Differential Effect of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) on Kidney Transplant Outcomes: When Does DGF Not Make a Difference?
Delayed graft function (DGF), defined as need for dialysis in 1st week following kidney transplant (KT), is an early surrogate marker of organ quality and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Enhanced Recovery After Kidney Transplantation: 48 Hour Length of Stay in Living and Deceased Donor Transplant Recipients.
BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after kidney transplantation is a desired outcome with potential value-enhancing benefits of reduced length of stay (LOS), costs, and risk of nosocomial…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Depleting Antibody Induction in Kidney Transplantation: A Paired Kidney Analysis.
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Induction therapy can improve graft survival following kidney transplantation. Organ quality, a major determinant of graft outcomes may act as a confounder in comparative studies…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…2016 American Transplant Congress
Replicative Senescence and Arteriosclerosis After Kidney Transplantation.
BackgroundReplicative senescence is associated with telomere shortening. In native kidneys, obtained prior to transplantation, we recently described and validated a significant association between shorter intrarenal…2016 American Transplant Congress
Preimplant Donor Histology Does Not Improve Discrimination of 5 Year Kidney Allograft Outcomes.
1Nephrology, Duke University Hospital, Durham, NC; 2Nephrology, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Kidney transplantation remains the best treatment option for End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) and the most cost efficient method of renal replacement therapy. However, there is…
