Single Center Experience with Long-Term Prospective BK Monitoring in Renal Transplantation
Prospective screening for BK viremia (BKV) in renal transplant recipients (RTR) may allow earlier detection of BKV reactivation and prevent BKV nephropathy (BKVN). However, utility…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of Estimated GFR CKD-EPI as Screening Tool for Donor Selection
Purpose: Living donor selection usually includes a measured renal function rather than estimated GFR (eGFR) equations, such as CKD-EPI because of concerns of accuracy. However,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type 2 Expression on Regulatory T Cells Predicts Acute Kidney Injury after Kidney Transplantation
Multi-Organ Transplant Program, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) leads to worse graft outcomes after kidney transplantation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is classically a mediator of AKI. Recent evidence,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Functional and Quality of Life Outcomes at One Year after Successful Bilateral Hand Transplant
Background: Upper limb loss has severe consequences with regard to functional status and mental health. Prostheses, though sophisticated, lack sensory feedback and appear unnatural. Upper…2013 American Transplant Congress
HLA-DR Mismatching Is Not Associated with Decreased Graft Survival in Highly Sensitized Kidney Recipients
