In-Situ Tissue-Based Gene Expression Profiling is a Reliable Method to Detect Gene Transcripts in Human Kidney Transplant Biopsies
Purpose. Validation studies that would enable the clinical application of quantitative in situ tissue-based gene expression profiling in renal transplantation are lacking. In this study,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Real-Time Expert Evaluation of Liver Biopsy for Transplant: The Significance of Smartphone and Microscope Adapter in Telepathology
Introduction: Liver biopsy at the time of procurement plays a crucial role in the acceptance of marginal grafts. Local pathologists and transplant surgery fellows are…2018 American Transplant Congress
Liver Biopsy Fibrosis Not Liver Imaging Predicts Survival after Heart Transplant
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles.
Purpose: Hepatic dysfunction is common in patients with cardiomyopathy being evaluated for heart transplant (HT). ISHLT guidelines highlight the need for liver evaluation in patients…2018 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Transplant Kidneys Using a Novel Point of Care 3D Ultrasound System
1Duke University, Durham, NC; 2Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA.
Purpose: The clinical utility of two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound (US) in the evaluation of renal transplant patients is limited by user dependence and restricted planar image…2018 American Transplant Congress
Assessing Fibrosis Burden in Renal Allograft with Chronic Damage Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: Renal allograft fibrosis burden is a strong prognosticator for chronic damage and can only be accurately measured through transplant biopsy at present. We hypothesized…2017 American Transplant Congress
Testing the Efficacy of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound in Detecting Transplant Rejection Using a Murine Model of Heart Transplantation.
One of the key unmet needs to improve long-term outcomes of heart transplantation is to develop accurate, non-invasive and practical diagnostic tools to detect transplant…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Value of Renal Transplant Scintigraphy for the Duration of Delayed Graft Function.
Background: Renal scintigraphy (RS) is a widely used test for the assessment of the transplanted kidney (KTX). As RS cannot reliably distinguish between rejection and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Imaging Cell Biology in Transplantation.
Background: Following transplantation, a set of coordinated events occurs within the recipient immune system. Immature dendritic cells (DCs) migrate to sites of inflammation, become activated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Myocardial Improvement Six Months After Kidney Transplantation: Non-Contrast Cardiac Resonance Study.
Internal Medicine, Botucatu School of Medicine, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil
INTRODUCTION: Patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, considering left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) an independent risk for…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Quantitative CD45 Immunohistochemical Assay Allows Precise and Reproducible Measurement of Inflammation in Renal Transplant Biopsies.
1UCSF, San Francisco, CA; 2Rho, Chapel Hill, NC.
Purpose: Total inflammation (TI) is an important variable for the pathologic work-up of transplant kidney biopsies (TxBx) in the Banff schema. However, current standard pathologic…
