2018 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Tourism and Invasive Fungal Infection
Deceased and live-related Renal transplant (RTX) are widespread approved methods throughout the world. In-addition, commercial-RTX has gained an access at certain places driven by financial…2018 American Transplant Congress
Diffuse Optical Non-Invasive Organ Risk (DONOR) Indexing Using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy for Pre-Transplant Evaluation
Purpose: Due to large transplant waitlists, a rapid, non-invasive method to evaluate organ quality for transplantation is needed. Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOSi) is an optical…2017 American Transplant Congress
DSA Presence Does Not Affect Renal Histology and Clinical Outcome in Chronic Active Antibody Mediated Rejection.
1Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands; 2Leiden UMC, Leiden, Netherlands
Introduction. Chronic active antibody mediated rejection (caABMR) is a major cause of long term renal allograft dysfunction. It is defined by the presence of microvascular…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identification of NKG2D as Senescence Marker in Zero-Hour Kidney Biopsies Is Indicative for Clinical Outcome.
The definition of biological donor organ age rather than chronological age seems an obvious factor for the establishment of valid pre-transplant risk assessment. We therefore…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Chemokines in Resolution of BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy and Chronicity of Pathology Changes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKN) remains the most common infectious cause of allograft loss after kidney transplantation. We previously demonstrated increased frequency of polyfunctional T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
Improvement in Inflammatory Response Follows Clearance of BKVN.
Intro: Development of BKV nephropathy (BKVN) is a significant risk factor for graft loss. Proximate cause of graft loss is commonly attributed to acute/chronic rejection…2017 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Immunosuppression Adherence After Kidney Transplant and Relationship to Allograft Histology.
Background: Loss of Medicare coverage for immunosuppression 3 years after kidney transplant may be associated with increased nonadherence. The goal of this study was to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Pathologic Characteristics of Acute Rejection After Alemtuzumab Induction in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Alemtuzumab induction (AZI) can be used for early steroid withdrawal in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients. There is evidence that AZI-induced lymphocyte depletion leads to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Digital Image Analysis of Pediatric Liver Allograft Biopsies Correlates with METAVIR Fibrosis Score.
1Children's Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, MO; 2University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS
Background: Serial surveillance biopsies demonstrate post-transplant inflammation and fibrosis in long-surviving pediatric liver allografts. These changes can ultimately lead to cirrhosis and graft failure. However,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Biodistribution of Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells Administered via the Renal Artery in Novel Rat Transplant Model.
Introduction:A novel rodent model of ischaemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) has shown significant improvement in renal function and histology after administration of adipose derived regenerative cells…
