Predictive Value of Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Tools in Kidney Transplantation
Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following kidney transplantation. Many cardiovascular risk screening tools have been developed, but they have never…2015 American Transplant Congress
Hyperuricemia Takes a Toll in Graft Function, Left Ventricular Diameters and Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Serum uric acid (UA) levels correlate with many recognized…2015 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy and Safety of Once-Daily Everolimus With Minimized Once-Daily Tacrolimus After Liver Transplantation
Background: The everolimus (EVR) pharmacokinetic profile allows for its once daily (OD) administration. We tested the efficacy and safety of a combination schedule of OD-EVR…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Best Regimen With Rituximab for ABO-Incompatible Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Rituximab made a great progress on outcomes of ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplantation (ABO-I LDLT). Although Japanese multicenter study group published efficacy and safety of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Treatment Patterns, Healthcare Resource Utilization, and Costs in Kidney Transplant Recipients Using a Fixed Source Regimen of Tacrolimus Vs. a Variable Source Regimen
BackgroundTacrolimus (TAC) has evolved to be the foundation of kidney transplant immunosuppressant protocols. However, the implications of switching between multiple formulations of TAC have not…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunomodulation of Human T Cells by a Novel RALG Preparation With Higher Specificity Toward Activating T Cells
Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Current induction therapy using thymoglobulin (ATG) results in nonspecific T cell depletion. We have generated a polyclonal rabbit anti-human leukocyte globulin (RALG) by immunizing rabbits…2015 American Transplant Congress
Thymic Transplantation to Determine Mechanisms of Thymic Involution: Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor and Forkhead Box Protein N1 in the Thymus Play a Role in Maintaining the Juvenile Thymus
Thymic involution has long been associated with age-related changes of the immune system, although the cause remains unclear. We have extensively studied the role of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunodeficiency Assessment in Pediatric Intestinal Failure Patients
Intestinal failure (IF) is a clinical condition for which intestinal transplantation may be indicated. Patients without enteral autonomy have an increased risk of malnutrition which…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Immunologic Risk Factors Associated With Donor-Specific Antibody (DSA) Formation Following Renal Transplantation
Background: De novo DSA formation is emerging as an important risk factor for adverse graft outcomes following renal transplantation. Specific pretransplant risk factors for DSA…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Medication Regimen Complexity Over Time Following Heart Re-Transplantation
Medication regimen complexity (MRC) includes many characteristics of a drug regimen. Previously, we showed that MRC is high and persists over time after primary heart…
