An 8-Gene Expression Assay in Peripheral Blood for Diagnosis of Antibody-Mediated Rejection after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Antibody-mediated rejection is a leading cause of graft failure after kidney transplantation. The diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection is made by combining assessment of circulating…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of KDPI on Post Transplant Kidney Function: Intercept versus Slope. A Single Center Study
*Purpose: We evaluated the impact of Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) on post-transplant renal function and graft survival.*Methods: Between January-2013 and December- 2017, a total…2019 American Transplant Congress
Comparison between Urine and Blood NGAL for Early Prediction of Delayed Graft Function in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China Hospital, Chengdu, China
*Purpose: Neutrophil gelatinase-assoicated lipocalin (NGAL) appears to be a promising proximal tubular injury biomarker for early prediction of delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant…2019 American Transplant Congress
Mycophenolic Acid Area under the Curve Monitoring via Limited Sampling Strategy in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: The study aim was to investigate exposure to mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), after pediatric orthotopic heart transplantation (pOHT).…2019 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Mycophenolate Mofetil Exposure in Renal Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is the most commonly prescribed immunosuppressant following transplantation in the United States. However, the occurrence of MMF therapy-related adverse events including…2018 American Transplant Congress
Discriminative Accuracy of Physician Assessments of Kidney Transplant Candidate Function by Candidate Age, Sex, and Race
Background: Clinical assessments of patient health status are integral in kidney transplant (KT) waiting list management. Few data exist on the whether the accuracy of…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Combined Formula to Direct Optimal Immunosuppressive Drug Exposure in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: The most widely used maintenance immunosuppressive combination after kidney transplantation is tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolic acid (MPA). The utility of therapeutic drug monitoring for…2018 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept and Tacrolimus Corticosteroid-Free Regimens Lead to Elevated Mycophenolic Acid Exposure at 1 and 3 Months after Kidney Transplantation
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is generally administered as a fixed dose. Studies have shown a relationship between MPA exposure (MPAAUC) but no data evaluates this relationship…2018 American Transplant Congress
Development of Optimal Simplified Equation for Estimation of Mycophenolic Acid Exposure Following Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium Administration in Chinese Renal Transplant Recipients
MyERA Study Group, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Limited sampling strategies (LSS) aids in overcoming the complexity of extensive PK sampling and supporting the calculation of mycophenolic acid (MPA) exposure. This study…2018 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Multiple Linear Regression Limited Sampling Strategies for Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Although multiple linear regression-based limited sampling strategies (LSS) have been published for enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium none have been evaluated for prediction of subsequent mycophenolic…
