Novel Morphologic Biomarkers of Cardiac Allograft Remodeling are Associated with Multiple Peri- and Post-transplant Inflammatory Processes
*Purpose: It has long been recognized that transplanted hearts develop a stiffened, restrictive physiology at an accelerated rate compared to native hearts. While this is…2021 American Transplant Congress
Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging Allows Quantification of Ischemic Injury During Porcine Normothermic Ex Situ Perfusion
Ajmera Transplant Program, Department of Surgery, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Normothermic Ex Situ Liver Perfusion (NEsLP) is a novel preservation technique for the storage and assessment of grafts retrieved after Donation after Cardio-circulatory Death…2021 American Transplant Congress
Dissecting the Intrarenal Immune Response to Viral Infected Cells in Pediatric BK Virus-associated Nephropathy (BKVAN)
*Purpose: BKVAN is not only a cause of acute renal allograft injury but is a recognized cause of chronic allograft disease and in some patients,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Neonatal Tolerance Induction: Behaviours of Allogeneic Spleen and Bone Marrow Inocula in Neonatal Mice are Largely Determined by the Nature of Their CD8 T Cells
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Injected adult allo-spleen (SC) and bone marrow cells (BMC) traffic to secondary lymphoid organs, proliferate and spread throughout neonatal mice; allo-SC consistently cause acute…2020 American Transplant Congress
Steatosis by PDFF Affects Percent Remnant Liver Regeneration in Living Donors without Impacting on Clinical Outcomes
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Mild steatosis (5-33% of fat) is not expected to affect liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. Novel methods to assess steatosis, such as proton density…2020 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Kidney Transplant Type and Previous Transplant on Baseline Donor-Derived Cell Free DNA
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Donor derived-cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a biomarker useful in predicting acute rejection in renal allografts. The technology uses next generation sequencing and does…2020 American Transplant Congress
Photo Elicitation Interviewing Exposes Educational Discordance Amidst a Web of Resources among Kidney Transplant Recipients
General Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Comprehensive patient education is the bedrock of success for kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Despite the importance, we have a poor understanding of how patients…2020 American Transplant Congress
Hyperspectral Imaging of Human Kidney Allografts
*Purpose: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is capable to deliver non-contact, non-ionizing and non-invasive quantitative diagnostic information about tissue pathology, morphology and composition, based on the spectral…2020 American Transplant Congress
Accelerated Decline in Glomerular Density: An Unrecognized Pathologic Process after Kidney Transplantation
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: Studies in healthy adults have shown that glomerular density slowly declines with older age (-0.5% per decade), and globally sclerotic glomeruli (GSG) slowly increase…2020 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Cortical Wedge Biopsies for Human Organ Research: Does Anatomic Variability Impact Their Utility?
*Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize human kidney anatomic variability both within singular biopsies and between biopsy sites in order to investigate…
