CD40 Gene Silencing Prevents Warm Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury through Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Ischemia-reperfusion injury has been associated with the incidence of both acute and chronic rejection. Together with the alloimmunone responses it is one of the most…2013 American Transplant Congress
Tetrahydrobiopterin Prevents Brain Death Exacerbated Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Pancreatic Isografts
Brain death (BD) has been associated with an immunological priming of donor organs and is thought to exacerbate ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Recently we showed…2013 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Variation May Explain Disparities in Pediatric Waiting List Times for Hispanic Children
Body: Black and Hispanic children with end-stage renal disesase (ESRD) experience longer waiting times for deceased donor kidney transplantation. However, prior studies have not examined…2013 American Transplant Congress
Three-Year Safety and Efficacy Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Patients Randomized to Steroid Avoidance or Maintenance Steroids with Early Intensified Dosing of Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium: The INFINITY Study
Short-term intensified enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) dosing may facilitate steroid avoidance (SA) after kidney transplantation.Methods. De novo kidney transplant recipients at low immunological risk (PRA…2013 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Plasmapheresis on the Concentration of Soluble Urokinase Receptor (suPAR) in Patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
Department of Nephrology, Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Background: suPAR is elevated in patients (pts) with FSGS. Increased levels were associated with recurrence in transplanted kidneys. Previous studies suggested a causative role in…2013 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Analysis of MHC Class I-Like (MICA, HLA-E and EPCR) Genetic Diversity in Kidney Transplant Donors and Graft’s Endothelial Cell Phenotype
INSERM UMR1064, Nantes, France
Although, there is evidence for a role of MICA, HLA-E and EPCR in vascular transplant biology and immunology, genotyping is not routinely achieved and correlation…2013 American Transplant Congress
Differential Effects of the Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity in Lysing Human Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Introduction At present, the relative contribution of the innate and adaptive cytotoxic immunity to human renal tubular epithelial cell injury (TECs) remains poorly defined. Cells…2013 American Transplant Congress
Measuring Kidney Patients' Motivation To Pursue Living Donor Kidney Transplant: Development of Stage of Change, Decisional Balance and Self-Efficacy Measures
University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI; Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO
Educational interventions that increase patient motivation to pursue living donor kidney transplant (LDKT), positive attitudinal change, and self-efficacy have been shown to increase LDKT rates,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Pretransplant FGF23 Titer Predicts Hypercalcemia at 6month Post Transplant Recipients
Kidney Disease Center, Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya, Japan
(Background) Recently graft survival of kidney transplant recipients is longer than before,so it is important to manage arteriosclerosis including calcium(Ca)/phosphorus(P) metabolism.(Aim)We examined how effective preemptive…
