Trends in Long-Term Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation in Australia and New Zealand.
Introduction: Surgical and medical advances have led to considerable improvement in short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation, with 1-year graft and patient survival approaching 100%. However,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Preventing of Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts by Targeting T Cell Metabolism.
[Background] Upon antigen recognition and co-stimulation, T lymphocytes upregulate the metabolic machinery necessary to proliferate and sustain effector function. This metabolic reprogramming in T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress

Immune Sensitization During Pregnancy Reduces Long-Term Benefit for Kidney Recipients of Offspring Living Donors.
Background Offspring-to-mother kidney transplantations are associated with excellent short-term outcomes given the accuracy of histocompatibility testing and potency of immunosuppression. However, immunologic memory responses in…2017 American Transplant Congress
KDPI Obscures Trends in Absolute Donor Risk.
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, Minneapolis, MN
The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) is commonly used to measure deceased donor kidney quality based on the kidney donor risk index (KDRI) (Rao, et…2017 American Transplant Congress
Retroactive Application of a New Risk Index for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation (LKDPI) to Renal Transplants in Veracruz, Mexico.
Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) was designed to estimate the graft loss risk in deceased donor transplants. Recently, the Epidemiology Research Group for Organ Transplantation…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk of Kidney Rejection Following Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation.
Introduction: Simultaneous liver kidney transplant (SLK) recipients may be at risk of antibody-mediated kidney rejection (AMR) if the pre-transplant crossmatch is positive (+CXM). Accordingly, in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Insertion Through Vagina and Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Kidney Transplantation: A Pilot Study.
Minimally invasive kidney transplantation is emerging modality of treatment; both laparoscopic and robotic assisted laparoscopic kidney transplantation are technically feasible and safe. In female recipients,…2017 American Transplant Congress
