Steroid Free Immunosuppression Protocol in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients Using Alemtuzumab: A Retrospective Single Center Study
Background: Steroid free immunosuppression is attractive in pediatric kidney transplantation (KTx). Aim of the present study is to examine the patient survival, graft survival, rate…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reduced Incidence of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus
BACKGROUND: CMV infection is associated with inferior long-term kidney transplant outcomes. This study compared the incidence of CMV infection/disease in de novo kidney transplant recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Blocking CD4 T Cell Helper Functions Improves Efficacy of ATG Treatment in Sensitized Transplant Recipients
Immunology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Antibody mediated lymphocyte depletion is used in clinical transplantation to improve graft function. While the presence of donor-reactive memory T cells is the primary rationale…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reciprocal Relationship Between Cytomegalovirus Infection and Graft Rejection in Intestinal/Multivisceral Transplantation: Impact on Survival and Ideal Immunosuppression Protocol
Transplant Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Background: Cytomegalovius (CMV) infection and graft rejection are opposing complications of isolated intestinal/multivisceral transplantation (IIT/MVT), a procedure requiring precise balance of immunosuppression. The aim of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Viral Prophylaxis Is Unnecessary in CMV Low Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Receive Lymphocyte Depleting Induction
Background: Both the international CMV consensus and AST guidelines recommend against the routine use of CMV prophylaxis in CMV D-/R- kidney transplant recipients (KTR), but…2015 American Transplant Congress

Duke University Hospital, Durham, NC.
BackgroundThe optimal dose of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction therapy in high immunological risk kidney transplantation (KTx) lacks consensus and the effect of dosing weight…2015 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy and Safety of Induction Therapy With Monoclonal Versus Polyclonal Antibodies in Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Last Five Years (2008-2013) in Our Institution
Nephrology, La Paz Hospital, Madrid, Spain.
Induction immunosuppression in renal transplantation is not clearly defined. We analyze the efficacy and safety of the used regimens at our institution in the last…2015 American Transplant Congress
Early Use of Anti-Lymphocyte Antibody in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Delayed Graft Function Can Produce Desirable Post-Transplant Results
Department of Transplantation Surgery, Yonsei University Health System, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Proper management of delayed graft function (DGF) is essential for successful post-transplant result in deceased donor kidney transplantation. We compared the effect of anti-lymphocyte antibody…
