Tyrosine Receptor Kinase Axl Regulates Intragraft Trafficking of Alloreactive T Cells Post Kidney Transplantation
1Nephrology/Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC, 2Pathology, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Previous studies have shown that receptor tyrosine kinase Axl, primarily expressed on dendritic cells and some tissue-specific macrophage population, is required for T cells…2020 American Transplant Congress
Undernutrition and Hypoleptinemia Modulate Cytomegalovirus Infection
1Pediatrics, Duke University, Durham, NC, 2Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia/infection remains a significant cause of morbidity in transplantation, especially in the undernourished population. Undernutrition and hypoleptinemia have been implicated in other…2020 American Transplant Congress
Treg Lymphotoxin Signals Promote Cancer Metastatic Migration: Mechanisms for Treg-Cancer Interaction
1Surgery, U of Maryland, Baltimore, MD, 2U of Maryland, College Park, MD
*Purpose: Immune suppressive therapy can be complicated by malignancy. Regulatory T cells (Treg) control immune tolerance for graft survival but cause to immune suppression in…2020 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcomes Associated with Long-Term Exposure to Airborne Particulate Pollution in Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the relationship of 10-μm particulate matter (PM10) with the risk of graft failure, mortality, and decline of graft function in…2020 American Transplant Congress
Identifying an Optimal Liver Frailty Index Cutoff to Predict Waitlist Mortality in Liver Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Frailty is associated with mortality in liver transplant (LT) waitlist candidates. We developed the Liver Frailty Index (LFI) to assess frailty in patients with…2020 American Transplant Congress
Improving DRG Based Reimbursement to Reflect Complexity of Kidney Transplant
*Purpose: More than 90,000 individuals await a kidney transplant (KTx) in the US, yet up to 20% of recovered kidneys are discarded. Organ Transplant Centers…2020 American Transplant Congress
Thymoglobulin (ATG) Induction vs. Campath vs. Simulect in DCD Kidneys in UK; Induction Regimes Play a Role after All
*Purpose: Controlled DCD kidneys have increased dramatically in UK. They suffer from a higher rate of DGF and, often in UK, come from older donors…2020 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Graft Outcome after Subclinical Banff Borderline Changes Suspicious for Acute T Cell-Mediated Rejection
Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea, Republic of
*Purpose: Long term data after Banff borderline changes suspicious for acute T cell-mediated rejection (BDR lesion) are scarce, and hence, there is little evidence to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Short Recipient Warm Ischemia Time Improves Graft Survival in Liver Transplantation from Donation after Brain Death: 20-Year Experience of Liver Transplantation
Transplant Institute, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
*Purpose: Although the correlation between warm ischemia time (WIT) and the outcomes of liver transplantation has been extensively studied, few investigations have focused on the…2020 American Transplant Congress
Increasing Prevalence and Diversity: Alcoholic Liver Disease in Liver Transplant Candidates
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
*Purpose: Increasing global alcohol use translates to a marked growth in alcoholic liver disease (ALD). ALD patients comprise a larger proportion of listings for liver…
