Kidney after Liver Transplant: A Matched Pair Analysis
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Background: Kidney after liver (KAL) transplantation is the best therapeutic option for patients with ESRD after liver transplantation (OLT). Current allocation policies create a safety…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation in Older Recipients: Preemptive High KDPI Kidney vs. Lower KDPI Kidney after Varying Dialysis Vintage
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Dialysis vintage is an independent predictor of adverse long-term kidney transplant outcomes. Transplantation of "marginal" kidneys also results in inferior outcomes. We sought to analyze…2018 American Transplant Congress
Differences in Rejection and Clinical Outcomes in Obese versus Non-Obese Renal Transplant Recipients Receiving Basiliximab Induction Immunosuppression
Introduction: Basilixiab is a fixed-dose IL-2 receptor antagonist that is used for non-lymphodepleting induction therapy. The impact of obesity on basiliximab pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is…2018 American Transplant Congress
Age Stratified Efficacy and Safety Outcomes of Induction Immunosuppression in Renal Transplantation
Purpose: Rejection and infection remain a leading concern for decreased graft survival after renal transplant (RT). Induction immunosuppression is associated with a decreased risk of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplant Outcome in the Patients with Lupus Nephritis
Background: Despite improvements in overall prognosis in lupus nephritis, 10%-30% of patients with proliferative renal involvement progress to end stage renal disease, and kidney transplantation…2018 American Transplant Congress
Validation of Edmonton Symptom Assessment Survey in Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTR)
Multi-Organ Transplant Program, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Background: Patient-reported outcomes provide important information about symptom and illness experience of patients with chronic medical conditions. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) is a…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long Term IVIG Infusions for Treatment of Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Objectives: The emergence of donor specific antibodies (DSA) after kidney transplantation (Tx) is associated with lower graft survival. The benefit of using intravenous gamma globulin…2018 American Transplant Congress
Intra- versus Extra-Peritoneal Approaches in Renal Transplantation of Adult-Sized Kidneys for Children Weighting under 15kg – A Single Center Study
Purpose:Renal transplantation (RTx) of adult-sized kidneys leads to size-mismatch for small pediatric recipients. The aim of this study reveals the outcomes between intra- and extra-peritoneal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder after Kidney Transplantation: A Single Institute Experience with Focus on Epstein-Barr Virus Status
Background: Comparing to other types of solid organ transplant, the Post-Transplant Lymphopro- liferative Disorder (PTLD) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is relatively rare. Due to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Renal Allograft Cortical Perfusion Quantification by 3D-Arterial Spin Labeling Could Be Used to Identify Subclinical Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is now the most principal post-surgical complication complicating allograft long-term survival. Therefore, its early detection before serum creatinine rises/estimated glomerular filtration…
