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
Pump Resistive Index Values and Not Preimplantation Kidney Biopsy Predict Kidney Allograft Survival
AimTo investigate the relationship between histological findings of preimplantation kidney biopsies and pump resistive index (RI) values during machine preservation and subsequent allograft survival.MethodsWe retrospectively…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Delayed Graft Function on Long Term Graft Survival Adjusted for Donor Kidney Quality Assessed by the KDPI.
Nephrology Charite Campus Mitte, Charite Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
IntroductionDelayed graft function (DGF) is associated with impaired graft survival in kidney transplant recipients. The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) is increasingly evaluated as a…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

Using Scheduled Commercial Flights for Transport of Liver for Transplant.
Transport of liver procured from a brain dead donor (BDD) to the receiving hospital by chartered private flight (PF) is a costly endeavour. Also the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Extended Ex Vivo Kidney Perfusion Using Hemopure as an Oxygen Carrier: A Method to Preserve, Assess and Repair Discarded Organs.
Transplant Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Background: Hypothermic non-oxygenated machine perfusion (HMP) is commonly used in kidney preservation, providing some advantage over static cold storage, as well as flow and resistance…2017 American Transplant Congress
Longer Anastomotic Time Leads to Delayed Graft Function.
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) occurs at variable rates in renal transplant recipients. It can be deleterious to renal allograft in long term. Various factors…
