Impact of Deceased Donor Intensive Care Unit Management Parameters on Early Liver Graft Function
Transplant Division, Dept of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN
Objective:The Indiana Organ Procurement Organization (IOPO) has adopted deceased donor intensive care unit (ICU) management parameters to optimize placement of transplant organs. It is unknown…2013 American Transplant Congress
Prospective, Iterative, Phased, Trial of Proteasome Inhibitor-Based Desensitization in Highly Sensitized Renal Transplant Candidates, A
Substantive prospective trials of proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based desensitization (DS) have not been reported. This study prospectively evaluated PI-based DS in highly HLA sensitized kidney transplant…2013 American Transplant Congress
Dissecting the Contribution of Cross-Reactivity to the Preformed T Cell Response to Donor-Alloantigen in HIV+ Kidney and Liver Transplant Patients
Department of Surgery, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
Background: Despite immunodeficiency of CD4+ T cells, HIV+ kidney and liver transplant patients experience higher rejection rates compared to HIV- patients. Most of the rejection…2013 American Transplant Congress
Crossmatch Positive Liver Transplantation: Role of Underlying Liver Disease
Significance of positive crossmatch in liver transplantation (LT) remains unclear. We evaluated the role of flow cytometry crossmatch (CM) in 1000 consecutive LT with a…2013 American Transplant Congress
Creatinine (Creat) and Cystatin C (CysC) Based Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Estimating Equations Are More Precise Than Creatinine-Only-Based Equations in Former Living Kidney Donors
Background: The application of GFR estimating equations and classification schema for chronic kidney disease (CKD) has inadvertently led to labeling of some former living kidney…2013 American Transplant Congress
Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR) Mismatches and KIR-HLA-C Interactions Do Not Affect Short Term Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation
Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) matching is an important factor in long term graft survival in kidney transplantations. Natural Killer (NK) cells with their MHC recognizing…2013 American Transplant Congress
Increasing Resistance in Gramnegative Bacilli Causing Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Two Cohorts of Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients: An Emerging Problem
Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain
BackgroundUTI is the most common infection following KT. The increasing resistance in gramnegative bacilli could have an special impact on this population.MethodsTwo cohorts were followed…2013 American Transplant Congress
Early Protocol Biopsies Can Identify Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Sensitized Patients
Renal Transplant Service, Hospital das Clinicas University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil
HLA sensitized patients are at risk for antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Our purpose was to evaluate the importance of early protocol biopsies. From Jul/2010 to Jun/2012,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Acellular Ex Vivo Liver Perfusion (NEVLP): Development of a New Method for the Storage, Assessment, and Repair of Marginal Liver Grafts
We compared the novel normothermic acellular ex vivo liver perfusion (NEVLP) with conventional cold static organ preservation for livers retrieved after cardiac death.Methods: Pig livers…2013 American Transplant Congress
Vasculopathic Risk Factors for Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as the need for dialysis within the first week following kidney transplantation. DGF is a major risk factor…
