Higher Functional Capacity Prior to Kidney Transplant Confers Lower Risk of New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation.
Background: New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) adversely impacts both allograft function and patient survival. We hypothesize that higher functional capacity prior to kidney transplant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Intra-Operative Hepatic Arterial Flow Predicts Hepatic Artery Complications After Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation.
Baylor University, Dallas, TX.
IntroductionHepatic arterial flow (HAF) is important for post liver transplant outcomes. This study was conducted to determine the predictive value of measured intraoperative HAF on…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Model to Explore the Potential Budget Impact of a Novel Screening Tool for the Detection of Subclinical Rejection Among Kidney Transplant Patients.
1Immucor, Inc, Waukesha, WI; 2Avalare Health, LLC, Washington, DC.
Background: Acute rejection among kidney transplant patients is common, with ~10% of individuals experiencing acute rejection within the first year and rising to 16-17% at…2016 American Transplant Congress
Mortality and Graft Loss Attributable to Readmission Following Kidney Transplantation.
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
BACKGROUND: Early hospital readmission (EHR) following kidney transplantation (KT) is independently associated with graft loss and mortality. Prior work assumes that this association is constant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) 9-Induced Resistance to Murine Cardiac Allograft Tolerance Is Dependent Upon C3a and C5a Receptor (C3aR/C5aR) Signaling.
TLR stimulation has been shown by others to prevent costimulatory blockade-induced allograft tolerance. Immune cell derived complement activation products C3a and C5a amplify inflammation, enhance…2016 American Transplant Congress
Black Ethnicity as a Risk Factor for Poor Kidney Allograft Outcomes Post-Transplantation.
Introduction: Registry studies, largely from the United States, have consistently demonstrated inferior outcomes for black patients undergoing renal transplant. A recent Canadian publication has challenged…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Cardiovascular Risk Factors Affect Kidney Allograft Survival: A Multi-Center Study in Korea.
Background - Pre- or post-transplant cardiovascular (CV) risk factors affect the development of CV events even after successful kidney transplantation (KT). However, the impact of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes After Splenectomy for Small-for-Size Syndrome in Live Donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplantation, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: The use of lower volume liver grafts has the potential to expand the donor pool in adult-to-adult live donor liver transplantation (LDLT), but is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes for Kidney Allograft Recipients with Language Barriers Post-Transplantation – A Comparative Analysis.
Introduction: Patients from ethnic minorities make up an increasing number of recipients of kidney allografts in the UK. Some of these patients have language barriers…2016 American Transplant Congress
Similar Kidney Allograft and Patient Survival in Native Americans Despite Lower Rates of Living Donation and Longer Wait on the Deceased Donor List.
1Nephrology, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix; 2Transplant Surgery, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix.
Previous studies have shown that Native Americans (NAs) have decreased access and inferior outcomes following kidney transplantation. Reviewing our center's experience we wanted to assess…
