A 30% Decrease in Post-kidney Transplant Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) from 6 Mo-2 Y Is a Surrogate for 5 Y eGFR: Results from Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation-(CTOT)-17.
Predicting long-term kidney allograft outcomes using early clinical/biomarker data could guide individualized therapy. Emerging evidence in progressive native kidney disease indicates >30% decrease in eGFR…2016 American Transplant Congress
Surveillance Renal Allograft Biopsies Prognosticate Graft Function.
Background: Surveillance biopsy of the renal allograft provides a window into the health of the allograft and could allow prognostication of function by affording better…2016 American Transplant Congress
Fluctuation of Renal Function During the First Year Is Associated with Negative Impact on Long-Term Kidney Graft Survival: A Retrospective, Propensity Score-Matched Study.
Background: Post-transplant renal function in the first year has been reported to predict long-term renal graft survival. The present study examined whether the fluctuation of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Activated Cytoprotective Mechanisms in DBD Kidneys Correlate with Kidney Function in Transplant Recipients: A Study Using Clinical Samples from the UK QUOD Biobank.
The onset of abnormal pathophysiological changes following brain death adversely impact kidney function following transplantation. Understanding the biological mechanisms that affect kidney quality will allow…2016 American Transplant Congress
Differential Characteristics of Kidney Transplant Recipients According to 1-Year Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3a and Stage 3b Graft Function.
Background: The outcomes of transplantation have been improved, but more than 50% of kidney transplantation recipients were still reported to have renal function of chronic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Paediatric Non-Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Kidney dysfunction is common after solid organ transplantation; however, rates of post-transplant AKI and CKD in children are unknown.Objective: Determine rates of AKI and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Interstitial Fibrosis Is the Critical Determinant of Impaired Renal Function in Transplant Glomerulopathy
PURPOSE: Transplant glomerulopathy (TGP) represents chronic antibody-mediated injury in the glomerular capillaries after renal transplantation, and is the main cause of graft failure. TGP is…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) and Acute Rejection (AR) on the Decline in Allograft Function After Kidney Transplantation
Nephrology, University of BC, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Delayed Graft Function (DGF) and Acute Rejection (AR) are associated with an increased risk of graft loss. It is unclear whether this is a result…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evolution of GFR Outcomes During the First Year of Transplant According to the Kidney Donor Risk Index Transplantation in México. The Experience of a Single Center
Several scoring systems have been proposed to evaluate the quality of kidneys from deceased donors (DD). Recently, Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) was introduced in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Can We Use MDRD or CKD-EPI Equation for Donor Selection?
Renal Transplantation Service, Hospital das Clínicas-FMUSP, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
INTRODUCTION: Determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for the selection of a potential living kidney donor. Since July 2008 our center has…
