Non-Immunologic Pairing of Kidney Transplant Donors and Recipients: How Important is HLA Match Status?
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
Currently, allocation preference in deceased donor kidney transplantation is given to donors and recipients (D/R) with 0 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches (MM), with non-immunologic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urine Podocin mRNA to Nephrin mRNA Ratio as a Marker of "Podocyte Stress" among Kidney Allografts Losing Function
1Univ of Michigan, Ann Arbor; 2Univ of Kansas, Kansas City.
Increasing data supports the hypothesis that long term allograft loss-of-function is associated with progressive glomerulosclerosis (GS). In models of progressive GS the ratio of two…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
Can Delayed Abdominal Fascia Closure Modify the Short Term Outcome after Adult Liver Transplantation?
BackgroundThe abdominal fascia at the end of adult liver transplantation could often represents a dangerous procedure, complicated by graft size mismatch and post reperfusion hepatic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation in Older Recipients: Preemptive High KDPI Kidney vs. Lower KDPI Kidney after Varying Dialysis Vintage
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Dialysis vintage is an independent predictor of adverse long-term kidney transplant outcomes. Transplantation of "marginal" kidneys also results in inferior outcomes. We sought to analyze…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Calcineurin Inhibitor Intra Patient Variability is Associated with Early Renal Allograft Inflammation, Chronicity and Loss
High CNI IPV has been associated with poor kidney allograft outcomes, albeit in small limited studies. We evaluated effect of CNI IPV (the degree of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplantation Using Pediatric versus Adult Donor Grafts in Adult Recipients
Organ Transplant Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Background and Aim: The reported outcomes of adult liver transplantation using pediatric allografts are largely controversial based on single center studies. We aimed to compare…2018 American Transplant Congress
Predictors of Graft Survival amongst Recipients of Liver Allografts with Prolonged Cold Ischemic Time (CIT)
Background: CIT is an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Factors contributing to improved graft survival in organs with CIT ≥12…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Overseas Organ Transplantation on Outcome of Kidney Transplant Patients
Background.Kidney transplantation is an effective treatment option for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Although there is a trend to decrease in overseas transplantation…2018 American Transplant Congress
Cognitive Impairment and Graft Loss in Kidney Transplant Recipients
1JHU, Baltimore; 2University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Cognitive impairment is common in end-stage renal disease patients and impedes adherence to complex treatment regimens. Given the complexities of post-transplant immunosuppression, we hypothesized that…
