Medical Nonadherence as a Cause of Renal Allograft Failure: A Ten Year Single Center Retrospective Analysis
Annette C & Harold C Simmons Transplant Institute, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
Background: Despite the advent of modern immunosuppression, long term renal allograft outcomes have remained relatively unchanged. In the renal transplant population, medical nonadherence is a…2013 American Transplant Congress
Drop in Allograft Function Associates with Drop in Bone Mineral Density Z Score in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients
Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine, St Louis, MO
The high prevalence of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) in pediatric renal transplant recipients has been linked to the duration of dialysis pre transplant, exposure to steroids,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of PI3K/AKT and Autophagy in the Protective Effect of Fasting Against Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Mice, The
Background and aim: Preoperative fasting is known to attenuate liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the exact mechanism behind this protective effect is unknown. This…2013 American Transplant Congress
Utilization of the Chronic Kidney Disease-EPI Equation To Predict Outcomes in Lung Transplant Recipients

Rates and Outcomes of Renal Transplantation in Children with Intellectual Disability
Background: Limited data exist on renal transplantation in children with intellectual disability (ID). In 2008, UNOS began collecting data on the cognitive and academic level…2013 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Liver Transplant (LT) Proteinuria Is Not an Absolute Indication for Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation (SLK)
Transplantation, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
LT candidates with proteinuria and renal dysfunction are often considered for SLK. Methods: 39 LT candidates with 24-hr urine protein >150 mg/dl and renal dysfunction…2013 American Transplant Congress
Regulatory Dendritic Cells (DCreg) Prolong Kidney Allograft Survival in Non-Human Primates When Combined with Costimulation Blockade and Rapamycin
Background: Regulatory immune cells are promising therapeutic agents to promote immunosuppressive drug minimization/withdrawal in organ transplantation. Dendritic cells (DC) are innate immune antigen (Ag)-presenting cells…
