Novel Strategy To Prevent HCV Re-Infection Post Liver Transplantation: Anti-E1/E2 Monoclonal Antibody and Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) in Combination, A
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Background: Prophylaxis against HCV infection of the naÏve allograft is integral to efforts to improve outcomes in HCV positive liver transplant recipients. To effectively achieve…2013 American Transplant Congress
Validating the Microarray Test for T Cell-Mediated Rejection in Biopsies in a Prospective Trial: The INTERCOM Study
We previously reported a microarray-based test for T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) in biopsies from renal transplants. To validate this test, we undertook a prospective international…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
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta
Background: HLA mismatches, especially those at the HLA-DR locus, are reported to influence allograft survival. In this single center study the effect of HLA-DR matching…2013 American Transplant Congress
Thromboembolic Events Are Increased in Heart and Lung Transplant Recipients Who Received Intra-Operative Recombinant Factor VIIa
Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) is often used intra-operatively for refractory bleeding in heart and lung transplant recipients (HTxR, LTxR). While this off-label use may help…2013 American Transplant Congress
Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the Evaluation of Auto-Islet Candidates
Surgery, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
Purpose: We used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as a comparative tool with glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to assess metabolic function in auto-islet transplant candidates.Methods: From…2013 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Socio-Demographic Variables on the Pathology on Living Kidney Donors
Purpose: Living kidney donation is the preferred therapy for kidney transplant recipients and outcomes of living donors have been overall excellent. There are no histological…2013 American Transplant Congress
Feasibility of Organ Donation on ECMO: An Analysis of Kidney and Liver Allograft Data
Introduction: ECMO has become rescue therapy for adults with overwhelming cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Despite improving outcomes, not all patients are saved, creating a new…
