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…2017 American Transplant Congress
Factors in Association with Sepsis Differ Between Simultaneous Pancreas/Kidney and Single Kidney Transplant Recipients.
As immunosuppressive therapy and allograft survival have improved in simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant recipients (SPKTRs), the increased incidence of infection has become a major hurdle of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Graft Loss from Anti-GBM Nephritis: A Rare Event in Alport Syndrome, Even with a Severe COL4A5/A4/A3 Mutation.
Background: Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by mutations in α3/α4/α5 (IV) collagen genes, whose severity determines the progression of AS. Post-transplant outcome is good, though…2017 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Pathologic Characteristics of Acute Rejection After Alemtuzumab Induction in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Alemtuzumab induction (AZI) can be used for early steroid withdrawal in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients. There is evidence that AZI-induced lymphocyte depletion leads to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Accelerated De-Novo Donor-Specific Antibody-Mediated Rejection in a Non-Human Primate Model of Renal Transplantation.
Surgery - Division of Transplantation, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
The development of accelerated antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is associated with early allograft dysfunction and premature graft loss. In animals, pre-sensitization is usually required in order…
