Liver Transplantation (LT) in Patients Receiving Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT): Predicting Renal Recovery and Post-Transplant Futility
Surgery, UCLA, LA, CA; Anesthesiology, UCLA, LA, CA
Background: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) system prioritizes liver allocation to patients in renal failure, increasing the number of simultaneous liver-kidney transplants (SLK).…2013 American Transplant Congress
Renal Transplant Recipients with Positive Donor Specific Antibodies Maintain Stable Graft Function with Mycophenolic Acid Escalation
Background: Donor-specific HLA antibody (DSA) formation in post-renal transplant patients is associated with chronic rejection and graft failure. IgG3 DSA has been associated with poorer…2013 American Transplant Congress
How Should We Allocate Pediatric Deceased Donor Kidneys?
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
Background: Pediatric deceased donor kidneys (DDK) are an important source of organs for kidney transplantation although there is no consensus about 1) which candidates are…2013 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Goal Tacrolimus Levels on Renal Function over Five Years Post-Transplant
Purpose: The adverse effect of tacrolimus on renal function is well documented and lower goal levels are presumed to lead to superior renal outcomes. However…2013 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Landscape of Antibody-Mediated Rejection: Reading Endothelial Cell Biology in the Microcirculation, The
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Because experimental models are lacking, the recent emergence of a molecular definition of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) presents opportunities to characterize the mechanisms operating in ABMR.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Association between De Novo Post-Transplant Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer and Solid Tumor after Solid Organ Transplantation – An Analysis of OPTN/UNOS Data
Mendez National Institute of Transplantation, LA, CA; USC School of Medicine, LA, CA
Backgrounds. Incidences of skin cancer and solid tumor among solid organ transplant recipients are significantly higher than those of immunocompetent persons. Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC),…2013 American Transplant Congress
Hepatitis C Recurrence (HCVR) in Liver Transplant Recipients (OLT): Significant Reduction in Tacrolimus (FK) Dosage Can Be Safely Achieved in Patients Rendered Aviremic after Response-Guided Therapy (RGRx) Using Telaprevir (TVR)
The Liver Institute, Methodist Dallas Medical Center, Dallas, TX
Background: Allografts of viremic OLT are at high risk of dysfunction and failure. Conventional Rx outcomes with Pegylated interferon (P-IFN) + Ribavirin (RBV) are suboptimal.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Evaluated for Renal Transplantation. A Single Center Experience at Emory Transplant Center
Department of Nephrology, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA

Successful ABO Incompatible (ABOi) Kidney Transplantation with Rapid Steroid Withdrawal
Nephrology, Columbia University, New York; Surgery, Columbia University, New York
INTRO: ABOi transplantation is thought to be of high immunologic risk. However, chronic steroid use has been associated with long term complications. Little data are…2013 American Transplant Congress
Immunologically Modified FETs for Protein Detection in Biologic Fluids
Background:Field effect transistors (FETs) are solid-state electrical devices with semiconductor channels through which charge carriers are able to migrate and generate current. FETs can be…
