Five Year Graft Survival and Delayed Graft Function Predicted by Pre-Existent Renal Damage
Organs derived from deceased brain dead (DBD) donors show worse function and more acute rejection episodes than those from living donors (LD). Brain death induces…2013 American Transplant Congress
Bone Strength: A New Approach in Diagnosis of Bone Mineral Disease in Kidney Transplant Patients
Introduction: Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the most widely diagnostic technique used to assess bone mineral disease (BMD) in kidney transplant (KT) patients. It is…2013 American Transplant Congress
Enhancement of Cardiovascular Differentiation Induced by Leptin in Embryonic Stem Cells
Surgery and Regenerative Medicine Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Leptin promotes endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and angiogenesis in adult blood vessels during wound healing. Leptin also regulates the function of adult cardiomyocytes. To investigate…2013 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes Following Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: An ANZDATA Analysis
Declining rates of acute rejection (AR) and an apparent dissociation between acute rejection incidence and 1 year graft survival have raised questions as to the…2013 American Transplant Congress
IL28B Polymorphisms Influence Cytomegalovirus Viremia in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
CHUV, Lausanne; , Basel; , Zurich; , Bern; , St Gallen; , Geneva, Switzerland; , Edmonton, Canada
Background. Polymorphisms nearby IL28B have been associated with reduced spontaneous or treatment-associated HCV clearance, but the influence of theses polymorphisms on cytomegalovirus (CMV) is not…2013 American Transplant Congress
Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin Induction Therapy Induces Donor-Specific HeliosnegFOXP3pos Regulatory T Cells in Kidney Transplant Patients
Introduction: Repopulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) after rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) induction therapy in kidney transplant patients occurs via either thymopoiesis or homeostatic proliferation.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lymphotoxin Receptor Signaling Regulates Tolerogenic Functions of Fibroblastic Reticular Cells in the Lymph Node
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Background: Costimulatory blockade with anti-CD40L mAb plus donor specific splenocyte transfusion (DST) induces alloantigen specific tolerance. Tolerance depends on proper cell interactions and signaling in…2013 American Transplant Congress
Epidemiology and Prevention Approaches for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Disease in CMV-Seropositive Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients: Results from a Multicenter, Prospective, Cohort Study (OPERA Study)
Background: Although much is known about the incidence and prevention strategies in CMV-seronegative KT recipients, there is comparatively little information on these issues in CMV-seropositive…2013 American Transplant Congress
Early Bacterial Infections in Simultaneous Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation: Impact of Preservation Fluid Contamination
Contamination of preservation fluid (PF) has been associated with donor-transmitted infection in renal transplantation. Despite the infectious morbidity in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT), the role…2013 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Long-Term Pretransplant Dialysis Was Not Noted on the Survival of Renal Grafts from DCD Donors
Introduction: Because of worldwide organ shortage, the average waiting period for a cadaveric renal graft is about 15 years in Japan. Therefore, recipients tend to…
