*Purpose: Frailty is highly prevalent in kidney disease, with prevalence estimates as high as 73% in patients at the time of dialysis initiation compared to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Incident Malignancies among Post Kidney-Transplant Patients by Type of Induction Immunosuppression and by Age
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Adult kidney-transplant (KT) recipients have a differential risk of malignancies based on their induction immunosuppression (IS) therapy. However, older recipients are more likely to…2020 American Transplant Congress

Gene Expression Dynamics Demonstrate Perturbations in Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Kidney Transplantation Patients with Cytomegalovirus Viremia
University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and disease continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant patients with clinical complications including organ rejection and death.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Donor Derived Cell Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) and Gene Expression Signatures of Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) May Improve Accuracy of ABMR Diagnosis (Dx)
*Purpose: Dd-cfDNA has a clinically meaningful association with early Dx of ABMR. Here, we evaluated dd-cfDNA measured prior to for-cause biopsies (Bx), and also measured…2020 American Transplant Congress
Patient Reported Medication Nonadherence and Tolerability: Results of a Prospective Observational Study
*Purpose: Medication nonadherence (MNA) is a major contributor to late allograft loss in transplantation (txp). Immunosuppression therapy is highly effective at preventing rejection yet presents…2020 American Transplant Congress
Early Steroid Withdrawal in HIV+ Kidney Transplant Recipients is Associated with Increased Acute Rejection by 1 Year
*Purpose: Kidney transplantation among HIV+ recipients (HIV+ KT) is increasing, with excellent outcomes. Acute rejection (AR), however, is 2-3-fold more common than in HIV- KT.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Recurrent Diabetic Nephropathy Post Kidney Transplant is Associated with High Risk of Mortality
*Purpose: The goal of the study was to determine the incidence of recurrent diabetic kidney disease (DKD) after kidney transplantation (KT) and assess its correlation…
