【Introduction】The shortage of kidney donor has limited the treatment of patients with end-stage kidney disease. To use diabetic donor with normal renal function is would…2018 American Transplant Congress
CMV Viremia and Development of CMV-Specific Cytotoxic T-Cells (CMV-Tc) in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: The use of lymphocyte depleting agents (LDA) for induction immunosuppression among renal transplant (tx) recipients raises concern for the increased susceptibility to viral infections,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Achievement of Therapeutic Tacrolimus Levels after Renal Transplantation is Not Associated with Increased Incidence of Early Acute Rejection: Single-Center Results
Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Induction therapy followed by maintenance with a calcineurin inhibitor aims to minimize the incidence of early rejection and optimize the potential for allograft function. However…2018 American Transplant Congress
mRNA Transcript Profiling of 3 Genes in Renal Allograft Biopsies (Bx) Improves Accuracy of Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) Diagnosis in Transplant Recipients Desensitized with IVIG+Rituximab+Immunoglobulin G-Degrading Enzyme of Streptococcus Pyogenes (IdeS)
Background: Multiple molecular signatures specific to ABMR based on gene expression in renal allograft Bx of transplant recipients were reported. Here we assessed mRNA transcript…2018 American Transplant Congress

Introduction: Despite the severe organ shortage, nearly 20% of all deceased donor kidneys procured in the United States are discarded annually. Wait times for kidney…2018 American Transplant Congress
Factors Related to Suboptimal Recovery of Renal Function after Living Donor Nephrectomy
Japanease Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, Kidney Center, Kumamoto, Japan.
Introduction:Renal function of the living donor usually recovers to 60~70 percent of baseline function by compensatory hypertrophy mechanism. However, the degree of this compensatory hypertrophy…2018 American Transplant Congress
