Daily Use of a Muscle Pump Activator Device Reduces Hospitalization and Improves Graft Function Post Transplantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
London Health Sciences Center, London, Ontario, Canada, London, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Kidney and simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant recipients can have prolonged post-operative hospitalization due to edema, delayed mobilization, and delayed graft function. Traditionally, TED stockings…2019 American Transplant Congress
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography Predicts Insulin Secretion Ability at 1 Year after Pancreas Transplantation
*Purpose: We have previously reported that contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is useful to evaluate the graft circulation and to predict the endocrine function of the…2018 American Transplant Congress
SIRT1-Ikaros Axis Promotes Macrophage M2 Polarization and Protects Liver Graft from Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Although pre-clinical studies have reported the efficacy of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) to protect livers from ischemia-reperfusion injury, its clinical relevance in liver transplantation (LT) has…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Chemokine CXCL-10 in Long Term Renal Transplant Patients Associates with Urinary Tract Infections and Microvascular Damage
Non-invasive biomarkers are needed to predict rejection post kidney transplantation. In the early transplant period, urinary CXCL-9 and CXCL-10 associate with rejection. We assessed the…2018 American Transplant Congress

β-Glucuronidase Gene Expression in Stool Samples Associated with Chronic Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplants
Background: Myocophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a prodrug that is extensively and rapidly converted to the active component, mycophenolic acid (MPA). MPA undergoes extensive enterohepatic recycling…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation (KTx) Using Kidneys from Deceased Donors (DD) with AKIN Stage 2 and 3 Are Associated with Excellent Graft Outcomes
BackgroundKTx from DD with AKI can be a good source of kidneys however these kidneys are underutilized. The aim of this study is to determine…2018 American Transplant Congress
Direct-Acting Antiviral Therapy Immune-Mediated Graft Dysfunction in Liver Transplant Recipients with Hepatitis C
Background and Aims:Interferon (IFN) treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplantation (LT) can result in severe immune-mediated graft dysfunction (IGD). The occurrence…2018 American Transplant Congress
Do Protocol Biopsies in the Highly Sensitized Improve Renal Allograft Survival? A Single Center Evaluation of 2 Year Graft Function
Organ Transplant Center, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA.
Highly sensitized kidney transplant recipients (hsKTR) are at an increased risk of antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Following implementation of the new kidney allocation system (KAS)…
