Disparities in Death and Delisting on the Waitlist for Renal Transplant in the United States
Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
Waiting time to kidney transplant varies dramatically among organ procurement organizations (OPOs) in the US. We sought to evaluate the association between death and delisting…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Machine Perfusion After Long Static Cold Storage On Delayed Graft Function Incidence and Duration and Time to Hospital Discharge
Our transplant center is not involved in organ harvesting and usually we receive a kidney for transplant with more then 20 hours of static cold…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Kidneys Procured from Donors With KDPI > 80%
TRIBE Consortium, New Haven, CT.
Kidneys procured from donors with KDPI>80% are often biopsied and pumped, yet frequently discarded. The accuracy of these quality assessment tools remain controversial but contribute…2015 American Transplant Congress
Accurate Prediction of High-Resolution HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 Typing and Low-Resolution HLA-DQA1 Typing by Haplotype Analysis
Aim: Allele-specific HLA antibodies are commonly detected by Luminex single antigen bead assays in solid organ transplant recipients. However, high-resolution HLA typing for deceased donors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Delayed Graft Function and Number of Dialysis Sessions on Graft Outcome After Kidney Transplantation
Dep.of Nephrology Charité Campus Mitte, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
IntroductionDelayed graft function (DGF), defined as dialysis within the first week after kidney transplantation, is a common and known risk factor for impaired renal graft…2015 American Transplant Congress
Glomerulosclerosis Patterns Are Non-Uniform Throughout the KDPI Spectrum With Impact on Biopsy Evaluation of Kidneys for Transplant
1Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, Itasca, IL; 2Rush University, Chicago, IL.
Background: The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) stratifies kidney quality with direct bearing on organ allocation and utilization. Procurement biopsy is commonly performed and factored…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…
