We consider the benefits and challenges of fielding large-scale living donor liver and multi-organ exchanges, from a computational and economic point of view. Kidney exchange,…2013 American Transplant Congress
6 Minute Walk Distance To Measure Functional Capacity Early after Liver Transplantation, The
BACKGROUND: Functional impairment is common among patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and improvement is expected following liver transplantation (LT). The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD)…2013 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Serum IgG Reactivity to Apoptotic Cells Correlates with HLA Reactivity and Kidney Graft Loss
Pre-existing graft-reactive antibodies in patient sera have long been associated with rejection and graft loss. While most studies have focused on characterizing HLA-specific abs, the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Donor Management Parameters and Organ Yield: Outcomes from a Single Organ Procurement Organization
Transplant Division, Dept of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN
Objective:Certain donor management parameters (DMP) have been established at some organ procurement organizations (OPO) to guide management decisions to optimize donor organ transplantation. This study…2013 American Transplant Congress
Outcome of ABO-Incompatible Living Donor Liver Retransplantation
[Introduction]Liver retransplantation is required in patients with irreversible graft failure. Because the chance of deceased donor liver transplantation is still limited in Japan, many patients…2013 American Transplant Congress
Expansion and Differentiation of B Cell Clones in Rejected Kidney Grafts
Clusters of B cell infiltrates are often observed in kidney allografts. Several independent studies have correlated the presence of these clusters with poor graft outcome.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Memory of Transplantation Tolerance Dominates over a Memory of Rejection
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
Immunological memory has evolved to protect against repeated infections, but it also develops to other foreign antigens and thus is a liability for transplantation. Early…2013 American Transplant Congress
Knockdown of Intra-Islet IKKβ by Spherical Nucleic Acid Nanoparticle Conjugates Prevents Host Cytokine-Induced Injury and Enhances Islet Graft Survival
Islet transplantation is a challenging treatment for type-1 diabetic patients. This is due, in part, to the deleterious effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines generated by early…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lung Transplant with Allografts from Donors with a History of Smoking: A Nationwide Analysis of Usage and Outcomes
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
Lung transplant with allografts from donors with a history of smoking is controversial; however, this practice has never been evaluated on a national level in…2013 American Transplant Congress
