Transplantation of Very Small Pediatric En Bloc Renal Allografts from Donors Less Than 8 Months of Age Have Similar Outcomes to Donors More Than 8 Months
Purpose: Few programs use kidneys from donors with body weight (BW) less than 10 kg or less than 8 months of age, for fear of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Use of Public Health Service Increased Risk Kidneys in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients: Recipient Characteristics
1Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia; 2University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Utilization of Public Health Service Increased Risk Kidneys in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients by Era
1Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia; 2University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Purpose: Donors labeled Public Health Service Increased Risk (PHS-IR) continue to rise due to opioid abuse and expanding criteria defining 'increased-risk.' Many PHS-IR donors are…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Machine Learning Approach for Prediction of Delayed Graft Function in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction:Delayed graft function (DGF) is an early signal of graft injury that is common in deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) recipients. Although we have predictive…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lactate Level Immediate Post-Liver Transplantation Is a Predictor of Early Allograft Dysfunction.
Background; Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after liver transplantation (LT) is defined as a peak values of aminotransferase >2000 IU/mL during the first week or an…2017 American Transplant Congress
Eliminating False Positive Virtual Crossmatch Results for Lung Transplant Candidates by Using Multiple Antibody Testing Platforms.
Purpose: At present, immunologic risk for lung transplant patients is evaluated based on Virtual crossmatch (VXM) by comparing recipient's HLA antibodies detected by Single antigen…2017 American Transplant Congress
Is Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation (DDTX) Justified in Patients with More Than 10 Years of Pre-TX Dialysis Exposure?
Background: The new kidney allocation system (KAS) led to an increase in DDTX among patients with ≥10 years of pre-TX dialysis exposure. We aimed to…2017 American Transplant Congress
