The Effect of Donor-Recipient Relationship on the Immunologic Outcome in Living Kidney Transplantation.
Nephrology, Charite Campus Mitte, Berlin, Germany.
Background. Presensitization and degree of HLA-matching influences immunologic outcome and kidney graft survival. Thus the donor-recipient relationship may influence incidence of immunologic events and outcome…2016 American Transplant Congress
Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Sick Patients with MELD Score ≥ 35.
Background: The liver transplant candidates with MELD score ≥ 35 were very sick and with high mortality without liver transplantation. All these patients are in…2016 American Transplant Congress
United States versus Australia: Is "Percentage Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate" Truly a Surrogate Outcome in Graft Survival?
Purpose: A previous study conducted in Australia and New Zealand examined the utility of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline as a surrogate marker for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Why Are Pancreas Transplants Declining in the United States in the Past Decade?
In the past decade, the annual number of pancreas transplants (PTxs) in the US has steadily declined coincident with increasing numbers of PTxs performed outside…2016 American Transplant Congress
Circulating Immune Complexes of IgA Bound to Beta 2 Glycoprotein I Is a Predictive Marker for Graft Loss in Patients Positive for IgA aB2GPI.
Immunology, Instituto de Investigación Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain.
Pretransplant IgA anti Beta-2-Glycoprotein 1 antibodies (IgA aB2GPI) is a risk marker for early kidney graft lost, mainly by thrombosis. About 30% of patients are…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Arterial and Venous Conduits for Vessel Reconstruction in Liver Transplantation.
Background: The use of hepatic artery (HA) and portal vein (PV) conduits is a recognised alternative technique in vessel reconstruction during liver transplantation. The hepatic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Donor and Recipient CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 Genotypes on Outcomes in Liver Transplants.
Liver transplantation is a life-saving technique for patients with end-stage liver disease. Pharmacogenetics is promising to explain a part of variability of calcineurin inhibitors efficacy…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Retrospective Study of Simultaneous Bilateral Nephrectomies and Renal Transplantation in Recipients with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Background: Many strategies regarding timing of native nephrectomies exist for patients with symptomatic polycystic kidney disease (PCKD). We hypothesize that the timing of bilateral nephrectomies…2016 American Transplant Congress
High-Risk Age Window for Graft Loss in Pediatric Lung and Heart Transplant Recipients.
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
Late adolescence and early adulthood is a high-risk age window for pediatric kidney graft loss, though not for pediatric liver graft loss. It is unknown…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Pretransplant Non-Donor-Specific HLA Immunization: Mainly Class 1 Immunization Leads to Poor Immunologic Outcome and Graft Loss.
Nephrology, Charite, Berlin, Germany.
Background Anti-HLA immunization measured as Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) is known to have a negative impact on patient and graft survival. The influence of pre-transplant…
