Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Complications in Recipients of Kidneys from Very Small Pediatric Donors
UC Davis Transplant Center, Sacramento, CA
Transplantation of kidneys from very small pediatric donors is associated with a high rate of surgical complications and graft loss. We examined our series of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplant Program Quality Index Which Accounts for Transplant Rate; the Power of Numbers!, A
Surgery/Transplantation, Hartford Hospital, Hartford, CT
It is unclear whether patients and grafts survival (PS and GS) rates alone are indices of Quality. Programs who cherry pick could have outstanding PS/GS…2013 American Transplant Congress
Humoral Rejection of Human Kidney Grafts Associates with Polyreactive Antibodies That Bind Apoptotic Cells and Activate Complement
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston; University Hospital of Parma, Parma, Italy
Antibody Mediated Rejection (AMR) is associated with a variety of graft-reactive antibodies following kidney transplant. To characterize these antibodies, we immortalized 107 B cell clones…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lung Allograft Tolerance in Non-Human Primates Via Establishment of Stable Mixed Hematopoietic Chimerism
Transplantation tolerance of kidney allografts has been achieved in both non-human primates (NHPs) and patients using a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen, costimulation blockade, and infusion of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Protective Effect of a FDA-Approved Intralipid on Kidney Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) resulting from the procedure of transplantation has a negative impact on both short- and long- time graft survival. Early activation of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Preliminary Psychometric Properties of a Measure of the Allocation of Responsibility for Health Management Tasks in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
Purpose: The shift in responsibility for health-related tasks from parents to adolescents is essential to the transition to adult care. This study reports the preliminary…2013 American Transplant Congress
Evidence for Decreased Cellular and Humoral Renal Allograft Rejection in Combined Liver-Kidney Transplants
Combined liver-kidney transplantation (CLKT) has been widely thought to have an immunoprotective effect on the kidney. However, detailed studies are lacking. The goal of this…2013 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin-Resistant mTORC1 Regulates Dendritic Cell B7-H1 Expression That Acts in Synergy with IL-1β To Promote Regulatory T Cell Induction
Introduction: The mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is targeted clinically with rapamycin (RAPA) to prevent allograft rejection. mTOR functions in two mTOR-containing complexes, – mTOR…2013 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcomes of Paired Kidney Exchange for Highly Sensitized Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: A local multicenter paired kidney exchange (PKE) was employed to facilitate identification of compatible donors for highly-sensitized recipients.Methods: Virtual crossmatching was used to identify…2013 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Donor Comorbidites on Patient Survival – Standard Criteria Donor Kidney Compared to Expanded Criteria Donor Kidney Transplantation
The Transplant Institute, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
Most studies of Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) kidney (K) transplantation confirm that recipients(R) of ECD K have improved survival compared with matched dialysis-treated patients. However,…
