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
Pattern of Utilization and Graft Outcomes of Patients Received Kidney Transplants from Deceased Donors < 4 Years, The
Kidneys from donors < 4 years remain underutilized because of the concerns of the recipient complications (bleeding, urine leak and graft thrombosis), and poor long-term…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Protein A-Immuno-Adsorption and Conventional Plasma Exchanges for Anti-HLA Desensitization
Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation, University Hospital, Saint-Etienne, France
Plasma exchanges therapy is traditionally part of anti-HLA desensitization strategies used in kidney transplantation. As compared to conventional techniques of plasma exchanges (PE) (plasma-centrifugation or…2013 American Transplant Congress
“Spontaneous” Reduction in Donor Specific Allo-Antibody (DSA) after Positive Cross Match Kidney Transplantation (+XMKTx) Is Associated with Improved Histology
Introduction.In a recent study (AJT,2011;11:2405), eculizumab decreased the incidence of early antibody mediated rejection(AMR) after +XMKTx. Post-transplant plasma exchange (PE) was not routinely used thus…2013 American Transplant Congress
Effect of the Purinergic Inhibitor Oxidized-ATP in a Model of Islet Allograft Rejection
The lymphocytic ionotropic purinergic P2X receptors (P2X1R-P2X7R, or P2Xs) sense the ATP, released during cell damage-activation, thus regulating T-cell activation. We aim to define the…2013 American Transplant Congress
CD8+TCR- Bone Marrow Facilitating Cells Induce Generation of IL-10-Producing Type 1 Regulatory T Cells In Vitro: A Critical Role for DOCK2 and Cell-Contact
We recently reported induction of high levels of chimerism and donor-specific tolerance without GVHD in mismatched related and unrelated kidney transplant recipients through administration of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Backdating Waiting Time to Date of First Maintenance Dialysis Significantly Reduces Median Time To Transplant for Kidney Transplant Candidates with Long Pre-Waitlisting Dialysis Duration
Insurance type and minority status are associated with large disparities in the duration of pre-waitlisting dialysis (PWLD) among candidates for kidney transplantation. To partially redress…
