Recipient Antibiotics Pretreatment Protects Liver Transplants from Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Prostaglandin E2: From Bench-to Bedside
Surgery, Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: We and others have reported on benefits of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress modulation and autophagy enhancement to mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in orthotopic liver…2019 American Transplant Congress
Timing and Donor-Specific Antibodies, but Not C4d Deposition, Determine Leukocyte Infiltration in Renal Allograft Biopsies with the Histological Picture of Antibody-Mediated Rejection
*Purpose: Diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection following kidney transplantation can be challenging, given the limited specificity of individual histological parameters and time-dependent occurrence of histological confounders.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Incidence and Predictors of Post-Kidney Biopsy (KBx) Bleeding in Liver Transplant (LT) Candidates with Renal Dysfunction
*Purpose: Pre-LT kidney biopsy is seldom performed in LT candidates with renal dysfunction and/or proteinuria partially due to the limited information regarding KBx bleeding. We…2019 American Transplant Congress
Recipient TIM4 Expression is Essential for Hepatocellular Function in Liver Transplantation
Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major risk factor of early graft dysfunction and predisposes to rejection in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Previous studies…2019 American Transplant Congress
Microsteatosis in Livers from Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) Donors is Associated with Inferior Graft and Patient Survival Following Liver Transplantation (LTX)
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: The current theory is that severe macrosteatosis (MaS) (>50%) in livers recovered from donation after brain death (DBD) donors leads to increased rates of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Comparing Antibody-Mediated Rejection with or without Detectable DSA: Similar Pathology and Similar Poor Prognosis
*Purpose: Banff guidelines require the detection of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in addition to microvascular inflammation (MVI) for a diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), but MVI…2019 American Transplant Congress
Replication of Diagnostic Biomarkers Using Orthogonal State-of-the-Art Technologies
*Purpose: The failure to reproduce scientific findings (McNutt M. Science 2014;343:229, Baker M. Nature 2016;53:452) has brought to the forefront the need for replication studies…2019 American Transplant Congress
Trimming the Fat?: Optimizing Utilization of Liver Allografts with Macrosteatosis >30% in Recipients with MELD Scores <35
*Purpose: Macrosteatosis (MaS) >30% in liver allografts has been associated with increased risk of primary non-function and poor graft survival. This study assesses the influence…2019 American Transplant Congress
Association of Histological Findings in Renal Graft Biopsy with Non-Adherence to Immunosuppressive Treatment
*Purpose: Non-adherence to immunosuppressive treatment after renal transplantation is a frequent issue, but the magnitude of its impact has been debated. It is unknown whether…2019 American Transplant Congress
Correlation between Gene Expression and Histology in Transbronchial Lung Transplant Biopsies
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Transbronchial lung transplant biopsies (TBBx) are limited by non-specific histologic lesions and suboptimal interobserver reproducibility. Gene expression offers a potentially more precise, objective and…
