Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) versus Anti-interleukin-2 Receptor (Anti-IL-2R) as Induction Therapy for Kidney Transplantation After a Nonrenal Transplant.
Patients undergoing kidney transplant after a previous nonrenal organ transplant (NRT) present a small but emerging subpopulation of kidney transplant recipients. Little is known about…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
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…
