Regulatory T Cells Inhibit Plasmablast Formation and IgG Production by Tempering T Follicular Helper Cell Function.
Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
Background: Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are an important biomarker for acute rejection, transplant glomerulopathy and late allograft failure in kidney transplantation. Few studies have characterized the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prognostic Tools to Choose Candidates for Successful Desensitization.
1Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; 2Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD
Antibodies to donor HLA antigens are a barrier to solid organ transplantation. Strategies to desensitize patients have improved, but the ability to predict response to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lack of Utility of KDPI in Dual Kidneys from Donors at the Extremes of Age.
Transplant, Wake Forest Baptist Health, Winston-Salem, NC
The study purpose was to analyze outcomes in recipients of pediatric dual en bloc (EB) kidneys from small pediatric donors (SPDs, age ≤ 3 years)…2017 American Transplant Congress
MicroRNAs Differentiate Between Antibody and T-Cell Mediated Renal Allograft Rejection.
Purpose: MicroRNAs are important immune regulators of gene and protein expression. Both circulating and intragraft expression of microRNAs have been related to renal allograft rejection.…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Feared Five Fungal Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients: 20-Year Experience at a Midwestern Center.
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are increasing in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Here we present our experience with five feared IFIs in KTR transplanted between 01/01/1994…2017 American Transplant Congress
HIV and Cognitive Impairment in Kidney Transplant Candidates.
Both HIV-infection and end stage renal disease (ESRD) are independently associated with neurocognitive decline. However, the combined impact of these diseases remains unclear, particularly among…2017 American Transplant Congress
Treatment and Outcomes of Simultaneous Acute Rejection and Polyomavirus Allograft Nephropathy.
University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD
Background: Reduction of immunosuppression for polyomavirus allograft nephropathy (PVAN) is associated with risk of acute rejection (AR), and in uncommon cases both are present together…2017 American Transplant Congress
Associations Between Provision of Transplant Pharmacy Services and Center-Level Patient and Graft Outcomes in U.S. Adult Kidney Transplant Programs.
As a follow up to a U.S. transplant pharmacist workforce survey in 2013-14 (AJT 2015;15:2683-90), we assessed associations between transplant pharmacist involvement and daily activities…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immune Activation and Rejection Risk in HIV-Positive Kidney Transplantation.
Division of Transplantation, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
Purpose: HIV+ kidney transplant recipients experience higher rates of rejection episodes when compared to HIV- recipients. We hypothesize that this early, aggressive rejection is associated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Classifier of Antibody-Mediated Rejection Is a Better Predictor of Histologic Rejection Than a Corresponding Transcript Set and Is Further Improved When Combined with Classifiers of Rejection Syndromes.
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Molecular and histologic changes in graft rejection are not completely specific, often being induced by injuries and other diseases. We examined various methods for using…
