Microvascular Inflammation without DSA or C4d: An Orphan Category in Banff Classification with Intense Capillaritis and Cytotoxic T-Cell Infiltration
*Purpose: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) associated with donor-specific HLA antibodies (DSA) is the leading cause of late allograft failure after kidney transplantation. Microvascular inflammation (MVI) without…2020 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Procurement Biopsy Technique Does Not Determine Histologic Accuracy
Medicine-Nephrology, Columbia University, New York, NY
*Purpose:Procurement biopsies (PBx) are commonly used to evaluate the quality of deceased donor kidneys (DDK). However, the validity of PBx biopsy interpretation has been questioned,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Time-Zero Histology Correlates with Donor Characteristics but Does Not Predict Short-Term Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation
University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Time-zero biopsies provide important information about baseline histology but their clinical utility compared to other non-invasive predictors is unclear. Our center performs universal time-zero…2020 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Skin Cancer – A Long Term Outcome of Immunosuppression in Renal Transplant Recipients Associated with the Usage of Azathioprine
*Purpose: The main cause of mortality in Kidney Transplant Recipient’s (KTRs) is malignancy. The cancer incidence is increased by treating with immunosuppressive agents and longer…2020 American Transplant Congress
Should Steatotic Livers Be Transplanted Into Pediatric Recipients?
*Purpose: Although steatotic livers are frequently transplanted in the adult population, they are not commonly transplanted in pediatric recipients. We questioned if the outcomes of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Temporal Trends in Utilization and Outcomes of Sclerotic Donor Kidneys in the United States
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Sclerotic donor kidneys (SDK, glomerulosclerosis ≥20% on biopsy) represent a possible expansion to the donor pool but are often discarded due to historical association…2020 American Transplant Congress
Hif-1a Expression Influences Recipient Clinical Outcomes in Liver Transplant Patients
Liver Transplant Surgery, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), an innate-immune dominated hepatocellular damage, is a risk factor for early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and rejection crises in liver transplantation…2020 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Everolimus and Reduced Calcineurin Inhibitors on Biopsy Proven BK Virus Associated Nephropathy
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is a clinically important entity that contributes to allograft loss in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors…2020 American Transplant Congress
Ikaros Regulates Macrophage Inflammation in Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: From Mouse-to-Human
1Liver Transplant Surgery, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 2NIEHS, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major risk factor for early allograft dysfunction and rejection episodes in liver transplantation (LT). The impact of Ikaros,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Interstitial Inflammation with Chronic Allograft Injury Best Predicts Graft Loss
Einstein-Montefiore Transplant Center, Bronx, NY
*Purpose: We aimed to identify clinical, serological and histopathological predictors of graft loss in kidney transplant recipients who underwent clinically indicated graft biopsies for worsening…
