Utility of Procalcitonin in Differentiating Infection from Rejection in Pediatric Liver-Small Bowel Transplant Patients
Background: Procalcitonin (PCT) has been shown to be an effective biomarker for bacterial sepsis. Its utility has also been noted in post liver transplant patients.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Antibody-Mediated Injury Is the Major Cause of Late Kidney Allograft Failure
DeKAF is NIH-funded multicenter observational study of late kidney graft failure with over 4500 recs enrolled from 2006-10. The Cross-Sectional cohort (CS, N=559) includes recs…2013 American Transplant Congress
Colorectal Surgery after Kidney Transplant: Characteristics of Early vs. Late Post-Transplant Interventions
Aim: We hypothesized that kidney transplant recipients undergoing colorectal surgery <1 year of transplant would have more complications than those >1 year post-transplant.Methods: We reviewed…2013 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Intragraft DSA as Determinant of Antibody-Mediated Lesions and Poor Graft Outcome
Allograft pathology, antibody-tissue interaction as demonstrated by C4d deposition, and serologic evidence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are the cardinal diagnostic features of antibody-mediated lesions (AML)…2013 American Transplant Congress
Immunoregulatory Effects of Bone Marrow and Adipose Derived Stem Cells – An In Vitro Comparison
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
Background: Direct comparison of the immunoregulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BMSCs) and adipose tissue (ASCs) has not been performed to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Interactive Web-Based Patient Portal for the Evaluation of Potential Kidney Transplant Recipients
Kidney Transplant Service, UCSF, San Francisco, CA
Introduction: UCSF implemented newly available information technology to increase access to patients, improve communication, and expedite patient work-up. Using a validated(1-2) web-based software platform (BREEZE…2013 American Transplant Congress
Proteinkinase C Epsilon Contributes to Impairment of Renal Blood Flow and Inflammation in Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI)
Background – Proteinkinase C (PKC) isoforms are invovled in several signaling pathways contributing to ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and acute transplant rejection. Here we investigated…2013 American Transplant Congress
RBC Transfusions Are Associated with HLA Allosensitization in Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: HLA sensitization remains a major barrier to successful kidney transplantation resulting in prolonged wait times, lower transplant rates, and decreased graft survival. This study…2013 American Transplant Congress
MicroRNA Profile Associated with Increased Graft Damage Post Liver Transplantation
Background: Variable graft injury severity post ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is observed post liver transplantation (LT). Graft function recovery and performance are linked to this…2013 American Transplant Congress
Complement Component 3 (C3) Participates in Induction of Myeloid Suppressor Cells
It was noted that liver transplants in mice are spontaneously accepted, but hepatocyte transplants acutely rejected, suggesting the immunoregulatory activities of liver non-parenchymal cells. We…
