Hyperuricemia Takes a Toll in Graft Function, Left Ventricular Diameters and Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Serum uric acid (UA) levels correlate with many recognized…2015 American Transplant Congress
Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Measurement in Renal Transplantation
BackgroundAllograft biopsy is the definitive diagnostic methods for evaluation of renal dysfunction, but there is always the risk of complications. Efforts to develop a notable…2015 American Transplant Congress
Right-Sided Kidney Transplants Are Associated With Early Graft Failure in the Setting of Delayed Graft Function
Yale University, New Haven, CT.
Anatomical differences between right and left kidneys may affect transplant outcomes. We sought to determine if the right kidney (RK) tends to have worse graft…2015 American Transplant Congress
Part II: Rates and Determinants of Progression for De Novo Donor-Specific Antibody Mediated Kidney Allograft Injury
The development of de novo donor-specific antibody (dnDSA) is an independent predictor of allograft loss in renal transplantation. Rates and determinants of clinical pathologic progression…2015 American Transplant Congress
Switching from Tacrolimus to Low-Dose Cyclosporine A Preserves Allograft Function in Presumptive and Definitive Polyomavirus-Associated Nephropathy
Switching from tacrolimus(Tac) to low-dose cyclosporine A(CsA) is recommended for preventing BK virus-associated nephropathy(BKVAN) and preserving allograft function in BKVAN patients, but systematic evaluations were…2015 American Transplant Congress

Transplant Surgery, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, United Kingdom.
BACKGROUND:Over the last decade CPE infection has been reported globally and is now endemic in healthcare facilities in many countries. There has been no report…2015 American Transplant Congress
Somatostatin (Eumedica®) Infusion Allows Modulating Graft Flows and Gradients in Liver Transplantation. Results of a Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial
Background: Somatostatin (SST) infusion decrease portal pressure in acute variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients. Despite liver transplantation (LTx), recipients with portal hypertension (PHT) display different…2015 American Transplant Congress
Combination of Clinical and Genetic Factors for Delayed Kidney Graft Function Prediction
In this study we sought to determine the risk for delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplants (Tx) with deceased donors (DD) through the analysis…2015 American Transplant Congress
National Transplantation Pregnancy Registry: Cholestasis of Pregnancy in Liver Transplant Recipients
Cholestasis of pregnancy (COP) occurs in approximately 1% of pregnancies and is associated with increased risk of premature delivery. The purpose of this study was…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Delayed Graft Function By Means of a Web-Based Calculator in Living Related Kidney Transplant: Mexican Single Center Experience
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is associated with, poor graft survival. Irish validated a model to predict DGF for deceased donor transplants. The model was…
