Donor Kidney Volume Predicts One and Three Month eGFR in Live Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients.
IntroductionThere has been increasing interest in non-immunological factors that may impact long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation. It is hypothesized that transplantation of larger nephron…2017 American Transplant Congress
Induction Immunotherapy in ECD and DGF Kidneys: Does ECD Equal Diminishing Induction Returns?
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
The benefit of induction immunotherapy to prevent DGF or mitigate its effects in recipients of marginal kidneys is not well understood and practices vary. We…2017 American Transplant Congress
Early Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation When Comparing Waist-to-Hip Ratio vs. Body Mass Index.
Introduction - High body mass index (BMI) is a concern for kidney transplantation due to wound infections and other surgical complications. BMI has been used…2017 American Transplant Congress
Renal Function Variability Is a Significant and Independent Risk Factor for Graft Loss and Death in Kidney Transplantation.
1Transplant, MUSC, Charleston, SC; 2Transplant, Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake City, UT
Previous studies have demonstrated that the magnitude of decline in renal function can predict graft loss after kidney transplant (KTX), but there is limited research…2017 American Transplant Congress
TIM-3 – CEACAM1 Checkpoint Regulation of T-Cell Activation and Hepatocellular Function in Liver Transplantation.
Background/Aim: We have documented crucial role of TIM-3 dependent T cell dysfunction in mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). CEACAM1 (CD66a; CM1; Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion…2017 American Transplant Congress
Procurement Kidney Biopsy versus KDRI for Predicting Graft Survival.
Background: The kidney donor risk index (KDRI) incorporates 10 variables to match organ quality with expected recipient survival. Though controversial, procurement biopsies are often performed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Renal Function Outcomes of Hypertensive Living Kidney Donors (HLD) and Recipients of HLD Kidneys: Results of a Case-Control Study.
1Nephrology, Ohio State, Columbus, OH; 2Transplant, Ohio State, Columbus, OH
As the shortage of suitable deceased and living kidney donors (LD) persists, medically complex LD, including those with hypertension (HTN), are being considered for donation…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Induction Therapy on Delayed Graft Function Following Kidney Transplantation in Mated Kidneys.
Department of Transplantation, Albert Einstein-Montefiore, Bronx, NY
Purpose: Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as the need for dialysis within one week of transplantation and occurs in 20-50% of deceased-donor kidney transplant…2017 American Transplant Congress
Scoring of Distinct Tubular Injury Features and Assessment of Cellular Proliferation and of Non-Apoptotic Cell Death by the Novel Marker FACL4 Allow to Determine the Long-Term Prognosis of Renal Grafts.
Acute tubular injury (ATI) is common in renal grafts and is related to an inferior long-term function. There is no consensus which of the tubular…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictors of Graft Loss in an Urban Predominantly Minority Cohort of Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Monterfiore/Einstein Center for Transplantation, Bronx, NY
BackgroundWe aimed to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with graft loss in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients with a high African-American and…
