Role of CD4+CD25+ T reg Cells on Allo-B Cell Formation and DSA Production in a Chronic Rejection Model after T Cell Depletion, The
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA
[Background] Donor specific antibody (DSA) has been causally linked to chronic rejection that accounts for the failure of 20-40% of organ transplants. However, the role…2013 American Transplant Congress
Donor Evaluation Efficiency Issues in Kidney Paired Donation: Increased Evaluations, Turn Downs, Time to Donation and Cost
Introduction Kidney paired donation (KPD) is critically dependent on the availability of a large number of willing and acceptable donors. Accepting a large number of…2013 American Transplant Congress
National Sharing of ECD Kidneys Is Justified, Even in the Face of Prolonged CIT
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Current kidney allocation in the US includes national sharing of ECD kidneys in cases of 0 HLA- A- B DR mismatches. Concerns regarding prolonged CIT…2013 American Transplant Congress
Paired Donation (PD) Problem Solving 101-A Single Center Protocol to Rapidly Facilitate Large Simultaneous Swaps
California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, CA

Pre Liver Transplant Loco Regional Bridging Therapy for HCC: Efficacy of Combined TACE and RFA Versus TACE Alone Based on Explant Pathology
Aim: to compare efficacy of combined transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus TACE alone in pre transplant treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based…2013 American Transplant Congress
Decreasing Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Is Associated with an Increasing Risk of Hospitalization in the First Year Post Renal Transplantation
Background: A decrease in renal function is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, graft loss and mortality following renal transplantation. It is unclear…2013 American Transplant Congress
Low Birth Weight and Risk of Proteinuria in Former Kidney Donors
Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Introduction: Low birth weight (LBW) has been linked to hypertension, diabetes, and possibly CKD. We hypothesized that kidney donors with LBW may be at increased…2013 American Transplant Congress
Eculizumab in aHUS Pts with Long Disease Duration, with or without Renal Transplant
