Donor Age and Ischemia Time Are Independent Factors Affecting Graft Survival after En-Bloc Kidney Transplantation from Pediatric Donors
Introduction:En-bloc kidney transplantation in adult recipients using organs from pediatric donors remains controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate short- and long-term outcome…2013 American Transplant Congress
Overcoming the Risk of Rejection in Sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients through an Advanced and Stringent HLA Matching Protocol
Background: High levels of panel reactive antibody (PRA) have been associated with a significant risk of acute rejection and graft loss. Immunosuppression has only modestly…2013 American Transplant Congress
Single Center Evaluation of Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Renal Transplantation, A
Purpose. Renal transplant candidates with high levels of anti-HLA antibodies have longer wait times on the deceased donor list and overall lower transplant rates compared…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation after Heart Transplantation in the Reduction of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy, The
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA
BACKGROUND: Cardiac rehabilitation after heart transplantation has been documented to be beneficial for increased physical activity via a randomized trial using cardiopulmonary stress testing. It…2013 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Cold Ischemia Increases the Early Infiltration and Effector Functions of Memory CD8 T Lymphocytes in Cardiac Allografts
Immunology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
Introduction: During organ transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inescapable challenge that detrimentally impacts graft outcome. While I/R induced molecular mechanisms mediating injury of ischemic…2013 American Transplant Congress
Impact of HLA-DQ Matching on Alloantibody Production in Primary Renal Transplant Recipients, The
Recent findings have shown the DQ donor specific alloantibodies (DSA) are associated with transplant glomerulopathy and seem to appear more often than other loci DSA.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Early Steroid Avoidance Reduces the Chance for a Subsequent Transplant in Renal Transplant Recipients with Graft Failure
Early steroid avoidance (SA) in renal transplantation has been associated with more acute rejections compared to steroid continuation (SC) protocols. After graft failure, the long…2013 American Transplant Congress
Is There a Clinically Meaningful Difference between "Preformed" and "De Novo" Alloantibodies in Negative Crossmatch Renal Transplantation?
Researchers have long categorized DSA into 2 types: preformed and de novo. However, there have been no studies that directly compare the 2 entities. Herein,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Novel Population of Bone Marrow-Derived Granulocytes Express FasL and Perforin and Mediate Early Ischemic Injury, A
Immunology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
Introduction: Recent studies from our laboratory have documented a novel population of bone marrow derived granulocytes which are induced upon skin inflammation and are required…2013 American Transplant Congress
Tighter Pretransplant Glycemic Control Is Associated with Reduced Cardiovascular Events after Kidney Transplant in Diabetic Patients at 5 and 10 Year Follow-Up
University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati
Data on the impact of pretransplant glycemic control on posttransplant cardiovascular (CV) outcome and survival is limited and inconsistent. We hypothesized that tighter glycemic control…
