The Effect of Everolimus and Tacrolimus Exposure Levels on Renal Histology Parameters 6 Months Post-Transplantation.
We examined renal histology scores in patients with different exposure levels of everolimus (EVR) and tacrolimus (TAC) over 6 months.Renal transplant patients (N=613) were randomized…2016 American Transplant Congress
Using Gastrointestinal Biopsy to Predict Outcome in Patients Evaluated for Cardiac Transplantation for Amyloidosis: A Report from the International Consortium on Cardiac Amyloidosis Transplantation (iCCAT).
Heart transplant (HT) is an established therapy for heart failure due to amyloidosis. The utility of gastrointestinal (GI) biopsy in predicting patient outcomes and guiding…2016 American Transplant Congress
Plasma Cell Frequency in Renal Rejection After Treatment with Alemtuzumab.
Transplantation, The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH.
Background: The highly successful induction drug Alemtuzumab (Campath) is commonly used prior to renal transplant. Yet, it does not completely ablate plasma cell which, in…2016 American Transplant Congress
Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover: Normal Liver Enzymes After Transplantation Can Be Associated with Pathologies Requiring Intervention.
Background:Liver biopsies are employed post-transplant generally to evaluate abnormal liver enzymes (LE); however they are not without risk. Whether post-transplant protocol biopsies (PB) serve any…2016 American Transplant Congress
Digital Kidney Biopsy Evaluation: Quantification of Macrophage Prevalence in a Cross Sectional Study.
Standardized markers based on quantitative and qualitative evaluation of immune cell mass and localization in kidney biopsies may help in diagnosis and prognosis in transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Microvascular Inflammation (MVI) in Kidney Transplant Biopsies (KTxBx) Is Independent of Time Post-Transplant.
Detection of MVI in a KTxBx, often associated with antibody mediated rejection, is associated with a poor prognosis for kidney graft survival. However most information…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reduction of Tacrolimus With Everolimus Addition in Maintenance Immunosuppression Improves Calcineurin Inhibitor-Induced Arteriolopathy in Kidney Allografts
Objectives: Although conversion of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based immunosuppression to everolimus (EVR) has been shown to improve graft function, no histopathological evidence has been reported. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Prospective Study of Renal Function and Histological Changes in Renal Transplant Recipients With Acute Clinical and Subclinical Rejection
Background: To study the impact on renal function and histological changes in patients(pts) with acute clinical rejection(ACR) and subclinical rejection(SCR) from 3 to 12 month(m)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Association Between Histological Abnormalities in Time-Zero Renal Biopsies and Post-Donation eGFR in Live Donors
Time-zero biopsies (T0-RBx) of live-donor kidneys may reveal histological abnormalities at the time of organ recovery. The association between T0-RBx and subsequent kidney function in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Donor and Class II Donor Specific Antibody Predict Interface Activity While Increased Age at Time of Biopsy Predicts Fibrosis in Long-Term Pediatric Liver Allografts With Normal Liver Tests: iWITH Clinical Trial
Background: Although multiple single centers have reported deterioration of pediatric liver grafts in the face of normal liver tests, neither risk nor mechanism is understood.Methods:…
