Comparison of Gene Expression in Heart Beating and Non Heart Beating Donor Kidney, A
Experimental Surgery, Erasmus University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, Netherlands
The superior long-term survival of kidneys from living donors (LD) compared to brain death (BD) or non heart beating (NHB) donors is now well established.…2013 American Transplant Congress
T-Cell Mediated Rejections Do Not Induce De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies in Non-Sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Longitudinal Cohort Analysis
Humoral allo-immunity is a major determinant of kidney graft survival, and de novo donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (dnDSA) are associated with an increased risk of…2013 American Transplant Congress
MICA A5.1 Mutation Is an Immunodominant Factor, Promoting MICA Expression on Graft Endothelial Cells and MICA Alloimmunisation, and a Potential Risk Factor for Transplant Survival
Clinical findings suggest a role for donor MHC class I-related chain A (MICA) antigens expressed on transplant endothelial cells (ECs) in the alloimmune response. However,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Monitoring of Soluble Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor (suPAR) in Patients with Focal Segmental Glomeruloscerosis (FSGS) Undergoing Kidney Transplantation
Dpt. of Nephrology, Charité Universitaetsmedizin Campus Mitte, Berlin, Germany
Background: suPAR was shown to be elevated in approximately 60% of patients (pts) with primary FSGS. Increased levels before transplantation were predictive of FSGS recurrence,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Impact of an ACE Insertion/Deletion and Kinin B2 Receptor +9/-9 Polymorphisms in the Prognosis of Renal Transplantation
UNIFESP, Sao Paulo, Brazil; UNIFESP, Sao Paulo, Brazil; USP, Sao Paulo, Brazil
There is a consensus in the scientific literature that supports the importance of the kallikrein kinin and renin angiotensin systems in renal physiology, but notably…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…
