Center-Level Experience and Kidney Transplant Outcomes in HIV-Infected Recipients
Background: Excellent outcomes among HIV+ kidney transplant (KT) recipients have been reported by the NIH consortium, but it is unclear if experience with HIV+ KT…2015 American Transplant Congress
Similar Outcomes Can Be Expected Among HIV (+) Kidney Transplant Recipients (HIV+ Tx) Vs. HIV (-) Kidney Transplant Recipients (HIV- Tx) Receiving Similar Immunosuppression Protocols
Outcomes among HIV+ Tx continue to improve despite the established risk of rejection and calcineurin-nephrotoxicity. We sought to compare outcomes among HIV+ Tx vs. HIV-…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics of HIV Infected Patients Waitlisted for Kidney Transplantation
IntroductionKidney transplantation in HIV+ individuals has been associated with patient and graft survival rates that are comparable to those reported for HIV- populations. Despite this…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Selection and Prophylactic IVIg for Induction Immunosuppression Improves Outcomes for HIV+ Kidney Transplant Recipients (HIV+ Tx)
HIV+ Tx recipients are noted to have higher rates of allorecognition through cellular and humoral mediated pathways. Since 2010, our program instituted IVIg use as…2015 American Transplant Congress
Combined Hepatitic/Cholangiopathic Lesion in HIV-HCV Co-Infected Liver Transplant Recipients Associated With Graft Loss
Background: Co-infection with HIV and viral hepatitis results in poorer outcomes following liver transplantation. In this population, complex immune status, extensive drug regimens, and comorbid…2015 American Transplant Congress
Estimated Prevalence of HIV in Kidney Transplant Candidates
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
The passage of the HOPE Act in November 2013 mandated research into HIV+ to HIV+ organ transplantation. To date, the prevalence of HIV in the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Regimen on Outcomes in HIV + Renal Transplant Recipients
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston.
Renal transplant in HIV+ patients (pts) is complicated by high rates of acute rejection (AR). Protease inhibitors (PIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have…2015 American Transplant Congress
Geographic Differences in HIV+ Kidney Transplant Waitlist Characteristics
Kidney transplant (KT) is now a viable option for select HIV+ end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. As OPTN does not collect HIV status at waitlisting,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Survival Benefit of Liver Transplant Among HIV+ Waitlist Candidates
Liver failure is the most common cause of non-AIDS related death among HIV+ patients, primarily due to high prevalence of co-infection with hepatitis C (HCV)…
