Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Induces Release of Angiopoietin-2 from Human Grafts of Living and Deceased Donors
Recent insights suggest that endothelial cell (EC) activation plays a major role in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Interactions between ECs and pericytes via signaling molecules,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Composite Score at Time of Kidney Transplantation Predicts Graft Function
UVA, Charlottesville; VCU, Richmond
Background. No reliable scoring system is available to predict organ quality and outcomes. We aimed to identify a reliable composite scoring system to predict organ…2013 American Transplant Congress
Energy Status of Pig Donor Organs after Ischemia Is Independent of Donor Type
Background. Literature is controversial whether organs from living donors have a better graft function than brain dead and non-heart-beating donor organs. Success of transplantation has…2013 American Transplant Congress
Organ Function Preservation by the Combination Treatment of the OptImuM Dose of CalcineUrin Inhibitor and Mycophenolate Sodium in Kidney Recipients: OPTIMUM Study
Background. Introduction of the calcineurine inhibitors has significantly increased 1-year renal allograft survival, however, they have not extended long-term allograft survival. Here, we have hypothesized…2013 American Transplant Congress
Obesity and Liver Transplant Outcomes
Division of Liver Transplantation, Tampa General Medical Group, Tampa, FL
With the rising prevalence of obesity in the US, the proportion of liver transplant (LT) candidates who are obese (BMI >30) is expected to increase.…2013 American Transplant Congress
miRNA in Urinary Pellet Samples of Kidney Transplant Recipients as Diagnostic and Predictive Markers of Progression to Chronic Allograft Dysfunction
Background: A major obstacle in the management of kidney transplant recipients is a lack of non-invasive, cost-effective, specific biomarkers critically needed for monitoring graft performance…2013 American Transplant Congress
Preformed HLA Donor Specific Alloantibodies in African-Americans Increases Their Risk of Death after Liver Transplant
Aim: African American (AA) patients who receive Caucasian (CA) liver allografts have an increased risk of death compared to AA patients who receive AA liver…2013 American Transplant Congress
How To Estimate Kidney Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Mild to Moderate Kidney Impairment. – Comparison of eGFR Values between Creatinine-Based GFR Equation and Cystatin C-Based Equation for Japanese
Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan
[Background] Recently the number of renal transplantation has increased in Japan. To know how to assess renal function accurately for Japanese renal transplant recipients is…2013 American Transplant Congress
Elderly Patients with Cronic Renal Disease: Do They Deserve a Renal Transplant?
The number of elderly patients with chronic renal failure is increasing as the population ages. Kidney transplantation is a growing therapeutic option for this population.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Different Gene Families Encoding for Pro-Apoptotic and Anti-Apoptotic as Well as Genes Encoding for Oxidative Stress Induced Cell Damage in Organ Donation: An Animal Study
Literature is controversial about the influence of different gene families on the quality of organs after brain death as compared to living donation. In this…
