ABO Incompatible Living Related Kidney Transplantation: Results of a Matched-Pair Analysis with ABO Compatible Living Donation.
Background: Organ shortage has led to an increase in living related kidney transplantation of ABO compatible (ABOc) as well as ABO incompatible (ABOi) organs. Here…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Small-for-Size Grafts in Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
1Columbia University Medical Center, New York; 2Weill Cornell Medical College, New York.
Lower limit of graft size in adult Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is not well established. This study examines the outcomes with use of small-for-size…2016 American Transplant Congress
Why Do African American Patients Display Disparities in Renal Graft Function Following Renal Transplantation?
Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess disparities in post-operative mortality and graft failure among patients of African and European ancestry undergoing kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Non-Adherence on Disparities in African-American Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Non-adherence is considered to a be a strong risk factor for graft loss in kidney transplant recipients, with conflicting evidence of its impact on…2016 American Transplant Congress
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…
