Time-Effect of Donor and Recipient Characteristics on Graft Survival after Kidney Transplantation
BackgroundThe current kidney allocation system (KAS) is based on the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and the Estimated Post-Transplant Survival (EPTS), quality-based “longevity matching” strategies…2018 American Transplant Congress
Higher Concordance in the Incidence of DGF and Post-Transplant BKV Infection among Recipients Receiving Mate Kidneys from the Same Deceased Donor: A Paired Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Analysis
Background: This study was undertaken to explore the degree to which donor variables impact rates of DGF, post-transplant CMV and BKV infections using a paired…2018 American Transplant Congress
You've Gotta Have HOPE: Seeking HIV Donors in a Large US OPO
1LiveOnNY, NY; 2Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY.
Passage of the HOPE Act in 2013 led to important workflow changes within a large US organ procurement organization (OPO). The initial triage process for…2018 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Variation in Drug Overdose as Donor Cause of Death
Numbers of deceased organ donors have increased steadily since 2012, with large increases 2015-2016. The opioid epidemic has been speculated to drive these increases, differentially…2018 American Transplant Congress
Assessing Necroptosis in Brain Dead Kidney Donors: Implications for Predicting Recipient Outcomes
Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Introduction: Kidney graft transplant obtained from Brain Dead Donors (BDD) is more frequently associated with development of delayed graft function (DGF) and higher risk of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Shortened Cold Ischemia Time and Reduced Incidence of Delayed Graft Function for Kidney Transplants through Enhanced Tissue Compatibility Testing
A. HLA-typing and prospective leukocyte cross-matching needed for deceased donor kidney transplantation (kTX) may delay the onset of surgery. We compared cold ischemia times (CIT)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Causes of Death among Deceased Donors
Numbers of deceased organ donors changed little from 2006 to 2010, with an average of 7486 donors per year, but have been increasing since 2010.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Survival in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant by Kidney Donor Profile Index versus Intensive Home Hemodialysis
In an era of donor scarcity, high Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) >85% organs can serve as a pathway to timely transplant. We previously reported…2018 American Transplant Congress
Optimizing Outcomes with a Collaborative Approach after Kidney Transplant in Hepatitis C-Positive Recipients Receiving Hepatitis C-Positive Grafts
Piedmont Transplant Institute, Piedmont Healthcare, Atlanta, GA.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the multidisciplinary approach to HCV treatment in HCV+ kidney recipients receiving HCV+ grafts. METHODS: Single center review of treatment and outcomes in…2018 American Transplant Congress
