Worldwide Survey of Live Liver Donor Evaluations
Background: Evaluation protocols for living liver donors candidates (LDCs) are not standardized. We conducted a worldwide survey of LDLT programs to determine current practices for…2013 American Transplant Congress
Maintaining a Calcineurin-Inhibitor after the Diagnosis of PTLD Is Safe and Improves Renal Graft Survival
Post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is the second most frequent neoplasia after renal transplantation. This life threatening disease corresponds to an uncontrolled proliferation of lymphocytes…2013 American Transplant Congress
Liver Retransplantation in HIV-Infected Patients: A Multicenter and Multinational Cohort Study
We describe the indications, clinical characteristics, and outcome of liver retransplantation (reLT) in HIV-infected patients included in 8 prospective national cohorts.Methods: We analyzed data from…2013 American Transplant Congress
Reduction in Mycophenolate in Leukopenic Renal Transplant Patients Is Not Associated with Worse Transplant Outcomes at 1 Year and 3 Year Post-Transplant
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA; Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Leukopenia is common in renal transplant recipients (RTRs), and is often managed by dose reduction of causative immunosuppressants, which may in turn increase the risk…2013 American Transplant Congress
Back to Bladder Drained Pancreas Transplantation Alone: A Single Centre Experience
Controversy remains whether there is still a role for bladder drainage (BD) in pancreas transplantation. Compared to excellent results in simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation, pancreas…2013 American Transplant Congress
Protects Effect of HIF-1α in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Mitochondrial Injury, The
