Non-Invasive Proteomics to Detect Biomarkers for Kidney Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Non-invasive biomarkers are needed for monitoring patients to predict early acute rejection (AR). We hypothesized that protein biomarkers released from rejecting allograft tissues can…2018 American Transplant Congress
Reliability of Deceased Donor Procurement Biopsy Images at the Time of Kidney Allocation
Histological findings of procurement deceased-donor kidney biopsies contribute to organ allocation decisions. Representative images of pathology on biopsy slides are often uploaded into United Network…2018 American Transplant Congress
Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies as Markers of Post Transplant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Proteinuria
Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Background:Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) is highly expressed on the endothelial cells and podocytes, which play an essential role in the maintenance of vascular…2018 American Transplant Congress
Complex Combined Thoracic/liver Transplant: A Seven Year Experience
Liver and Pancreas Transplant, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: While rare, combined Thoracic/Liver transplants are employed with increasing frequency. Consistent data regarding the technical conduct, patient selection and outcomes in this highly complex…2018 American Transplant Congress
Intragraft MicroRNA Transcriptome of Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts
1Weill Cornell Medicine, New York; 2Rockefeller University, New York.
BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNA) are master regulators of gene expression and are potential therapeutic targets. Intragraft miRNA transcriptome of acute antibody rejection (AMR) of human kidney allograft…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Allograft Biopsy in Kidney Transplant Recipients with DGF – Call for an Individualized Approach
Transplant Surgery, Medstar Georgetown Transplant Institute, Washington, DC.
Introduction:With the use of potent induction and maintenance immunosuppressive therapy, routine early/protocol biopsy in DGF patients is questionable.AimThis study aimed to determine the incidence of…2018 American Transplant Congress
C4d Staining and Graft Survival in Renal Transplant Recipients
Nephrology and Transplant, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI.
Introduction: C4d staining in peritubular capillaries strongly correlates with presence of acute or chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Data on the significance of variable C4d…2017 American Transplant Congress
C5b-9 Deposition in Glomerular Capillaries Is Responsible for Poor Allograft Survival in Antibody-Mediated Rejection.
1University Hospital, Montpellier, France; 2Cancer Research Institute, Montpellier, France
Introduction: C4d (scare of C4 cleavage) deposition in peritubular capillaries (PTC), a marker of complement activation, is associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in kidney transplantation.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Immunosuppression Adherence After Kidney Transplant and Relationship to Allograft Histology.
Background: Loss of Medicare coverage for immunosuppression 3 years after kidney transplant may be associated with increased nonadherence. The goal of this study was to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Procurement Kidney Biopsy versus KDRI for Predicting Graft Survival.
Background: The kidney donor risk index (KDRI) incorporates 10 variables to match organ quality with expected recipient survival. Though controversial, procurement biopsies are often performed…
