Non-Invasive Proteomics to Detect Biomarkers for Kidney Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Non-invasive biomarkers are needed for monitoring patients to predict early acute rejection (AR). We hypothesized that protein biomarkers released from rejecting allograft tissues can…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary TIMP-2 Predicts the Presence and Duration of Delayed Graft Function in DCD Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) are promising biomarkers in acute kidney injury. Here, we investigated the performance…2018 American Transplant Congress
C1q-Binding Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies for Clinical Decision Making in Kidney Recipients with Antibody-Mediated Rejection Receiving Standard of Care Treatment
One of the major issues in the clinical management of kidney recipients with ABMR is the lack of early and reliable markers that surrogate long-term…2018 American Transplant Congress
Antibody Mediated Kidney Transplant Rejection Treated with Bortezomib – Case Series from a Single Center
Acute antibody mediated kidney transplant rejection (ABMR) is not a frequent complication but may have a catastrophic consequences for graft survival. Between January 2015 and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Immuoadsorption-Based Desensitization in Highly Sensitized Patients Awaiting Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Urgences Néphrologiques et Transplantation Rénale, Tenon Hospital, APHP, Paris, France.
An estimated 30% of patients on the waiting list are deemed highly sensitized due to preexisting anti-HLA antibodies often irrevocably precluding kidney transplantation (KT). Immunoadsorption…2018 American Transplant Congress
Cause of ESRD is Not Associated with Risk of Post-Transplant CMV Infection
University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI.
Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is commonly encountered following kidney transplantation and is associated with patient morbidity and mortality. While preventative pharmacotherapy is used to prevent…2018 American Transplant Congress
Association of Tacrolimus Adherence and Discontinuation with Sepsis Risk among Kidney Transplant Recipients
OBJECTIVE: The association between post-transplant tacrolimus exposure and sepsis risk is currently unknown. We examined the associations of tacrolimus adherence and discontinuation with sepsis risk…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Anticoagulation Therapy Modifications during the Index Hospitalization on Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether changing anticoagulation medications during the index admission for kidney transplant (KT) is significantly associated with…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hospitalization, Dialysis Center Type, and Disparities in ESRD Survival and Waitlist Access
Surgery, Emory University, Atlanta, GA.
Background: Excess hospitalization has been shown to reduce kidney transplant waitlist survival and likelihood of transplant. We studied hospitalization as a predictor of waitlist access…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Providers Can't Let Go! An Analysis of an RN Driven Tacrolimus Dose Adjustment Protocol
Introduction: Tacrolimus (FK) dose adjustment is frequently performed by non-MD staff. Standard protocols to evaluate the ability of non-providers to maintain pts within a goal…
