CMV-Specific CD8+ T-Cell Immune Competence Score as Predictor of Outcome for CMV Infection after Transplantation
Introduction: Control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after solid organ transplantation (SOT) requires a functional immune system. We assessed the utility of a flow cytometric assay…2018 American Transplant Congress
How Safe is Immunosuppression Maintenance 1 Year after Renal Allograft Failure?
University of Florida, Gainesville.
In 2013, our center opened a specialty clinic to maintain immunosuppression (IS) after renal graft failure in an attempt to minimize further sensitization in retransplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Building a Third-Party VST Bank from Scratch- The Cincinnati Experience
BackgroundViral infections remain a challenge to treat and significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. Virus specific T cells (VSTs) have shown clinical efficacy, with minimal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Polyclonal Cellular Immune Function is Dose-Dependently Inhibited by Immunosuppressive Drugs but Has Limited Value in Predicting Infection or Rejection Episodes
1Saarland University, Homburg/Saar, Germany; 2Saarland University, Homburg/Saar, Germany.
Background: Dosage of immunosuppressive drugs in transplant patients must be balanced to prevent graft rejection and infectious complications. Knowledge on general immune function may therefore…2018 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcomes of Patients with BK Viremia in ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation and Comparison with ABO-Compatible Kidney Transplantation
Internal Medicine, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background and Aim:ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOiKT) recipients may have an increased risk of BK virus allograft nephropathy (BKVAN), a major cause of renal dysfunction and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis is an Independent Risk Factor for Development of Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplantation
1Weill Cornell, NY, NY; 2Memorial Sloan Kettering, NY, NY.
INTRODUCTION. We examine the relationship between the gut microbiota and development of Escherichia and Enterococcus urinary tract infections (UTIs).METHODS. We recruited 170 kidney transplant recipients…2018 American Transplant Congress
Brincidofovir for Disseminated Adenovirus in Kidney and Kidney-Pancreas Transplant Recipients: Report of a Case Series
Background: Adenoviruses (AdV) are DNA viruses that can cause significant morbidity and mortality rates up to 50% with disseminated disease. The incidence post-renal transplantation is…2018 American Transplant Congress
Follow-Up and Outcomes of Epstein-Barr Virus Negative Recipients after a Kidney Transplant from an Epstein-Barr Virus Positive Donor
Introduction: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most serious complications of chronic immunosuppression after an organ transplant. One of the major risk factors…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of High Dose Acyclovir Cytomegalovirus Prophylaxis Failure in Abdominal Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Purpose: To describe the long-term clinical impact of high-dose acyclovir (HD-A, 800 mg 4 times daily) cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis failure in the seropositive (R+) abdominal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Microbiome Associated with Chronic Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplants
Background: Microbiome dysbiosis can lead to poor outcomes after kidney transplant (tx) presumably due to immune dysregulation elicited by the microbiome. We hypothesize that chronic…
