Survey of Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Usage for Kidney Transplant Induction Therapy in the United States
Background: Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) has become the most widely used induction agent in kidney transplantation (KTx) and has recently received FDA approval for this…2018 American Transplant Congress
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Sensor IRE1α Deficiency Promotes Infiltrating Macrophage Polarization and Induces Long-Term Renal Allograft Acceptance in Mice
Objective: Macrophage is involved in the pathogenesis of I/R injury and allograft rejection. However, the mechanisms underlying this is vastly unknown. This study aims to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Preformed Donor-Reactive T-Cells That Persist after ABO Desensitization Independently Predict Severe Acute Cellular Rejection after Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
Donor-reactive T-cells have been suggested to impact allograft outcome due to a higher incidence of acute celluar rejection. These donor-reactive memory T-cells rapidly acquire effector…2018 American Transplant Congress

Unbiased Sequencing of Urine Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA) to Evaluation Urine Virome and Associated Renal Allograft Damage
Intro: Virus reactivation leading to graft damage is a frequent post-kidney transplant (KTx) complication. Immunosuppressed individuals are at risk for multiple virus infections simultaneously. Current…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Aorto-Iliac Calcifications on Patient and Graft Survival in Renal Transplant Recipients Using the TASC II Classification
Introduction: Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the therapy of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease. Aorto-iliac calcifications (AIC) are a relative contra-indication for KTx, even…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Results of the PRISM (Prediction of Rejection In Sensitized Patient Blood SaMples) Trial with a Novel Bioassay
Surgery and Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco.
Background. kSORT, a 17 gene blood biomarker, has been retrospectively validated for detection of BPAR and immune quiescence in kidney tx. This is the first…2018 American Transplant Congress
Primary Cytomegalovirus Infection in Seronegative Kidney Transplant Patients is Associated with Prolonged Cold Ischemic Time of Seropositive Donor Organs
Introduction: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is still a major risk factor for immunocompromised patients, e.g. kidney recipients. Based on the CMV serostatus of donor (D)…
