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
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…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pharmacokinetics of Mycophenolic Acid Following Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium Administration in Chinese Renal Transplant Recipients
MyERA Study Group, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Mycophenolic acid (MPA), active component of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), is the most commonly used immunosuppressant in renal transplant recipients…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Combination of Area under Curve of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate for 2 Years and Annual Rate Change of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Predicts Long-Term Graft Survival in Kidney Transplants
Improvement of short-term outcomes in kidney transplant (KT) has required clinical trials to evaluate long-term hard outcomes for validation of new therapies. However, because of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Improving Prediction of Post-Transplant Death and Graft Loss with Expanded Clinical Data Collection
US transplant centers are graded for patient and graft survival of their recipients based on comparison to risk-adjusted expectations using elements captured in the national…2018 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Noninvasive and Mechanistically-Informative Biomarkers Predictive of Reversal of Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR) in Kidney Allografts
1University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; 2Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City, NY.
Objective: We determined whether urinary cell mRNAs predict response to anti-rejection therapy in kidney allograft recipients with Banff grade IA or higher ACR biopsies.Methods: We…
