In Situ Aortic Flush with Lactated Ringer's (LR) Solution During Donation After Brain Death (DBD) Organ Procurement Provides Similar Outcomes and Significantly Decreases Costs in Kidney and Liver Transplantation Compared to Standard Preservation Solutions.
Medical Division, Gift of Life Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.
PURPOSE: To determine if LR, when used as the initial in situ aortic flush during DBD renal and hepatic procurement, was safe, effective, and non-inferior…2015 American Transplant Congress
Deleterious Effects in Kidney Transplant Outcomes With Pre-Organ Procurement Iodine Contrast Exposure
Background: Iodine contrast exposure is well known to cause acute kidney injury. When contrast exposure is added to hemodynamic ischemic injury its adverse effects on…2015 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Donor Profile Index Variability in Donors With Dialysis Dependent Acute Kidney Injury and the Impact On Organ Allocation
Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) is calculated using 10 donor variables including terminal serum creatinine (Cr) and is used in the new kidney allocation system…2015 American Transplant Congress
Relationship Between Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Severity and Predicted DGF Risk
1Quark, Fremont; 2UCSF, SF; 3U of Barcelona, BCN, Spain.
Historically, dialysis required in the first post-transplant (TX) week has defined DGF. This incidence-based definition fails to discriminate between short versus long courses of dialysis…2015 American Transplant Congress
Validating Outcomes Reported to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network for Deceased Donor Kidney Recipients
Data reported to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) is used in kidney transplant research, quality metrics and in policy development, but the accuracy…2015 American Transplant Congress
Biomarkers of Deceased Donors for the Prediction of Renal Allograft Outcomes
Background: Better prognostic markers in deceased donors(DD) are needed for determining whether to accept suboptimal DD kidneys or predicting post-transplant outcomes. Recently, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histopathological Criteria for Elevated Risk of Delayed Graft Function in German Pretransplantation Kidney Biopsies from Deceased Donors
Introduction:Delayed graft function (DGF) is more frequent with so called marginal kidney donors. Moreover, it is linked to increased recipient mortality and inferior transplant outcome.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Can MitoQ Improve Renal and Mitochondrial Function Following Cold Storage and Transplantation?
The overall goal of this study is to further evaluate the effectiveness of a potential new therapy designed to minimize damage during cold preservation, increase…2015 American Transplant Congress
Unknown Urological Pathologies in Renal Allografts from Deceased Donors. Should Image Evaluation Be Routinely Performed?
Division of Urology, Renal Transplantation Unit, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Purpose: In an effort to increase the overall donor pool, the use of extended-criteria kidneys has been routine in the majority of transplant centers. It…2015 American Transplant Congress
When Do DCD Donors Die? Outcomes and Implications of DCD at a High-Volume, Single-Center OPO in the United States
Introduction: Successful donation (SD) is not always possible following attempted donation after circulatory death (DCD). The goal of this study was to determine the fate…
