Biomarkers of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Chronic Allograft Nephropathy: Potential for Early Detection and Development of Novel Therapeutic Agents.
Pathology, BioChemistry and Medical Laboratory Sciences, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL
Purpose: To detect markers and novel treatment targets related to fibrogenesis and eventual graft loss by focusing on Epithelial Mesenchymal transition (EMT) which requires understanding…2017 American Transplant Congress
Cardiovascular Events Are a Substantial and Increasing Cause of Graft Loss in Liver Transplant Recipients.
Pharmacy, Transplant, MUSC, Charleston, SC
Purpose: The overall 1- and 3- year graft survival rates following liver transplant are 89.1% and 79.9%, respectively. While these numbers have vastly improved, they…2017 American Transplant Congress
Short- and Long-Term Graft Survival After Kidney Transplantation in Western Europe.

1UVA, Charlottesville; 2VCU, Richmond; 3OSU, Columbus; 4NWU, Chicago
Background: The renal allograft is exposed to a milieu of environmental/metabolic stimuli that trigger epigenetic modifications and thereby gene expression patterns which influence function and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Bacteremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes.
Background: Bloodstream infections or bacteremia is a serious complication after kidney transplantation. The incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of bacteremia among kidney transplant recipients have…2017 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Concentration Ability in Kidney Transplant Patients as Predictor for CKD.
Urinary concentration is the result of a complex glomerulotubular mechanism, which culpits with the stimulation of aquaporins at the collector tubule, in response to vasopressin…
