Introduction: Expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys increase the organ pool but their discard rate remains high, especially in the setting of donation after cardiac death…2018 American Transplant Congress
Failure to Remove De Novo Donor-Specific HLA Antibodies is Influenced by Antibody Properties and Identifies Kidney Recipients with Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection Destined to Graft Loss
Late antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the major cause of renal allograft loss. Current research is focusing on identifying a performant risk stratification in order to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Successful Management of Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant Recipient with Primary Hyperoxaluria Using Intensive Continuous Dialysis
The rate of oxalate production in patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH-1) exceeds the rate of removal, leading to progressive worsening of kidney function.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Does DGF Result in Worse Outcomes in a Second Transplant?
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a risk factor for patient death, kidney allograft loss, reduced allograft function and acute rejection after kidney transplantation. Prior transplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Clinically Relevant Variation of Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA during Longitudinal Surveillance of Renal Allografts
Purpose: Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) levels >1% are associated with active rejection in renal transplant recipients. This report defines the clinically relevant variation of dd-cfDNA…2018 American Transplant Congress
Recurrent FSGS Post-Transplantation: Prevalence and Risk Factors
Introduction: Primary FSGS can recur in the renal allograft and is associated with poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence…2018 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of Active Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection with Rituximab, IVIG and Plasma Exchange
Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cABMR) and transplant glomerulopathy (TG) are main features associated with long-term graft loss. Despite its clinical significance, the available evidence on treatment…2018 American Transplant Congress
Improving Prediction of Post-Transplant Death and Graft Loss with Expanded Clinical Data Collection
