Impact of Pretransplant Pregnancy On Immunization and Immunologic Outcome in Kidney Transplantation
BACKGROUND:The detailed impact of pretransplant pregnancy on HLA alloimmunization and outcome after kidney transplantation is so far not well known.PATIENTS AND METHODS:A retrospective single center…2015 American Transplant Congress
HLA-Cw Mismatches Are Not Associated With Worse Graft Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation Even in High Levels of Antigen Expression
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland; 2University of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt.
The HLA-Cw antigens are distinct in having relatively lower expression on the cell surface compared to the other HLA class I loci. Higher HLA Cw…2015 American Transplant Congress
Human Leukocyte Antigen Mismatch and Steroid Maintenace in Kidney Transplantation
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with zero/minimal HLA mismatches against their donors enjoy superior long term outcomes related to diminished immune response of the recipient against…2015 American Transplant Congress
“Unexpected” Positive Crossmatchs in Zero-HLA-A-B-DR Mismatched or HLA-DR-Matched Organs
Deceased donor kidney allocation is currently prioritized by HLA-A,-B and-DR serologic matching, which disregards both specificity at the allele level, and the contributions of HLA-C,-DQ,…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Differential Effect of HLA-DQ Mismatching on Renal Allograft Survival in Zero HLA-A,B,DR Mismatched Deceased Donor Transplants
1University of Florida, Gainesville; 2University of Kansas, Kansas City.
The role of HLA-DQ matching in renal graft survival is not well understood and difficult to interpret in the presence of other HLA antigen mismatches.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Repeat Donor HLA Mismatch Antigens and Kidney Transplant Outcome
Background: Historically, poorer outcome has been reported in kidney re-transplant patients with repeat HLA mismatch antigens. Transplant practice has evolved. Risk of repeat mismatch antigen…2015 American Transplant Congress
DQB1 Epitope Matching Predicts the Development of De Novo DSA and Antibody Mediated Rejection
HLA DQ antibodies are the commonest de novo [DN] DSA specificity seen post renal transplantation. Their presence is associated with antibody mediated injury and allograft…2015 American Transplant Congress
Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors
Introduction:Acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a rare fatal complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). It involves activation of donor T lymphocytes by antigen…
