA, 2Transplantation, Lahey Clinic, Burlington, MA
*Purpose: In September 2018, we began offering carefully screened kidney transplant candidates the opportunity for transplantation with kidneys from hepatitis C (HCV) positive deceased donors.…2020 American Transplant Congress
From Nudge to Nudges: Organizational Factors Explaining Different Incentives but Similarly Low Kidney Donation Outcomes in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: The research asks why global living and deceased donor rates of the past 15 years in advanced economies far exceed those occurring in Singapore,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Graft Survival by the Teaching Status of a Transplant Center (2008-2019)
*Purpose: Graft survival is an important metric in which transplant centers are graded, yet center-level variation in kidney graft survival still exist after accounting for…2020 American Transplant Congress
Enumeration of Platelets by Flow Cytometry Reveals Human Erythrocyte Fragmentation During Pig Organ Xenoperfusion Studies
*Purpose: Human or baboon platelet sequestration and activation occurs during pig organ xenograft perfusion, although the mechanism remains poorly understood. To evaluate an apparent “rebound”…2020 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Rapid Optimized Flow Cytometric Crossmatch (FCXM) Assay with Luminex Class I Single Antibody Test
*Purpose: Flow cytometric crossmatch test (FCXM) is critical to detect donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in transplant patients. Rapid, simple and sensitive FCXM procedure can improve HLA…2020 American Transplant Congress
Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy – Call for a Selective Radical Approach
*Purpose: Introduction: Retrieval of kidneys in obese donor with excessive peri-renal fat has been reported to be more technically challenging with increased incidence of surgical…2020 American Transplant Congress
Time-Zero Histology Correlates with Donor Characteristics but Does Not Predict Short-Term Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation
University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Time-zero biopsies provide important information about baseline histology but their clinical utility compared to other non-invasive predictors is unclear. Our center performs universal time-zero…
