Novel Low Dosing of Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin Preserves Excellent Outcomes and Improves the Value of Care in Low Risk Renal Transplantation
University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA.
Elderly and non-sensitized renal transplant patients may benefit from lesser induction immunosuppression. This study evaluates three year clinical outcomes of a low risk renal transplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Adjunctive Corticosteroid Immunosuppression Improves Hyperbilirubinemia Following Liver Transplantation (OLT)
Drexel University, Philadelphia.
Background: Deceased donor orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) can result in significant delayed function, manifesting as protracted hyperbilirubinemia, depending on the intensity of the ischemia/reperfusion injury…2018 American Transplant Congress
Mycophenolic Acid Reduces BK Polyomavirus Replication in an In Vitro Model of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells Infection
Background. BK virus (BKV) nephropathy is an important cause of allograft failure after kidney transplant. Immunosuppression is a recognized risk factor for BKV replication but…2018 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Early Attainment of Everolimus Target Trough Levels on Efficacy-Safety Outcomes in De Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients: 12-Month Results from US92 and TRANSFORM Studies
Purpose: Attainment of everolimus (EVR) target trough level (C0 3-8ng/mL) is crucial in achieving comparable efficacy-safety with EVR+reduced (r) calcineurin inhibitor regimen (CNI; tacrolimus [TAC]…2018 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Graft Survival in Old Recipients is Abrogated by Immunosuppressive Treatment with CTLA4-Ig
Although they represent a rapidly growing population, elderly organ transplant recipients are underrepresented in clinical trials. Age-specific aspects of established immunosuppressants are therefore poorly understood.Here,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Rapid Discontinuation of Prednisone on Kidney Transplant Outcomes in At-Risk Subpopulations: An OPTN/SRTR Analysis
1Public Health, U of MN, Mpls, MN; 2Surgery, U of MN, Mpls, MN.
Objective: Successful RDP (rapid discontinuation of prednisone <1 week post-tx) after kidney transplant (KTx) has been reported for low-risk populations. We studied the impact of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Dynamics of CD25-Positive Myeloid Suppressor Cells in Solid Organ Transplanted Patients and Relationship with Rejection
Background: Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are immature cells with immunosuppressive capacities. Three MDSC subsets are currently defined: monocytic, early stage, and polymorphonuclear MDSC (M-MDSC,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Malignancy Complications after Kidney Transplantation, the Role of Immunosuppression
Introduction: Immunosuppression therapy is essential to avoid rejection after kidney transplantation. The chronic use of this drugs increases the risk of malignancy compared to general…2018 American Transplant Congress
Reduction in Circulating CD19+CD24+CD27+ Regulatory B Cell Frequency Predicts Acute Rejection in Liver Transplant Patients
Liver Transplant Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that regulatory B cells (Bregs) play an important role in modulating inflammation and autoimmune diseases. However, whether Bregs regulate acute liver…2018 American Transplant Congress
Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Belatacept in Adolescent Kidney Transplant Recipients
Purpose: To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of a single dose of belatacept (bela) administered to adolescent kidney transplant recipients (KTR).Methods: In…
