Functional Reconstruction of Urogenital Tissue Defects Using VCA: A Novel Microsurgical Penis Transplant Model and Clinical & Histological Rejection Classification
Background: Defects of male urogenital structures subsequent to major trauma are associated with severely reduced function and quality-of-life. As of recent, penis transplantation represents an…2018 American Transplant Congress
Scoring Transplant Glomerulopathy Using Morphometry: Correlation with Banff Criteria
William J.von Liebig Transplant Center, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background: Transplant glomerulopathy (TG) is a prognostic marker for graft survival. Still, scoring TG using the Banff cg-score remains a challenge and no assessments in…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…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Early Clinical and Subclinical T Cell Rejection After Kidney Transplantation.
Medicine and Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of early Clinical(C-TCMR) and Sub-Clinical(SC-TCMR) T Cell Mediated Rejection on short-term allograft histology and function.Methods: We examined adult kidney alone…2017 American Transplant Congress
Subclinical Histologic Findings Are Observed in 25% of Stable Adult Liver Transplant Recipients (ALTRs) Screened for Immunosuppression Withdrawal (ISW): OPTIMAL (NCT02533180).
OPTIMAL is a 6-center ISW study in non-autoimmune, non-HCV ALTRs ≥3 yrs post-transplant (tx). Studies have shown a correlation between portal inflammation associated with tissue…2017 American Transplant Congress
Compartmental Infiltration of Kidney Allograft with Monocyte-Macrophage Subtypes Defines the Type of Rejection.
Purpose: Rejection significantly worsens the graft function and survival. We studied monocyte-macrophage compartmental infiltration of 62 kidney transplant biopsies with diagnosis of: acute antibody mediated…
