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
Long-Term Outcomes of Spousal Donor Kidney Transplantation According to the Spousal Relationship
We investigated long-term outcomes of spousal donor grafts and factors affecting graft survival in spousal kidney transplantation. Between July 1997 and December 2013, we performed…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Cytokine Release Caused By Induction Immunosupression On Nitric Oxide in Renal transplantation
IntroductionVarying induction immunosuppression regimens have a differential impact on the pattern of cytokine release. Pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulate endothelial cells causing secretion of NO. Serum nitrite…2015 American Transplant Congress
Protecting Older Patients from Dialysis: The Survival Benefit of Preemptive Transplant With High KDPI Allografts
BACKGROUND: Mortality on dialysis remain markedly elevated in patients over 60 years old. Preemptive kidney transplantation (PreKT) represents a means of avoiding the risks of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is Organ Transplantation from Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Donors Safe? An Autopsy-Based Study of Parasite Persistence in Chronic Chagasic Patients
Heart Institute (InCor), University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil.
Introduction: Chagas' disease, endemic in Latin America, is caused by infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The disease can affect the heart and/or the gastrointestinal…2015 American Transplant Congress
Establishment of a Novel Model for Hypothermic Machine Perfusion In Vivo in Rabbits
Background: Hypothermic machine perfusion (MP) could improve outcome after transplantation of DCD kidneys, but protective mechanisms of MP remain largely unknown. Therefore, this study aims…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Donor Age on Longterm Outcomes in Asian Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Cohort Study
Background The living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is well known for best treatment of end-stage renal disease. Recently, kidney transplantation from elderly living donor has…2015 American Transplant Congress
One Year Outcomes and Quality of Life Measurements in 127 Extended Criteria Donor Recipients- A Single Centre Comparative Study
Introduction: Expanded criteria donors (ECDs) are those aged over 60 or 50-59 with 2 of: hypertension, death from cerebrovascular cause or terminal serum creatinine over…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation from Hypertensive Living Donors
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
The disparity between donor kidney availability and demand has increased utilization of kidneys from marginal living donors, including hypertensive donors. The aim of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNI) Minimization Associated With Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Inhibitors (i-mTOR) to Improve Renal Function in Renal Grafts from Uncontrolled Donation After Cardiac Death Donors (UDCDD)
INTRODUCTION: Ischemia injury in kidneys grafts from UDCDD could produce a poor renal function. Minimized blood levels of CNI associated with i-mTOR therapy could avoid…
