Introduction: The recent expansion in donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplantation within the UK has raised questions regarding donor suitability, particularly relating to the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Obese Renal Transplant Candidates
Dialysis is associated with high mortality, and obesity often precludes transplantation. Weight loss prior to transplantation may reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with transplantation.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comprehensive Analyses of Inhibitory Effects of the mTOR Inhibitor Everolimus on the Differentiation into Subsets of Human T-Helper Cells and B Cells
Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan
[Aim] Although the various potential benefits of everolimus over other immunosuppressants in organ transplantation have been described, the precise sensitivity of this drug to differentiation…2013 American Transplant Congress
Does an Isolated Positive B-Cell Crossmatch Carry Prognostic Information in Pediatric Heart Transplantation?
Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA
BACKGROUND: Recent data suggest that a positive T-cell crossmatch (CM) is associated with reduced post-heart transplant survival in children. An isolated positive B-cell flow crossmatch…2013 American Transplant Congress
Infection Related Kidney Discards
Background: Despite a long wait-list, transplant physicians always weigh the benefit of transplantation against the risk of accepting a potentially infected solid organ with resultant…2013 American Transplant Congress
Non-Invasive Imaging of Acute Allograft Rejection by Ultrasound Detection of Microbubbles Targeted to T-Lymphocytes in a Rat Renal Transplantation Model
ObjectiveWe propose anti-CD3-antibody-mediated contrast-enhanced ultrasonography using human T-lymphocytes for image-based diagnosis and differentiation of acute allograft rejection (AR) established in a rat renal transplantation model.MethodsAfter…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lower Serum Magnesium 1-Year Posttranplantation Is Associated with Decreased Graft Survival in Renal Transplant Recipients
Hypomagnesaemia is a known side effect of immunosuppressive regimen, especially calcineurin inhibitors, and has been associated with new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), decreased graft…2013 American Transplant Congress
Therapeutic Mycophenolic Acid Area-Under-Curve (MPA AUC) Levels Abolish Donor-Specific Antibody Formation in Established and De Novo Renal Transplant Patients
PinnacleHealth Transplantation, Harrisburg, PA
Background: Donor-specific antibody (DSA) formation is a key factor in development of antibody-mediated rejection and irreversible renal dysfunction. Prevention of DSA formation is critical, mandating…2013 American Transplant Congress
Minimization of Immunosuppression for ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation Based on the Strength of Pretreatment Anti A/B Antibody Titer
Acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) used to be a major problem in ABO-incompatible KidneyTransplantation (ABOi-KTx), and currently rituximab has been accepted to reduce the prevalence…
