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…2018 American Transplant Congress
Are Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) Kidneys Unsuitable for Pediatric Recipients?
Introduction: Despite the fact that the number of pediatric patients listed for kidney transplantation far exceeds the supply of deceased donor kidneys, there is a…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donation after Circulatory Death Donor Liver Transplantation without Ischemic Cholangiopathy: Is It Time to Expand DCD Liver Donor Pool?
Background: To prevent ischemic cholangiopathy (IC) after liver transplantation (LT), a protocol optimizing peri-operative conditions along with thrombolytic (tissue plasminogen activator) donor flush during DCD…2018 American Transplant Congress
