Primary Graft Dysfunction After Pediatric Heart Transplant.
Pediatric Cardiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO
Background: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD), as defined by ISHLT Consensus Guidelines, has been associated with worse outcomes in adult heart transplant recipients, even in patients…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Mutation of the Erythropoietin Receptor Correlates with Improved Function of Deceased-Donor Renal Transplants.
Erythropoietin (Epo) protects renal tubular cells from ischemia/reperfusion injury in experimental transplantation, suggesting a relevant effect of erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) mediated signalling. Previously 6 mutations…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Early Allograft Dysfunction on Graft and Patient Outcomes After Liver Transplantation.
The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
Objective: To evaluate the short-term and long-term impact of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) on graft and patient outcomes after liver transplantation.Background: EAD is one early…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Value of Post Reperfusion TEG in Peri-Operative Outcomes During Liver Transplant.
Transplant Surgery, Hartford Hospital, Hartford, CT
Liver transplantation (LT) is the main treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. During a liver transplant, persistent coagulations defects and fibrinolysis can be an…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Early Pancreas Graft Failure on Patient and Kidney Graft Survival After Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation (SPK).
SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY
Introduction: In SPK transplants, the major risk factors for poor patient survival are early pancreas and/or kidney graft loss. In this study, we specifically examined…2017 American Transplant Congress
Changes in Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin Combined with Urine Cytokines and Microalbuminuria as Predictors for Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy in Kidney Transplantation: A Matched-Pair Tissue Cohort Study.
Background: Late graft loss from interstitial fibrosis - tubular atrophy (IF/TA) continues to be the “Achilles' heel” of kidney transplantation (KT). Long-term calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Hepatitis E Virus-Associated Cryoglobulinemia in Solid-Organ-Transplant Recipients: A Prospective Study.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is responsible for acute and chronic autochthonous hepatitis in developed countries, particularly in Western Europe. Conversely to hepatitis B or C,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Release of HMGB1 in Serum and Urine of Brain-Death Donors Is Associated with Delayed Graft Function (DGF) of the Kidney.
Delayed kidney graft function (DGF) following a kidney transplant is associated with worse graft survival and higher rejection risk. Risk factors for DGF have been…2017 American Transplant Congress
IL-3 Contributes to Development of Basophil-Triggered Cardiac Allograft Fibrosis Development.
Introduction: Organ fibrosis and vasculopathy are major causes of chronic cardiac allograft failure. Resident (donor-derived) fibroblasts are thought to be mainly responsible for excessive production…2017 American Transplant Congress
Relationship of Liver Extraction Times to Early Allograft Dysfunction and Post-Transplant Kidney Injury.
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Background: Donor extraction times for kidney allografts are associated with inferior kidney outcomes. We hypothesized that that longer donor liver extraction times would be associated…
