Clinically Relevant Immunosuppression Promotes MCMV Reactivation and Dissemination Following Transplantation of Latently Infected Kidneys.
Reactivation of latent Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important problem facing clinical transplantation. We have previously described a model for murine CMV (MCMV) reactivation following kidney…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor Derived and BK Virus Positive Urologic Cancers After Renal Transplantation.

Aim: This study aimed to: 1) Define the risk factors associated with neutropenia within the first year post kidney or liver transplantation; 2) Describe the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Retroactive Application of a New Risk Index for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation (LKDPI) to Renal Transplants in Veracruz, Mexico.
Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) was designed to estimate the graft loss risk in deceased donor transplants. Recently, the Epidemiology Research Group for Organ Transplantation…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation in HCV+ Recipients in a New Era of Diagnostics and Therapeutics.
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
BackgroundHepatitis-C infected persons (HCV+) evaluated for kidney transplantation receive rigorous staging of their liver disease, often including liver biopsy. Meanwhile, studies have shown that despite…2017 American Transplant Congress
Vimentin Regulates ß-Catenin Translocation During Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Renal Fibrosis.
Sugery, Section of Transplantation, Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY
Introduction: Most renal transplants ultimately fail secondary to chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). The development of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in renal tubular epithelial cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
C-C Chemokine Receptor 5 Polymorphisms and Risk of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Renal Transplantation.
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the leading cause of graft failure after kidney transplantation. C-C Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) plays an important role in immune cell…2017 American Transplant Congress
Early Failure of Kidney Transplants in the Current Era.
Transplantation and Liver Surgery, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland
A. Purpose: The short-term outcome after kidney transplantation has improved substantially, and immunological complications rarely lead to early graft loss. However, a small proportion of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Streamlining Discharge Pathways in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Delayed Graft Function.
Background180 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergo kidney transplantation at the Toronto General Hospital Multi-Organ Transplant Unit yearly. 30% develop delayed graft function (DGF), defined…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin (rATG) 3mg/kg vs. 6mg/kg in Kidney Transplant Patients Under Steroid-Free and CNI Minimization Maintenance Immunosuppressive Regimen.
Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil
Background: rATG dosed from 4.5 to 7.5mg/kg has been the standard of care in most transplant centers. Recent studies have demonstrated similar efficacy with doses…
