Outcome Analysis of Renal Re-Transplantation Compared to a Matched Control Group of First Transplantation
Background: 15% of our renal transplant program is re-transplantation (Tx2). We aimed to know if Tx2 has a higher risk than first transplantation (Tx1) and…2017 American Transplant Congress
De Novo Use of Everolimus Reduces Late-Onset Cytomegalovirus Primary Disease Occurring After Antiviral Prophylaxis Discontinuation in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Donor (D)+/recipient (R)- serostatus is critically associated with an higher risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease. Antiviral prophylaxis is conventionally used in such…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Combined Effects of Induction Regimens and Antiviral Prophylaxis on the Risk of CMV Infection in Different Serostatus Subgroups After Liver Transplantation.
Introduction: Simultaneous effects of anti-CMV prophylaxis and induction regimens on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after liver transplantation (LTRs) have not been studied. We determined the magnitude…2017 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Utility of Viral miRNA in Urinary Exosomes to Diagnose BK Virus Nephropathy After Kidney Transplantation.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) demonstration of BK viral replication in plasma and urine supports the diagnosis of BK virus nephropathy (BKVN), an important cause of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Uromodulin and Toll-Like Receptor 4 Levels Predict Susceptibility to Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection After Renal Transplantation.
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) remains the most common bacterial infection after kidney transplantation (kTx) and is associated with reduced allograft function as well as…2017 American Transplant Congress
Early Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation When Comparing Waist-to-Hip Ratio vs. Body Mass Index.
Introduction - High body mass index (BMI) is a concern for kidney transplantation due to wound infections and other surgical complications. BMI has been used…2017 American Transplant Congress
Causes and Long-Term Consequences of Diarrhea After Kidney Transplantation.
BackgroundThe causes and effects of diarrhea on graft outcomes have been poorly investigated in a large cohort of well-phenotyped kidney transplant recipients (KT). The epidemiological…2017 American Transplant Congress
Co-Stimulation Blockade to Minimize and Withdraw Long Term Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNI) in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplant (SPK).
The NIH multicenter CTOT-15 trial tested the hypothesis that use of belatacept (bela) could minimize or eliminate long-term CNI use in simultaneous pancreas and kidney…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kinetics of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAemia in CMV Mismatch Solid Organ Transplant Patients with Primary CMV Infection.
Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Despite antiviral prophylaxis, CMV infection is common in CMV mismatch (D+/R-) patients. We aimed to study the kinetics of CMV viral load in primary CMV…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Active Screening for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae among Liver Transplant Recipients.
Background: Preventive strategies to combat the transmission of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) include the use of active screening for CRE colonization; however, this approach is not…
