Proximal Tubular Dysfunction Is Common After the First Year of Kidney Transplantation
Background: After the initial period of kidney transplantation, the prevalence of proximal tubular dysfunction (PTD) and its consequences are unknown. The aim of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Outcomes of Second Transplantation in Recurrent IgA Nephropathy
BackgroundRecurrence of original glomerulonephritis is an important cause of graft loss. In some studies, histologic recurrence of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) occurs in 60% after 1st…2015 American Transplant Congress
A 10 Min “No-Touch” Time – Is It Enough in DCD? A DCD Animal Study
Introduction: DCD is under investigation due to the lack of human donor organs. Required times of cardiac arrest vary between 75 seconds and 27 min…2015 American Transplant Congress
Detection of Donor Specific HLA-Ab (DSA) Against Native HLA Molecules Expressed On Donor Cell Surface to Eliminate False Positive DSA in Luminex Single Antigen Beads (LMX-SAB)
Pathology, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA.
Introduction:The LMX-SAB has been extensively used for DSA virtual crossmatch (VXM) to predict actual crossmatch (AXM). The extreme pH and harsh chemical reaction conditions used…2015 American Transplant Congress
Serum Creatinine Is Most Predictive of Graft Loss in Late Antibody Mediated Rejection
Comprehensive Transplant Institute, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Development of acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is associated with graft loss and can occur both early (< 3 months) and late (> 3 months)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of HLA Antibody Monitoring After Kidney Transplantation
The impact of donor specific antibodies (DSA) and optimal therapeutic intervention for DSA in kidney transplant (KT) recipients has been reported with variable results. We…2015 American Transplant Congress
Longitudinal eGFR Modelling to Understand Rates of eGFR Decline in Renal Transplantation in the United Kingdom
