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…2016 American Transplant Congress
Torque Teno Virus – Inverse Association with Late Silent Antibody Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection.
Clinical Problem and hypothesis: Antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) is a cardinal cause of late graft failure after kidney transplantation (KTX). A promising predictive diagnostic tool…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Role of Obesity in Survival Outcomes of Liver Transplant Recipients with High MELD Score.
Background:Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States. More than one third of adults are obese, defined as having body mass index (BMI) greater…2016 American Transplant Congress
Primary Graft Failure following Cardiac Transplantation Is Associated with Elevated Pre-Transplant Levels of Pro-Inflammatory Factors.
Primary graft failure (PGF) is defined as severe ventricular dysfunction immediately following heart transplantation (HTx) requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) such as VA ECMO…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Death-Censored Graft Loss in the DeKAF Study.
The aim of the Deterioration of Kidney Allograft Function study (DeKAF) was to identify and assess the pathologies of troubled kidney grafts, that is, those…2016 American Transplant Congress
Functional Capacity Pre-Transplantation Measured by 6 Minute Walk Test and Clinical Outcomes.
Background:The 6 minute walk is an inexpensive, low-technology test for measuring a patient's functional capacity and overall fitness. The utility of 6 minute walk test…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes for Liver Transplantation Using Organs from Donation After Cardiac Death Donors: A Single Center Experience.
