The Use of Kidney Donors Older Than 80 Years Does Not Affect Graft Survival in the Medium Term.
1Nephrology, Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Madrid, Spain; 2Nephrology, Hospital de León, Leon, Spain.
INTRODUCTION:Kidney transplantation is the best option for renal replacement therapy. One of its main limitations is the organs shortage. We analyzed the results in kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Role of Induction Therapy in Low Immune Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Induction therapy improves outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) by reducing early acute rejection. In the current era of potent maintenance immunosuppression, the role of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Use of Elderly Donors in Liver Transplantation: A Paired-Match Analysis at a Single Center.
Liver Surgery and Transplantation, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, Pisa, Italy.
Introduction: Use of livers from very old donors is a way to expand the donor pool, but this practice is not universally implemented due to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcome After Kidney Transplant (KTx) in Patients with Chronic Hypotension on Haemodialysis (HD).
5% of the HD population have chronic hypotension ( hypotension in the absence of volume depletion, antihypertensive medication, heart failure or cortisol deficiency). The perioperative…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Split Liver Transplantation: Single Center Experience.
Background: Split liver transplantation allows for expansion of the pool of organs for pediatric liver transplantation.Objectives: To assess overall outcomes in pediatric split liver transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Fecal Microbiota Transplant Results in Durable Changes to Host Microbiota That Correlate with Allograft Outcome.
CVID and IGS, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Hypothesis: We previously presented highly significant differences in the bacterial community structures of human renal allograft recipients over time. Likewise, murine normal, colitic, and pregnant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Machine Perfusion (MP) at 21[deg]C Simulates Hibernation Metabolic Pathways in a Non-Hibernator Mammal.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Background: Hibernation is a complex and multi stage process that leads to unique metabolic changes over an extended period of time. Regulatory genes and transcription…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Recipient Absolute Weight Mismatch and the Risk of Graft Loss in Renal Transplantation.
Background: Relatively smaller kidney donor to recipient size is proposed to result in increased graft loss due to nephron underdosing and hyperfiltration injury but few…2016 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Pancreas Import and Cold Ischemia on Outcomes Following Pancreas Transplantation.
1Surgery, Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, NC; 2Internal Medicine, Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, NC.
Proposed changes in pancreas transplant (PT) allocation may improve organ sharing but increase cold ischemia time (CIT). Methods: We performed a single center, retrospective study…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluating Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation as a Potential Surrogate Outcome.
Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Recent work demonstrates significant inter-center heterogeneity in delayed graft function (DGF) rates after kidney transplantation, calling into question the value of a metric based…
