University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham.
BackgroundWe distinguish an altruistic donor from the traditional living donor when a living person's offer to donate an organ is to “anyone” and not attached…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Donation Body Mass Index Associations with Outcomes in Living Kidney Donors: A Single Centre Experience
West London Renal and Transplant Centre, Imperial College NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom.
Background. Living kidney donor (LD) eligibility criteria have expanded as a result of excellent donor outcomes and increasing organ demand. However, considerable variability exists between…2018 American Transplant Congress
Cold Pulsatile Machine Perfusion versus Static Cold Storage in Kidneys from Donation after Circulatory Death: A Multi-Centre Randomised Controlled Trial
Introduction:Delayed graft function affects around half of all recipients of donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys in the UK and has a significant impact on…2018 American Transplant Congress
Changes in Graft Gene Expression Contribute to Coagulopathy in UDCD Liver Transplantation
Hospital Clínic, Barcelona, Spain.
Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death donors suffer cardiac arrest followed by unsuccessful resuscitation. Their livers have been successfully transplanted, though strict maintenance and selection criteria…2018 American Transplant Congress
Increased Length of Stay of the Donor Decreases Heart Transplant Recipient Survival
Purpose: We hypothesize that the longer the cardiac donor is in the hospital prior to procurement, the worse the heart transplant (tx) recipient outcome for…2018 American Transplant Congress
Radioisotopic Evaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) before and 1 Year after Kindey Donation for Transplantation: The Concept of Estimated Renal Functional Reserve (eRFR)
Kidney donors (KD) develop a partial loss of renal function defined as Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Recovery from AKI is due to renal functional reserve…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Body Mass Index in Organ Donor is Significantly Correlated to Low PaO2/FiO2 Ratio in SRTR Database
Background:Atelectasis is a major cause of hypoxemia in organ donors. However, the risk factors of hypoxemia unknown. Our previous study suggested that donors with high…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation (KTx) Using Kidneys from Deceased Donors (DD) with Severe Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)
Background:Transplant centers are reluctant to accept kidneys from DD with severe AKI necessitating utilization of RRT. The aim of this study is to determine the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Donation after Cardiac Death Liver Grafts from Donors ≥ 50 Years of Age: A Multi-Center Analysis
