Outcomes of Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation from DCD Organ Donors
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC; Clinical Trials and Consulting Services, Cincinnati, OH
Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) is being performed with greater frequency in the United States. Due to the shortage of available donors, organs obtained after cardiac…2013 American Transplant Congress
Small Donor Size Adversely Impact Kidney Allograft Function Following Living Donor Kidney Transplant
Background: We wanted to assess the impact of donor size and donor to recipient size mismatch on kidney allograft function following living donor kidney transplant.Methods:…2013 American Transplant Congress
Determinants of Medication Misunderstanding and Non-Adherence among Kidney and Liver Transplant Recipients
OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for medication non-nadherence and misunderstanding among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients; and examine…2013 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant HLA Immunization in Kidney Transplant Recipients Is Characterized by an Activated Peripheral B Cell Phenotype and High Serum Levels of BAFF
Purpose. Our objective was to provide the first precise study of peripheral B cell phenotype and BAFF serum level in relation with pre-transplant HLA immunization.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Fate of 535 Renal Allografts Retrieved from Donors after Cardiac Death and Risk Factors Affecting Long-Term Graft Survival (Single Center Experience during Three Decades), The
Introduction: The kidneys procured from deceased donors in donation after cardiac death (DCD) hold great potential to expand the donor pool but have not yet…2013 American Transplant Congress
Effect of EGF and FSP1 Targeting of Nanoparticle Delivery of IL-10 and GM-CSF Following Acute Kidney Injury, The
Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL; LNK Chemsolutions, Lincoln, NE

Phenotype and Functionality of BKV-Specific T Cells Are Differently Affected by Distinct Immunosuppressive Drugs
Background: Immunosuppression of kidney allograft recipients is currently the indispensable method to avoid graft rejection. Nevertheless, suppression of the cellular immunity is an important risk…2013 American Transplant Congress
Re-Wiring the Molecular Circuitry of the AlloGraft To Promote Tolerance
Garvan Institute, Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia
Presentation of graft-derived antigens with correct co-stimulation drives the allo-immune response. Conversely, in the absence of these factors graft-specific tolerance may result. For DC’s, the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Graft Survival Retrieved from Donors after Cardiac Death Have Been Significantly Improved in These Two Decades Although the Procurement Technique Remains Unchanged during the Three Decades
Introduction: Since 1979, 535 kidneys were retrieved from 270 DCD donors at our center, using in situ regional cooling technique. In this study, the posttransplant…2013 American Transplant Congress
Antithymocytes Globulines and Immune Senescence in Renal Transplant Patients
Background: CD4 T cell reconstitution after antithymocytes globulins (ATG) is dependent on pre-transplant thymic function and persistent ATG-induced CD4 T cell lymphopenia is associated with…
