Human Thrombomodulin Regulates Complement Activation as Well as Coagulation in Xenoimmune Response
Introduction: Coagulation response is an important obstacle for a long-term xenograft survival. Thrombomodulin (TBM) has critical anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects as a component of the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of the Time-Dependent Effect of Blood Pressure on the Risk of Graft Failure in Kidney Transplant Recipients Using a Marginal Structural Model, An
Medicine (Nephrology), Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
Background: The relationship between blood pressure (BP) and kidney function, as well as their joint influence on graft failure, is complex. This study aims to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Preoperative Amino Acid Free Diet Protects Against Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, A
Background: Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious and common complication after liver surgery and transplantation. We previously showed that three days of preoperative…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of Single-Port Laparoscopy in Donor Right Hepatectomy for Living Donor Liver Transplantation
BackgroundLaparoscopic liver surgery has rapidly gained attention worldwide. Since 2008, we have used laparoscopic technique for the donor right hepatectomy in living-donor liver transplantation and…2013 American Transplant Congress
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
