Infections After Alemtuzumab Induction: A Non Issue?
Transplant Institute, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA.
Background: Alemtuzumab is a powerful induction agent that depletes multiple lymphocyte cell lines resulting in leukopenia and/or neutropenia with concerns over infectious complications. This study…2015 American Transplant Congress
BK Virus-Specific Polyfunctional CD8+ T Cells Predicts Successful Control of BK Viremia After Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: BK Virus associated nephropathy (BKN) remains an important cause of graft loss after kidney transplantation. We hypothesized that analysis of the anti-BK virus immune…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of FcγRIIA, FcγRIIIA and C1QA Genes Polymorphism On Infectious Complications Following Renal Transplantation
Department of Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
AIM- Infectious complication is the leading cause of graft and patient loss after renal transplantation (RT). Under immunosuppressive condition when acquired immunity is suppressed, components…2015 American Transplant Congress
Recreational and Lifestyle Infection Risks in Transplant Recipients
Background: Counseling is commonly provided to transplant candidates and recipients concerning “strategies for safer living”, including ways to minimize infection risk.Methods: Patients enrolled in a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of the Gastrointestinal Tract as a Potential Route of Primary Polyomavirus Infection
Detection of Polyomavirus(Py) DNA in metropolitan river water worldwide has led to the suggestion that primary viral infection can occur by the oral route. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Treatment Following Liver Transplantation in the Era of Direct-Acting Antiviral Medications
BACKGROUND: The treatment of HCV is one of the most rapidly changing areas of medical practice. These agents have been shown to be safe and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Adoptive Immunotherapy Using Activated NK Cells Ameliorates the FcγRIIIa Gene Polymorphism-Associated Susceptibility to Post Transplant Bloodstream Infection
Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Background: At ATC 2014, we demonstrated that detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of FcγRIIIa helps predict the susceptibility of liver transplant (LT) recipients to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Early Steroid Withdrawal and Infection Risk in Kidney Transplant Recipients
BACKGROUND: While early steroid withdrawal (ESW) is hypothesized to lower the risk of infection, previous studies failed to demonstrate this benefit. These were limited by…2015 American Transplant Congress
Vaccination to Prevent the High Herpes Zoster Incidence After Renal Transplantation
Introduction: Herpes zoster (HZ) is the clinical manifestation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation and occurs more frequently in people with a suppressed immune system.…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Role of Quantitative Assay of Urinary Decoy Cells as a Screening and Follow-Up Tool in Renal Transplant Recipients With Polyomavirus BK Infection
Polyomavirus BK nephropathy (BKVN) is an important infectious complication in kidney transplant patients. Urinary cytology is effective for early diagnosis of BKVN. However, quantitative assay…
