Cost-Effectiveness of Hand-Assisted Retroperitoneoscopic Versus Standard Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: A Randomized Study
Background: Live kidney donation has a clear economical benefit over cadaveric transplantation and dialysis. When compared with mini-incision open donor nephrectomy, laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN)…2013 American Transplant Congress
C4d Staining Is an Independent Risk Factor of Graft Loss for Renal Allograft Failure in Patients with Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection
BackgroundC4d positive staining as mandatory in acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is controversial. Predictive prognosis value of C4d positive staining in AMR remains incompletely studied. We…2013 American Transplant Congress
Determining Threshold Immunosuppressant Adherence Levels To Reduce Graft Failure Risk among Adult Renal Transplant Recipients
PURPOSE: Prior studies have speculated an immunosuppressant therapy (IST) adherence “threshold” may exist below which renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are at increased risk of graft…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lung Cancer Following Kidney Transplant: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes
ABSTRACTA 1.5-fold increased incidence of lung cancer has been noted in patients after kidney transplantation (KT). Risks factors and clinical outcomes have not been previously…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of Belatacept (CTLA4-Ig) on B Cells Phenotype in Renal Transplant Recipients
IntroductionPhase III clinical studies have shown that upon Belatacept (CTLA4-Ig) treatment, renal allograft function and anti-HLA immunization are improved compared to anticalcineurin. Here, we analyzed…2013 American Transplant Congress
Multiplicative-Regression Model for Relative Survival To Compare the Effect of Factors Associated with the Time to Graft Failure between First and Second Renal Transplant, A
Background. This is established today that second renal transplant recipients (STR) and first renal transplant recipients (FTR) have close outcomes. However, to our knowledge, the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Association between TGFBR2 Gene Polymorphism (rs2228048, Asn389Asn) and Acute Rejection in Korean Kidney Transplantation Recipients
Nephrology, Inje University, Busan, Republic of Korea
Transforming growth factor-Β (TGF-Β) signaling transduction initiates TGF-Β activation, resulting in activation of TGF-Β receptor II (TGFBR2). Any quantitative and qualitative changes in TGFBR2 are…2013 American Transplant Congress
Minimum Pre-Liver Transplant Creatinine as a Predictor of Post-Transplant Renal Insufficiency
Introduction: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score results in patients with often reversible renal insufficiency (RI) undergoing liver transplant and it is difficult to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Waitlist Body Mass Index Changes on the Outcome after Liver Transplantation, The
Visceral and Transplant Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland
Background: Obesity is associated with poor health outcomes in the general population, but the evidence surrounding the effect of body mass index (BMI) on post-liver…2013 American Transplant Congress
Preemptive Desensitization among Sensitized Renal Recipients Improves Graft Survival Despite Posttransplant DSA Persistance
Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University Hospitals, Richmond, VA
Background. We have shown 70% of DSA+ patients lose all DSAs within 12 months and rarely have chronic rejection whereas the remaining 30% show DSA…
