Waitlist Outcomes of Patients Re-Listed Following Failed Donation After Cardiac Death (DCD) Liver Transplant.
Transplant, Mayo Clinic Florida, Jacksonville, FL
Introduction: The outcome for patients re-listed after developing ischemic cholangiopathy(IC) or graft failure following liver transplant(LT) from a DCD donor, remains a significant concern. Better…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prognostic Histopathologic Characteristics in Recurrent IgA Nephropathy: The Clinical Significance of Vascular Change.
Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea
Background Although recurrent IgA nephropathy (IgAN) after kidney transplantation is known to cause lgraft failure, the clinical significance of histopathologic parameters in allografts needs further…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Peri-Transplant Viral Upper Respiratory Infection on Pediatric Liver Transplant Outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Viral upper respiratory infection (vURI) is common in children and its effect at the time of liver transplant (LT) on the post-operative outcomes is…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Alemtuzumab Induction on Hepatitis C Treatment Outcomes Post-Renal Transplantation.
University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, MD
BackgroundDirect-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have improved treatment outcomes for Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Given high rates of treatment success with few side effects, eradication of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Vimentin Regulates ß-Catenin Translocation During Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Renal Fibrosis.
Sugery, Section of Transplantation, Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY
Introduction: Most renal transplants ultimately fail secondary to chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). The development of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in renal tubular epithelial cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
Variables Associated with Liver Graft Utilization and 30-Day Failure: A Liver Graft Quality Index.
The quantitative evaluation of liver graft quality remains one of the most understudied clinical problems in transplantation. A few scoring systems have been proposed, but…2017 American Transplant Congress
25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], but Not 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], Independently Predicts Kidney Graft Failure: The Wisconsin Allograft Recipient Database (WisARD).
Vitamin D deficiency is common in chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. Kidney transplant recipients are at elevated risk of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Tolerance Induction Protocol for Vascularized Composite Allografts in Non-Human Primates: The Immunomodulatory Effect of Donor Bone Marrow Transplantation Does Not Prevent the Development of Chronic Rejection in the Absence of Durable Mixed Chimerism.
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
PURPOSE: Donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT) has been investigated in experimental and clinical vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). With longer-term follow-up, reports of chronic VCA rejection…2017 American Transplant Congress
Procurement Kidney Biopsy versus KDRI for Predicting Graft Survival.
Background: The kidney donor risk index (KDRI) incorporates 10 variables to match organ quality with expected recipient survival. Though controversial, procurement biopsies are often performed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Proteasome Modulation an Effective Strategy to Ameliorate Steatotic Liver Grafts Viability After Preservation.
Recently we provided evidence for a possible protective role of proteasome inhibition during liver graft preservation. Although, several reported data confirmed that the proteolytic activity…
