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…2017 American Transplant Congress
Utility of Electron Microscopy in Kidney Transplant Biopsies.
1LSUHSC, New Orleans, LA; 2Children's Hospital, New Orleans, LA
Background: Banff 2013 criteria recommends performing ultra-structural studies with electron microscopy (EM) in most kidney transplant (KT) biopsies if the technology is available. We aimed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identifying the Specific Causes and the Determinants of Outcome in Kidney Recipients with Transplant Glomerulopathy: A Multicenter Study.
BackgroundUnderstanding the specific causes of TG and its long-term consequences at population scale is lacking.MethodsThis study includes all kidney allograft biopsies performed between 2004 and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor Body Mass Index and Utilization of Liver Biopsy: An Evaluation of National Practices and Organ Utilization.
Background: As the prevalence of obesity in America increases, so has the proportion of donors with elevated body mass index (BMI). While graft steatosis >30%…2017 American Transplant Congress
Correlation of Donor Clinical and Histopathological Characteristics with Graft Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: There is lack of consensus in the perceived accuracy of frozen biopsy interpretation. Interobserver variability in assessment of pre-implantation biopsies limits its value to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Utility of Concomitant Biopsy in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Identification of Rejection of Pancreas and Kidney.
Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, AZ
Background: In simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant (SPKTx) recipients, animal studies suggest concordant rejection rates of 88% (ref: Gruessner et al,1994). Limited information is available…2017 American Transplant Congress
Reliability of Donor Kidney Biopsies from Time of Organ Recovery Compared to Immediate Post-Reperfusion Biopsies.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Frozen section or rapid permanent biopsies of donor kidneys are frequently obtained for higher risk kidneys. We sought to investigate agreement between the procurement donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Safety of Percutaneous Pancreas Allograft Biopsy in Enteric Drained Pancreas Transplants.
Nephrology and Hypertension, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH
Background: Pancreas allograft biopsy (Bx) is the gold standard in diagnosing allograft rejection. The safety of this procedure has been controversial, thus limiting its widespread…2017 American Transplant Congress
Zero-Time Biopsy of Potential Donor Kidneys to Aid Decision-Making: A 9-Year Single-Center Experience.
Necker-Enfants Malades, Tenon and European Georges Pompidou Hospitals, Paris, France
The added benefits of zero-time biopsy of a potential donor kidney on top of standard donor biological and clinical data to aid in the decision…2017 American Transplant Congress
Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts According to BANFF Classification Is Associated with a Chemokine-Enriched Protein Microenvironment in Biopsy Tssue.
Background: Expression profiling efforts of biopsy tissue after kidney transplantation indicate that rejection can be defined by distinct signatures. Based on pathological evaluation (BANFF) as…
