Noninvasive Prognostication of Renal Allograft Failure Following BK Virus Associated Nephropathy – A Validation Study.
Transplant Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, NY, NY
Introduction. Identification of kidney transplant (KTx) recipients at risk for graft loss following BKVN diagnosis may allow personalization of immunosuppressive protocols. Previous study demonstrated that…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dysregulated Innate Immune Response Is a Robust Predictor of Allograft Injury and Survival Across All Transplanted Organs.
ObjectiveLate allograft failure is characterized by long-term cumulative effects of subclinical allograft injury. An optimal biomarker diagnoses acute rejection (AR), correlates with ongoing graft damage,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Size Does Not Matter: Should the Decision to Split Pediatric En Bloc Donor Kidneys Be Based on Donor Weight Rather Than Kidney Length?
Division of Transplant Surgery, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, CA
Background: Deceased donor kidneys from pediatric donors have been used with good results. However, there is little consensus on the criteria used to safely split…2017 American Transplant Congress
A UNOS Database Analysis of Patient Outcomes from Kidney Alone versus Simultaneous Kidney Liver Transplants Utilizing Matched Donor Pairs.
Surgery - Division of Transplantation, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Madison, WI
Introduction: Renal grafts used in simultaneous kidney liver (SLK) transplants are allocated by arbitrary clinical criteria without entering the kidney allocation algorithm. The goal of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Repeat Biopsies After the Diagnosis of BK Virus Associated Nephropathy: Importance of Integrating Clinical and Pathological Findings.
Early diagnosis of PV nephropathy(PyVAN) leads to overall improvements in the short term but sclerosing sequelae and risk for rejection (mainly antibody mediated) contribute to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk Factors of Treatment Failure in Antibody Mediated Rejection.
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is recognized as the major cause of kidney allograft loss. Despite an aggressive treatment, prognosis is usually poor. The aim of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Renal Function, Albuminuria, and the Risk of Death and Graft Loss After Kidney Transplantation.
In 2012, the KDIGO guidelines updated the classification system for chronic kidney disease to include albuminuria. Whether this classification system prognosticates adverse clinical outcomes among…2017 American Transplant Congress
Liver Allograft Hepatitis and Graft Loss After Hepatitis C Clearance.
Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
Successful HCV therapies should improve inferior outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) for HCV cirrhosis. We hypothesize certain patients may be predisposed to heterologous immunity that…2017 American Transplant Congress
