Low Serum 3-Methyl Histidine Level is Associated with Peripheral Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Introduction:3-methyl histidine (3MH) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and an index of muscle breakdown. Subclinical protein malnutrition is an independent association with arterial stiffness. The…2018 American Transplant Congress
Changes in Carotid Arterial Inflammation in De Novo Renal Transplant Recipients as Assessed by 18F-FDG PET/CT
Internal Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Inflammatory activity of the arterial wall can be assessed by measuring 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake with positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT). Improvement in vascular…2017 American Transplant Congress
Quantitative Analysis of 10-Year Surveillance Renal Allograft Biopsies.
Introduction. Assessing late histologic changes in renal allografts is important to investigating etiology and devising treatment. Compared to the usual semi-quantitative reading by a renal…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk Analysis of Patients with Proven Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Liver Transplant.
Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX
ObjectivesCoronary artery disease is increasing common in liver transplant (LT) candidates due to the aging population. We sought to longitudinally evaluate of outcomes of LT…2017 American Transplant Congress
Serum Phosphorus and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes, Graft Failure, or Total Mortality in Chronic Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Mild hyperphosphatemia may be present in chronic kidney transplant recipients [KTRs]. Limited data are available from large, multicenter KTR cohorts assessing the potential relationships between…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Detects High Prevalence of Hypertension in Recipients of Non-Renal Transplants.
Long-term survival after pediatric non-renal organ and stem cell transplantation (tx) has become increasingly better. The optimal post-transplant care therefore goes beyond organ-specific issues and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Replicative Senescence and Arteriosclerosis After Kidney Transplantation.
BackgroundReplicative senescence is associated with telomere shortening. In native kidneys, obtained prior to transplantation, we recently described and validated a significant association between shorter intrarenal…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Intrarenal Resistive Index Measured After Transplantation Is Determined by the Upstream Vascular System of the Recipient.
Objective: We recently demonstrated that the renal resistive index, measured after renal transplantation, reflects recipient characteristics, like recipient age and central hemodynamics, and not so…2016 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Vascular Lesions in Living Donor Renal Transplant Implant Biopsies.
INTRODUCTION: Nephrosclerosis is often associated with pathological injury to kidneys resulting from chronic high blood pressure and/or aging, and may predict the progression of decline…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rituximab Induction in Cardiac Transplantation Is Associated with Accelerated Coronary Artery Vasculopathy: CTOT11.
On Behalf of the CTOT11 Consortium, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, MA.
PurposeThe NIH-funded study CTOT11: Prevention of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy Using Rituximab (RIT) Therapy in Cardiac Transplantation, was a randomized clinical trial in non-sensitized primary heart…
