Age-Specific Graft Failure Rates in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
Graft failure risk peaks during emerging adulthood (18-25 y) in kidney transplant recipients. The association between age and graft failure risk in liver transplant recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Timing of Pregnancy and Risk of Kidney Allograft Failure
Division of Nephrology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The optimal timing of pregnancy after kidney transplantation remains uncertain. In this analysis of 23,981 female first-kidney only transplant recipients of child-bearing age (15-45 years),…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Distinct Glomerular Complement Deposition Pattern in Transplant Glomerulopathy
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
While many patients with transplant glomerulopathy (TG) have donor-specific antibodies, the lack of C4d deposition in the peritubular capillaries (ptc-C4d) in some cases has caused…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Microbiota and Its Contribution for the Development of Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Human Lung Transplantation
Background: The microbiome of the donor lung will be imported to the recipient, and its role in allograft immunity remains speculative. The aims of this…2015 American Transplant Congress
Can Post-Transplant C-Peptide Be Used as an Indicator of Pancreas Graft Failure?
Background: The OPTN Pancreas Transplantation Committee is attempting to define pancreas graft failure and performed a study to determine if C-peptide corresponds to pancreas graft…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Preoperative MELD Score On Small for Size Syndrome in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Surgery, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, Japan.
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been expanded worldwide and the outcome of even adult-to-adult LDLT using left lobe reported to be equivalent to that…2015 American Transplant Congress
Inflammation in Regions of Tubular Atrophy (IATR) Predicts Adverse Graft Outcome in Patients With Late Graft Dysfunction: A Multicenter Study
Purpose: Inflammation in regions of tubular atrophy (IATR) is a risk factor for late graft loss. However, IATR is associated with inflammation in non-atrophic regions…2015 American Transplant Congress
Respiratory Infections Following Lung Transplantation Leads to De Novo Development of Antibodies to Both Donor HLA and Lung Associated Self-Antigens and Increases the Risk for Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome
Background: It is accepted that lower respiratory tract infections (LRI) post lung transplantation (LTx) are a risk factor for the development of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome…2015 American Transplant Congress
External Validation of Clinical Prediction Models of Patient and Graft Survival in a Canadian Cohort of Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Several clinical prediction models (CPM) of patient and graft survival in kidney transplant recipients have been developed as tools to assist physicians in identifying…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Late Graft Loss in Kidney Recipients With Serum Sickness Disease Following Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction: Relation With an Anti-Neu5Gc Response
Anti-thymocyte globulins (ATG) are rabbit IgGs against human T cells widely used as induction treatment of kidney recipients. ATG can induce immune-complex diseases including Serum…
