Gene Expression Profiles Indicate That Many Discarded Kidneys Are Potentially Transplantable
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2University of Marlyland, Baltimore.
We previously showed that the molecular kidney injury-repair response (AKI score) in implantation core biopsies (Bx) predict future graft function better than histology. This could…2015 American Transplant Congress
Tissue Distribution, Preparation and Phenotype Characteristics of Stem Cells Originated from the Organs of Deceased Human Individuals
Objective: Multipotent stem cells are unique cells present in several human organs that have self-renewing properties and are able to differentiate into diverse specialized cell…2015 American Transplant Congress
Screening for West Nile Virus in California: Resolving IgM Anti-WNV in the Area With Dengue Seroprevalence
West Nile Virus (WNV) symptoms develop 2-15 days after exposure with a short period of viremia (6-7 days). It is possible to detect WNV in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Do Pre-Procurement Factors Affect Vascular Resistance During Pulsitile Perfusion of Deceased Donor Kidneys?
Background: Pulsatile perfusion (PP) of explanted deceased donor kidneys can improve early function after transplantation, as compared to static cold flushing and storage. High vascular…2015 American Transplant Congress
Surgical Error: A Common, Preventable Threat to Deceased Donor Organs
Deceased donor procurements (N = 340) performed through a single organ procurement organization during a 19 month period from 7/1/13 - 11/30/14 were reviewed through…2015 American Transplant Congress
In Pre-Implantation Biopsies Expression of Micro RNAs Is Not a Good Surrogate for Established mRNA Markers of Kidney Injury
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2University of Marlyland, Baltimore.
Kidneys from brain dead donors>50 years old are often discarded based on conventional (clinical and histologic) criteria, despite their poor predictive value for subsequent performance…2015 American Transplant Congress
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…
