Post-Transplantation Hypomagnesemia as a Predictor of Survival Among the Kidney Transplant Population.
Transplant Research Center, Brigham and women's hospital, Boston, MA.
We have previously shown a robust relationship between low magnesium in the first year post-transplant and better long-term kidney allograft function. Given this somewhat counterintuitive…2016 American Transplant Congress
Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) with a Novel Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier (HBOC) Solution for Ex Vivo Preservation in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA).
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Background: Improved preservation techniques could reduce ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRI) and allow better matching and allocation of VCA grafts across wider distances. A novel SNMP system…2016 American Transplant Congress
Is There a Difference Between DCD and DBD Kidney Transplantation with Similar KDPI?
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Introduction: Renal transplant outcomes are a result of a combination of donor and recipient factors. In 2014, the nomenclature used to describe donor quality was…2016 American Transplant Congress
Diabetes Mellitus and Kidney Transplant Outcomes.
Background:This study investigates the impact of pre-existing (PDM) and new onset diabetes (NODAT) on the graft and patient survival after kidney transplant.Methods:The UNOS database was…2016 American Transplant Congress
Minimum Graft Size Avoiding Small-for-Size Associated Early Graft Failure in Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) is a serious complication in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Original KDRI Predicts Kidney Graft Failure in a Brazilian Cohort.
Current US allocation system for kidney transplantation (KT) is based on KDRI (Kidney Donor Risk Index). In Brazil, it is still based on HLA-compatibility; donor…2016 American Transplant Congress
Determinants of 1 Year Graft Loss After Pre Kidney Transplant Bariatric Surgery.
Medical Unversity of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is increasingly used to manage weight pre-transplantation (Pre-Tx). However, grafts may be compromised by variable drug absorption, rejection and oxalate nephropathy.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Ideal Body Weight vs. Actual Body Weight for the Prediction of Small for Size Syndrome and Graft Loss After Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplantation, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: We compared the impact of estimating graft to recipient body weight ratio (GBWR) with actual body weight (ABW) and ideal body weight (IBW) on…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Successful Approach to Kidney Transplantation in Patients with Secondary Hyperoxaluria.
Chronic oxalate nephropathy is observed secondary to enteric hyperoxaluria that is associated with malabsorption e.g. in short bowel syndrome. Kidney transplantation can be challenging given…2016 American Transplant Congress
Natural Killer CD16/FcR Profiles May Associate with Enhanced Humoral Responsiveness in Heart Transplant Recipients with Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy.
Natural Killer cells (NK) are immune effectors of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Their role in mediating adverse effects of Donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) towards cardiac…
