Utilization of Hepatitis C Positive Organs in Kidney Transplantation
Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA
*Purpose: The efficacy of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) in HCV has cleared the path for the use of HCV positive donor kidneys into negative recipients.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Validation of New Measures of Self-Efficacy and Decision-Making for Living Donors
*Purpose: Kidney transplants from living donors (LD) impart the best clinical outcomes but have declined substantially over the past 15 years. To intervene with LDs…2020 American Transplant Congress
Lymphoceles in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Incidence, Risk Factors, Outcomes, and Clinical Management
Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Post kidney transplantation, lymphocele development can result in morbidity for the patient and graft. Lacking prior studies in a representative cohort, we aimed to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Longitudinal Study Investigating Characteristics of Human Polyimaviruses Infection after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Human Polyomaviruses (HPyV) infections are extremely common, ranging from 60% to 100% in the general population, depending on the virus. After primary infection, which…2020 American Transplant Congress
Anticipated Observations: The Role of DQ Antigen Frequencies among Donors and Recipients in a Pediatric Renal Transplant Cohort
*Purpose: Donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA) that develop in the face of donor-recipient HLA mismatches are well-established independent predictors of graft loss in solid organ…2020 American Transplant Congress
Complement Activation and Delayed Graft Function after Kidney Transplantation
1Nephrology, Hospital Del Mar, Barcelona, Spain, 2Pathology, Hospital Del Mar, Barcelona, Spain
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damage is the most important cause of delayed graft function (DGF), which has a negative impact on kidney transplant (KT) outcomes. Complement…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Technique for Ex-Vivo Perfusion of Donor Kidneys for Transplantation in the Mouse
*Purpose: Ex-vivo perfusion of donor kidneys is widely employed in the US and significantly reduces DGF. Development of a pre-clinical perfusion technique may provide an…2020 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of 1-Year Incidence of De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies between Thymoglobulin and Alemtuzumab Induction in Kidney Transplantation
Transplant Nephrology, Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA
*Purpose: Development of de novo donor specific antibodies (dnDSA) after kidney transplantation (KTx) has been associated with acute and chronic antibody-mediated rejection, transplant glomerulopathy and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes after Declining Offers from Older Donor Kidneys for Kidney Transplant Candidates
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Older donor kidneys (ODKs) are often declined as they are associated with higher post-transplant mortality and graft loss, yet those who decline may wait…2020 American Transplant Congress
Anti-IL-6 Antibody Clazakizumab in Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection – Molecular Rebound Phenomena Under IL-6 Blockade?
*Purpose: Late antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is well established as a major cause of kidney allograft failure. Targeting interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in B…
