Lack of Efficacy of Eculizumab for Prevention of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
DGF portends poor short- and long-term renal function, increases cost, and may reduce graft survival. We studied the safety/efficacy of eculizumab (ECU), a C5 convertase…2018 American Transplant Congress
Unilateral vs. Bilateral Dual Kidney Transplantation: University of Bologna Experience
One option for using organs from donors with a suboptimal nephron mass, e.g. expanded criteria donors (ECD) kidneys, is dual kidney transplantation (DKT)Methods: Ninety-three DKT…2018 American Transplant Congress
Furosemide Stress Test as a Predicting Biomarker for Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation
Delayed graft function (DGF) is considered as a risk factor for long-term allograft failure and rejection episodes.There is currently no biomarker in the immediate post-kidney…2018 American Transplant Congress
Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Induction Therapy Are Safe and Feasible in Renal Allografts: Pilot Results of a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) and acute rejection lead to adverse effects on graft outcomes. Optimal induction intervention should include both renal structure injury repair…2018 American Transplant Congress
Population-Based Modeling of Prototypes and Determinants of Allograft Function Trajectories after Kidney Transplantation: Implications for Patient Monitoring and Risk Stratification
Paris Transplant Group, Paris, France.
Background:Although the current gold standard of monitoring kidney allograft patients relies primarily on GFR assessment, little is known about long-term eGFR trajectories prototypes and their…2018 American Transplant Congress

Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Livingston, NJ.
Torsion (rotation of kidney allograft around its vascular pedicle) or inversion (rotation of kidney graft around ureter) of intraperitoneal transplant kidney is a rare complication.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Direct Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis C on Acute Rejection and DSA Formation in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Background: Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) has historically portended a poor outcome after kidney transplantation. With recent advent of direct antiviral agents (DAA), there has…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of the Differences between Body Mass Index of Recipient and Donor in a Population of Robotic Kidney Transplant
1Surgery, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL; 2Surgery, Universit of Virginia, Virginia, VA.
Introduction: The recent introduction of minimally invasive technique allows to perform kidney transplant in otherwise suitable recipients regardless the recipient BMI. This could lead to…
