Artificial Intelligence May Detect Donor Liver Steatosis and Predict Early Post-Transplantation Graft Failure
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
*Purpose: To compare the accuracy of donor liver biopsy slides scored by manual histopathologic review versus a computer vision artificial intelligence (CVAI) platform to predict…2018 American Transplant Congress
Extracellular Microvesicles from Liver Perfusate: microRNAs, Cellular Cross-Talk, and Early-Post Liver Transplant Outcomes
1Surgery, UVA, Charlottesville; 2Nephrology Division, UVA, Charlottesville.
Background: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a multifactorial process that impact liver graft function. Donor quality plays a critical role during IRI and early graft…2018 American Transplant Congress
Are Deceased Donor Characteristics Associated with Liver Graft Failure among Low MELD Patients Receiving a Liver Transplant Changing
1Nothwestern, Chicago; 2Western University, London, Canada.
Intr Low MELD patients have less access to liver transplantation (LT) and increasingly receive 'marginal' organs with risk of graft failure (GF). Despite increased utilization…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predictors of Graft Survival amongst Recipients of Liver Allografts with Prolonged Cold Ischemic Time (CIT)
Background: CIT is an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Factors contributing to improved graft survival in organs with CIT ≥12…2018 American Transplant Congress
Preoperative Patient Education to Improve the Inpatient Experience for Living Donors
Transplant Department, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Purpose: Although the number of living organ donors is small, their altruistic sacrifice requires a dedicated approach to meet their unique needs. Living donors (LD)…2018 American Transplant Congress
Should Kidneys from Donation after Cardiac Death Expanded Criteria Donors Be Transplanted?
Surgery, Medicine, Pathology, Pharmacy, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC.
Introduction: Expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys increase the organ pool but their discard rate remains high, especially in the setting of donation after cardiac death…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hard-To-Place Kidney Offers: Granular Examination of Donor Risk Factors for Discard
Background: Deceased-donor kidney discard rates remain high. Understanding risk factors for discard is difficult since most analyses lack granularity and sufficient sample of high disease…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes of Primary Kidney Transplant from Expanded Criteria Maastricht Category 3 DCD Donors: A Single-Centre Observational Study
Background. Kidney transplants (KTx) from standard (STD) DCD donors have higher rates of primary non function (PNF) and delayed graft function (DGF) than DBD but…2018 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Accepting Kidneys of Varying Quality for Transplantation or Expedited Placement with Decision Trees
Underutilization of marginal-quality kidney-organs for transplantation has occupied the community and led to introducing the idea of expediting the placement of kidneys for populations at…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Survival after Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplants by Donor-Recipient Match: Who Can Tolerate a High-KDPI Kidney?
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Deceased-donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) with high-KDPI kidneys carries an additional risk of mortality and graft failure, which could be tolerable for some candidates but detrimental…
