Relationship Between Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Severity and Predicted DGF Risk
1Quark, Fremont; 2UCSF, SF; 3U of Barcelona, BCN, Spain.
Historically, dialysis required in the first post-transplant (TX) week has defined DGF. This incidence-based definition fails to discriminate between short versus long courses of dialysis…2015 American Transplant Congress

The OPTN implemented Share-35 in June 2013 to increase regional sharing. Organ Procurement Organization (OPO)-level changes in utilization subsequent to Share-35 have not previously been…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Intrapatient Variability and Mean Tacrolimus Levels in Renal Transplant Patients
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
IntroductionNonadherence (NA) to immunosuppressive medication and adherence to immunosuppressive protocols is a potent risk factor for rejection and graft loss, which can be both patient…2015 American Transplant Congress
B-Cell Tolerance to Donor Alloantigens
Pre-existing panel-reactive antibodies and development of donor-specific alloantibodies are known to play important roles in graft dysfunction and deterioration. Preventing and/or eliminating alloantibody responses would…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Precentage of Circulating CD16+ Monocytes Before Transplantation Are Associated With the Occurence of Acute Rejection
Introduction: Monocytes compose a neglected immune cell type in transplantation despite their contribution to antibody mediated rejection. We aimed to define the phenotypic and functional…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinicopathological Scenarios (CPS) Defined by Viremia, Creatinine and Histology in Polyomavirus Nephropathy Differ in 1st and 2nd (Follow-Up) Biopsy
Pathology and Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Studies of sequential kidney biopsies (KB) after the diagnosis of polyomavirus allograft nephropathy (PVN) are scarce and clinicopathological evolution of PVN poorly understood. In practice…2015 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of Subclinical Rejection Identified On Surveillance Biopsy May Prevent the Development of Chronic Alloimmune Injury
Imperial College Kidney and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Surveillance biopsies [SBx] are not universally performed following renal transplantation. In patients in whom protocol biopsies are performed, how best to manage subclinical rejection [SCR]…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Long-Term Prognosis of the Kidney Transplantation Using Comorbidity Score
Background: Comorbidity assessment is important to the informed interpretation of kidney allograft outcomes. Weights assigned to comorbidities to predict survival may vary based on the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transversal Observational Study On Recurrent and Late Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in Renal Transplantation (tx)
UTIs are common complications after kidney tx. The aim of this study was to define the potential predisposing factors and the possible impact on graf…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes Following Kidney Transplant With Low Level Positive Flow Cytometric Crossmatch
Introduction: Highly-sensitized kidney transplant (KTx) candidates have difficulty finding a negative crossmatch donor. KTx with low level positive crossmatch might be the next best option.…
