Do Donor Specific Antibodies Affect Graft Liver Outcomes after Living Donor Liver Transplantation?
Department of Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Background: Preformed circulating donor specific antibodies (DSAs) immunologically challenge vascular endothelium and the bile duct. However, the liver is an immune tolerant organ and can…2013 American Transplant Congress
Graft Infiltrating Foxp3 Tregs in Spontaneously Tolerant Renal A Allografts Express High Levels of CXCR3 and BLIMP-1
Background: Foxp3+Tregs have an essential role in allograft tolerance. Aim: To evaluate Foxp3+Tregs in the spontaneous tolerance of mouse renal allografts. Methods: A standard mouse…2013 American Transplant Congress
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) Identified in Human Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Kidney Biopsies Regulate Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR) and Renal Allograft Functional Status
Surgery, University of Miami, Miami, FL; Medicine, University of Miami, Miami, FL
Alterations of miRNA expression regulate the post-transcriptional expression of many target genes in allografts and thus likely help regulate alloreactive processes. We carried out a…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Pediatric En-Bloc Renal Allograft Growth and Function for Donors Less Than One Year of Age with Older Pediatric Donors
Urology, Western University, London, ON, Canada
Introduction: The use of pediatric en-bloc kidneys obtained from infant donors of very small size has previously been investigated. Some transplantation centers have under-utilized very…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Using Cystatin C Versus Creatinine in Pediatric Renal Transplant Patients
Purpose: Analyze the accuracy of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in pediatric renal transplant (Tx) patients (pts) using cystatin C, serum creatinine (SCr), and the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Increased Duration of Dual Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin Therapy for Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Post-Liver Transplantation Increases Sustained Virologic Response: A Retrospective Review
Aims: Hepatitis C–related cirrhosis is the leading indication for liver transplantation. HCV recurrence is almost universal, leading to advanced fibrosis in at least 30% of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Graft Function Measured by Transient Elastography in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Preliminary Results
Introduction: Liver stiffness (LS) measurement using transient elastography (TE) provide a non-invasive means of assessing liver fibrosis and are correlated to hepatic cholestasis. However, few…2013 American Transplant Congress
Divided Daily Prednisolone Dosing Reduces Hyperglycemia after Kidney Transplantation
The pharmacokinetics of prednisolone indicate that divided twice daily (BD) dosing would produce more even drug exposure and may improve glycemia compared with daily (QD)…2013 American Transplant Congress
Surveillance for Hyperglycemia Post Kidney Transplantation: Afternoon Glucose Superior to Conventional Tests in the First 6 Weeks
Optimal screening for hyperglycemia after kidney transplantation remains uncertain. As plasma glucose peaks 7-8 hours after prednisolone administration, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and oral glucose…2013 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Once-Daily Prolonged-Release Tacrolimus (Graceptor) in De Novo Kidney Transplantation
(Introduction)Graceptor (GCT) is a new formulation of tacrolimus (TRL), allows once-daily administration while showing similar efficacy and safety to the conventional Prograf (PGF), which is…
