AT1R Antibody Analysis: High Proportion of Non-Specific Reactivity?
INTRODUCTION:The angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) is expressed on vascular endothelium. AT1R antibodies (Ab) have been studied to examine their relevance in renal and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Immuoadsorption-Based Desensitization in Highly Sensitized Patients Awaiting Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Urgences Néphrologiques et Transplantation Rénale, Tenon Hospital, APHP, Paris, France.
An estimated 30% of patients on the waiting list are deemed highly sensitized due to preexisting anti-HLA antibodies often irrevocably precluding kidney transplantation (KT). Immunoadsorption…2018 American Transplant Congress
HLA Desensitization Using Rituximab/ Immunoadsorption before Kidney Transplantation
Nephrology, Hemodialyis, Apheresis and Transplantation, CHU Grenoble-Alpes, Grenoble, France.
Introduction: Many kidney-transplant (KT) candidates are sensitized against HLA-antigens, making it difficult to find a suitable HLA-compatible donor. Pretransplant HLA-desensitization strategies have shown improved patient…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pretransplant Use of Rituximab is Associated with Posttransplant Malignancies Events and Death by Neoplasia in Incompatibility Living Donor Kidney Transplants
Introduction: Incompatibilities is a challenge in kidney transplantation. Potent immunosuppression approach based on desensitization protocols (DS) are usually needed; However, controversies in results and lack…2017 American Transplant Congress
Differential Effect of Antibody Removal on ABO Blood Group Type Chain Specific Antibodies Over Time.
Introduction: The trisaccharide epitope defines A&B blood group antigens where antibody binds to subtype chains (I-VI), but only subtype II is expressed on cardiac vascular…2016 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Non-A2 Donor ABO-Incompatible Liver Transplantation – Promising Results with Anti-A/B Antibody Reduction Both Pre- and Post-Transplant.
IntroductionOne way to expand the donor pool for patients with acute liver failure could be to use deceased donor (DD) ABO-incompatible (ABOi) liver grafts. However,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Successful Transplantation in ABO- and HLA-Incompatible Kidney-Transplant Patients.
Introduction: ABO-incompatible (ABOi) and HLA-incompatible (HLAi) kidney transplantation using living donors is common place; however, few data have reported on the outcomes of ABOi/HLAi living-kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
ABO Incompatible Living Related Kidney Transplantation: Results of a Matched-Pair Analysis with ABO Compatible Living Donation.
Background: Organ shortage has led to an increase in living related kidney transplantation of ABO compatible (ABOc) as well as ABO incompatible (ABOi) organs. Here…2015 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplantation Immunoadsorption Can Be Safely Withheld After ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation
Background: After ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation, postoperative plasma exchange (PE) or immunoadsorption (IA) is performed per protocol or depending on postoperative A/B-titers to prevent acute rejection.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Desensitization Protocol and Cancer Risk in Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: Desensitization (DS) in kidney transplant is a current therapy for all cause of incompatible living donor kidney transplants (LDKT). The impact in cancer risk…
