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…2016 American Transplant Congress
Reversibility of Acute Kidney Rejection According to the Banff 2013 Classification: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
1CRCHUM, Montreal, QC, Canada; 2Statsciences, Montreal, QC, Canada; 3HMR, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Vascular involvement of the allograft has classically been regarded as a poor prognostic factor in acute kidney graft rejection. Cell-mediated endarteritis often coexists with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Arteriolar Hyalinosis on Renal Transplant Protocol Biopsies Is Not Associated with Tacrolimus Exposure.
Previous studies have implicated the development of arteriolar hyalinosis (AH) following kidney transplantation to chronic calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity. Here, we examined the association between tacrolimus…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Treatment of Borderline Lesion in Protocol Biopsies Did Not Improve the Outcome in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Introduction. Up to 30% of patients with protocol biopsies and stable renal function have borderline lesions. His relationship with acute rejection remains uncertain, as does…2016 American Transplant Congress
Implications of Subclinical Borderline Acute Cellular Rejection Detected in Protocol Biopsies on Graft Outcomes.
Background: The effects of subclinical borderline acute cellular rejection (BACR-defined as I1T1 per Banff criteria) detected in protocol biopsies (Bx) on subsequent graft function and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Renal Graft Survival According to Banff 2013 Diagnostic Categories in Indication Biopsies.
1Nephrology, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain; 2Pathology, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.
The impact of acute rejection in kidney graft survival is well known, but the prognosis of other diagnosis is uncertain. We evaluated the frequency and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Is Pretransplant Determination of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tumor Grade Using Needle Biopsy Reliable for Transplant Candidate Selection? Analysis of 217 Liver Transplant Recipients.
Department of Surgery, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Objective: Despite the prognostic significance of tumor grade and vascular invasion for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), preoperative needle biopsy (PNB) is not routinely utilized…
