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
Introduction:As the population in the United States continues to age, an increase in the number of potential DCD donors with advanced chronological age can be…2018 American Transplant Congress
Factors Related to Suboptimal Recovery of Renal Function after Living Donor Nephrectomy
Japanease Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, Kidney Center, Kumamoto, Japan.
Introduction:Renal function of the living donor usually recovers to 60~70 percent of baseline function by compensatory hypertrophy mechanism. However, the degree of this compensatory hypertrophy…2018 American Transplant Congress
Should More Donation after Cardiac Death Livers Be Used in Pediatric Transplantation?
Introduction: Multiple strategies exist to increase the organ pool for livers in pediatric recipients, including using split livers, high risk livers, and donation after cardiac…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donor Derived Transmissions in 2016-2017: Analysis of the OPTN Ad Hoc Disease Transmission Advisory Committee (DTAC)
DTAC, United Network for Organ Sharing, Richmond, VA.
The DTAC evaluates unanticipated potential donor-derived transmission events (PDDTE), including mostly infections (I) & malignancies (M), to assess for likelihood of donor transmission. Reporting policy…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Liver Allograft Discard: The Discard Risk Index
Abdominal Transplantation, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.
Background: An index that predicts liver allograft discard can effectively grade allografts and can be used to preferentially allocate marginal allografts to aggressive centers. Aim:…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hemodynamic and Functional Analysis of Human DCD Hearts Undergoing Normothermic Ex Vivo Perfusion
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Heart donation after circulatory death (DCD) is feasible although little is known about the hemodynamic and functional parameters of these marginal donor organs. We conducted…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Donor Nephrectomy in the Older Living Kidney Donor: Single Centre Experience
West Lodnon Renal and Transplant Centre, Imperial College NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom.
Background. Living kidney donor transplantation is the best treatment for ESRD and considered safe for the donor. We aimed to investigate short and medium-term outcomes…
