DSA Monitoring in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: The development of DSA monitoring is a new technique to detect antibodies in kidney transplant recipients. Data has shown that development of DSA post…2015 American Transplant Congress
Live Donor Kidney Transplantation: Recipient Outcomes When the Donor Developed ESRD
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
Recipient outcomes when the donor developed ESRD remain uncharacterized.Method: A cohort of 99 LDKT recipients between 04/1994-11/2011, whose donors subsequently developed ESRD, was compared with…2015 American Transplant Congress
Calcineurin-Inhibitor Conversion to mTOR Inhibitor in Renal Transplant Recipients Leads to Worse Long Term Clinical Outcomes
We previously reported the short-term feasibility of Calcineurin-Inhibitor (CNI) elimination in kidney transplant recipients. We now report the long-term clinical impact on renal allograft function…2015 American Transplant Congress
Successful Management of Post Transplant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis With Plasma Exchange and Rituximab
Background: Post-transplant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is associated with renal allograft loss. Currently, optimal treatment remains controversial. We propose a management protocol that includes treatment…2015 American Transplant Congress
Age-Specific Graft Failure Rates in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients
Graft failure risk has been shown to peak during emerging adulthood (18-25 y) among kidney transplant recipients. The association between age and graft failure risk…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes After Right Kidney Living Donor Transplant Are Associated With Center Volume
Surgery/Transplantation, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Background: Right kidney living donor transplant (RKLDT) is a high-risk, low-volume procedure that is associated with increased risk for early graft failure. It is unclear…2015 American Transplant Congress

Association of Pulmonary Hypertension at Kidney Transplant Evaluation and Subsequent Outcomes Following Transplantation
Background - Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common among patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who depend on dialysis before transplant, and PH is associated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histology of Renal Allografts With DGF Provides Limited Prognostic Information
DGF has been shown to be associated with adverse graft outcomes in renal transplantation. However DGF is heterogeneous histologically and the impact of various histological…2015 American Transplant Congress
Center Volume Is Associated With Early Graft Failure After Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
Surgery/Transplantation, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Introduction: The correlation between center volume and outcomes has been established within general surgery and is most pronounced within the context of high-risk, low-volume procedures.…
