The Association of Pre-Kidney Transplant C-Peptide Level with Post Transplant Outcomes
Nova Scotia Health Authority Division of Nephrology, Departm, Halifax, NS, Canada
*Purpose: Insulin is produced by pancreatic beta-cells by cleavage of a prohormone precursor into equal parts insulin and C-peptide. C-peptide has been shown to have…2020 American Transplant Congress
Trajectories of Glomerular Filtration Rate and Progression to End Stage Renal Disease after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Although the current gold standard of monitoring kidney transplant function relies on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment, little is known about GFR trajectories after…2020 American Transplant Congress
Sparing the Nephron in Liver Transplant Recipients with Antithymocyte Bridging: A Four Year Experience
*Purpose: Renal function decline after liver transplant (LT) remains a significant issue. Using antithymocyte globulin (rATG) to delay tacrolimus (TAC) initiation may impact renal deterioration;…2020 American Transplant Congress
Trough Level Compliance in Immunosuppression is Important to Protect Renal Function after Liver Transplantation – An Additional Analysis from the Hephaistos Study
1Hephaistos, Study Group, Germany, 2Novartis Pharma GmbH, Nürnberg, Germany
*Purpose: Most immunosuppressive drugs are dosed according to trough levels (C0-levels). To achieve the optimal balance between efficacy and safety, it is important to avoid…2020 American Transplant Congress
Utility of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Living Kidney Donor Candidates
*Purpose: Pre-donation renal function is an important determinant of future development of kidney disease in live kidney donors (LKD). In 2017, the Kidney Disease Improving…2020 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Body Mass Index on Methodsof Assessing Glomerular Filtration Rate in Living Kidney Donors
*Purpose: The current Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) policy on living kidney donors (LKD) require that all LKD candidates have measured glomerular filtration rate…2020 American Transplant Congress
Elucidating the Genetic Background of End Stage Renal Disease of Unknown Aetiology in Patients Listed for Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: The prevalence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) of unknown aetiology in adult patients accounts for almost 20% of all dialysis patients in Europe.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Cystatin C Provides the Best Prediction of Cardiovascular Events and Mortality Compared to Measured GFR and Creatinine Based GFR in Kidney Transplant Recipients
1Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ, 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: GFR estimated by cystatin C (CysC) is a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality compared to eGFR by creatinine (Cr) in native…2020 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Donation CKD-EPI GFR is Superior to Iothalamate Split Scan Results in Predicting 6-Month Post-Nephrectomy Donor Kidney Function
General Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Predicting post-donation GFR remains a challenge during living kidney donor (LKD) evaluation. Iothalamate split scans have been employed during LKD evaluation to document measured…2020 American Transplant Congress
Recurrent Diabetic Nephropathy Post Kidney Transplant is Associated with High Risk of Mortality
*Purpose: The goal of the study was to determine the incidence of recurrent diabetic kidney disease (DKD) after kidney transplantation (KT) and assess its correlation…
