De Novo, Non-Donor Specific HLA Antibodies Are Associated with Inferior Allograft Outcomes After Kidney and Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas Transplantation.
Introduction: Donor specific antibodies [DSAs] occurring after transplantation are associated with poorer outcomes. However the significance of non-donor directed HLA antibodies [ndHLAs] after transplantation in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Specific Gene Expression Signature of Complement-Activating Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Allografts.
Complement-binding anti-HLA DSA have demonstrated higher rejection rate and decreased allograft survival. However, their specific effects on rejection pathogenesis have not been identified. We investigated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Presence of Complement Activating Donor Specific Antibodies Is Associated with Poor Renal Allograft Survival: Two Centre Retrospective Study.
Introduction: Complement fixing donor specific antibodies (DSA) as detected by presence of C3d at the time of rejection is associated with poor graft outcome;no studies…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Operative Desensitization for Live Donor Liver Transplantation with Strong Donor-Specific Antibodies.
Background: Presence of strong donor-specific antibodies (DSA) (MFI>4000) likely results in uncomplicated short-term outcome in whole liver transplants due to absorption of DSA by the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Treating Refractory Liver Allograft Rejection with Photopheresis.
DSAs with persistent high titer alloantibodies are associated with refractory antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and liver injury.METHODS: We present 4 liver transplant (LT) patients refractory…2017 American Transplant Congress
Graft Survival in De Novo Donor-Specific Antibodies and Positive Flow Crossmatch Kidney Transplants Is influenced by Class I and Class II.
Patients with de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) show inferior graft survival in numerous small studies. We assessed the effect of dnDSA on graft and patient…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant HLA-Specific B Cell Breadth of Reactivity in a Novel Multiplex Bead-Based Assay Predicts Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
1Northwestern University, Chicago; 2Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York
Introduction: Recipients with broad sensitization to HLA defined by a high percentage of Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) are at higher immunologic risk for poor graft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of 100 ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplants: A Single US Center Experience.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
IntroductionAcceptable patient and graft outcomes of ABO incompatible (ABOi) living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) have been reported with the use of desensitization strategies. Data on…2017 American Transplant Congress
Eliminating False Positive Virtual Crossmatch Results for Lung Transplant Candidates by Using Multiple Antibody Testing Platforms.
Purpose: At present, immunologic risk for lung transplant patients is evaluated based on Virtual crossmatch (VXM) by comparing recipient's HLA antibodies detected by Single antigen…2017 American Transplant Congress
Timing of HLA Testing as a Means of Reducing Cost and Increasing Efficiency of Living Kidney Donation.
Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY
Purpose: Creating an effective living kidney donor process can be a challenge for transplant centers. There needs to be a balance between efficiency, resources, patient…
