Hybrid Ostomy – New Technique in Intestinal Transplantation
Miami Transplant Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL.
Introduction: Many experimental non-invasive methods have been tested to assess the intestinal graft, but none of them proved to be reliable. Biopsy of the intestine…2015 American Transplant Congress
Explorative Analysis of ZEUS After 5 Years: Histological Assessment from Biopsy Analyses
1ZEUS Study Group, Germany; 2Novartis, Pharma, Germany; 3ZEUS Study Group, Switzerland.
Background: Analysis of pathologists' assessments and histological data allow for deeper insight on patient outcome together with investigator's final clinical diagnoses. Here we present 5…2015 American Transplant Congress
De Novo DSA Would Not Necessarily Cause Graft Rejection After Renal Transplantation: Characteristics of DSA Developing Biopsy-Proven Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Kidney Center, Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya, Japan.
Introduction:De novo donor-specific HLA antibodies (dn DSA) production after renal transplantation has been reported to be associated with chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR), which leads…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Single Center Study on Pregnacy and Allograf Function Outcomes Post Heart Transplant
Heart Transplant, Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nasvhille, TN.
Pregnancy is a special time during a young woman's life, especially more so in those young women who are post heart transplant. The purpose of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reduction of Tacrolimus With Everolimus Addition in Maintenance Immunosuppression Improves Calcineurin Inhibitor-Induced Arteriolopathy in Kidney Allografts
Objectives: Although conversion of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based immunosuppression to everolimus (EVR) has been shown to improve graft function, no histopathological evidence has been reported. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection in a Large Cross-Sectional Cohort of Kidney Transplant Recipients – Results of the Screening Phase of the BORTEJECT Study
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is well established to be a leading cause of graft failure. Here, we investigated the prevalence of late ABMR in a large…2015 American Transplant Congress
Mitochondrial Feedback Mechanisms in Kidney Cell Senescence
BackgroundProgressive DNA damage (telomere attrition) is considered one of the key instigators of ageing. Different models for ageing where DNA damage leads to accelerated senescence…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prognostic Relevance of Rejection Episodes Detected Within the First 3 Weeks After Kidney Transplantation
Background:The relevance of cellular rejection events detected in the early phase after kidney transplantation for graft survival and function remains to be elucidated. Especially the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Distinct Blood and Biopsy Meta-Signatures for Acute Rejection Post Kidney Transplant
Acute rejection (AR) is a major cause of allograft dysfunction. Molecular signatures of AR from blood and biopsy have been identified by several independent cohort…2015 American Transplant Congress
Inflammation in Regions of Tubular Atrophy (IATR) Predicts Adverse Graft Outcome in Patients With Late Graft Dysfunction: A Multicenter Study
Purpose: Inflammation in regions of tubular atrophy (IATR) is a risk factor for late graft loss. However, IATR is associated with inflammation in non-atrophic regions…
