Pumping Donor Kidneys Reduces DGF and Improves Allograft Survival without Affecting Rejection Rates
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Recent evidence suggests that hypothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys reduces delayed graft function (DGF), but data is sparse on its effect on allograft rejection.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Microbiome Associated with Chronic Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplants
Background: Microbiome dysbiosis can lead to poor outcomes after kidney transplant (tx) presumably due to immune dysregulation elicited by the microbiome. We hypothesize that chronic…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Combination of Area under Curve of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate for 2 Years and Annual Rate Change of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Predicts Long-Term Graft Survival in Kidney Transplants
Improvement of short-term outcomes in kidney transplant (KT) has required clinical trials to evaluate long-term hard outcomes for validation of new therapies. However, because of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Donor Terminal Creatinine Does Not Appear to Be Associated with Worse Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation
There is justified reluctance to use kidneys from donors with significantly elevated creatinine as they may have severe, irreversible injury. Recently, thanks, in part to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Multi-Drug Resistant Urinary Tract Infections Following Renal Transplant: Risk Factors and Patient Outcomes
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infection after kidney transplant (KTx) resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The reported incidence of UTIs…2018 American Transplant Congress
Reduced Ratio of FoxP3/ RORγt Gene Expression, in Peripheral Blood, is Associated with Acute Allograft Rejection in Recipients with Kidney Transplantation
Introduction:FoxP3 has been well established as an indispensable protein that is required in the development and function of regulatory T cells. On the other hand,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Identifying Patients with CPRA>99.95% Likely to Be Offered Deceased Donor Kidneys
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA.
The implementation of the new kidney allocation system and priority of kidneys for cPRA=100% subjects revealed a hierarchy difference in allocation to patients with cPRA=99.45%-100%.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Hospitals Increase Volumes and Acceptance Rates under the COIIN Project
United Network for Organ Sharing, Richmond.
Introduction. Transplant center performance monitoring is based on one-year patient and graft survival. Through the OPTN contract with HRSA, UNOS created the Collaborative Innovation and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impacts of HBsAg Seropositive Status on Patient and Graft Survival after Kidney Transplantation in the Era of New Antiviral Therapy: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND: An association between HBsAg seropositive status and increased mortality after kidney transplantation has been demonstrated in previous studies over the past decade. Although chronic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Thirty-Six Consecutive Kidney Transplants in Recipients with Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Single-Centre Experience
Background. Due to high recurrence rate, poor kidney transplant (KTx) survival has been reported for recipients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). More recently, prophylaxis…
