Muscle Mass Is Predictive of Mortality in Obese Renal Transplant Patients.
Introduction: The impact of obesity (body mass index [BMI] > 30 kg/m[sup2]) on kidney allograft outcomes is controversial. Recent studies found that obesity does not…2017 American Transplant Congress
Comparing Renal Function Recovery and Long Term Outcomes in Recipients of Standard and Expanded Criteria Donor Kidney Transplants.
McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Canada
Several donor and recipient characteristics are associated with adverse kidney transplantation (KT) outcomes. Our group has previously shown that based on the donor's terminal creatinine,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Causes and Long-Term Consequences of Diarrhea After Kidney Transplantation.
BackgroundThe causes and effects of diarrhea on graft outcomes have been poorly investigated in a large cohort of well-phenotyped kidney transplant recipients (KT). The epidemiological…2017 American Transplant Congress
Five-Year Outcomes After Transplantation of Kidneys from Deceased Donors with Acute Kidney Injury.
Background: Kidneys from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) are often discarded due to a perceived higher risk of poor graft function. Kidney Donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lymph Node Stromal Laminins Differentially Regulate T Cell Activation.
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Background:Our recent work demonstrated that laminins α4β1γ1 and α5β1γ1, components of the lymph node (LN) stroma, are differentially regulated. Tolerance is associated with relatively higher…2016 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Monitoring of Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies and Their Characteristics Improves Risk Stratification of Kidney Allograft Loss.
Circulating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) are associated with allograft failure in solid-organ transplantation. We investigated the pathogenic characteristics of DSA that may improve risk prediction…2016 American Transplant Congress
Lessons Learned Transplanting High KDPI Kidneys Over a Decade: Improvements in Graft Survival Stem from Lower Rates of Early Graft Loss.
Purpose. The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) recently replaced SCD/ECD designations, to provide transplant centers a more precise estimate of predicted graft survival, with the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Transitional B Cell T1/T2 Ratio Is a Prognostic Marker for Human Renal Allograft Deterioration.
1UPMC, Pittsburgh; 2University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom.
Human transitional B cells (TrB) may play a significant role in auto and alloimmune disease. TrB express a high IL10:TNFα ratio and this fell with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Delayed Graft Function in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation in a Brazilian Center.
Background. A high incidence of delayed graft function (DGF), after deceased donor kidney transplantation, occurs in Brazil and the reasons for such finding have not…2016 American Transplant Congress
Non-adherence to Appointments Is a Strong Predictor of Medication Non-Adherence and Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
Disparities in healthcare access and non-adherence are important aspects of transplantation that affect outcomes. This study aims to investigate the impact of non-adherence to laboratory…
