The Impact of the Kidney Allocation System on Outcomes for Kidneys with KDPI > 85%.
Single center outcomes were examined to assess the impact of the implementation of the Kidney Allocation System (KAS) on outcomes for kidneys with KDPI >85%.Methods:…2017 American Transplant Congress
Validation of CYP4F11 as a Marker of Accommodation in Biopsies from Recipients of an ABO-Incompatible Renal Transplant.
Recipients of an ABO incompatible transplant have circulating anti-AB antibodies, A and/or B antigens expressed on endothelium and usually C4d deposition on the endothelium, yet…2017 American Transplant Congress
Postoperative Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase Is a "Troponin-Like" Marker of Renal Transplant Distress.
UCSD Center for Transplantation, University of California at San Diego, San Diego, CA
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is plentiful in renal tubular cells and is released during tubular injury or death. It increases for several days to 1500-2000 U/L…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ciprofloxacin for Urinary Tract Infection Prophylaxis in Post-Renal Transplant Patients with Ureteral Stent Placement.
Hume-Lee Transplant Center, Virginia Commonwealth University Health, Richmond, VA
BackgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection post renal transplant. Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX-TMP) is often the antibiotic drug of choice due to prophylaxis coverage…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Chemokines in Resolution of BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy and Chronicity of Pathology Changes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKN) remains the most common infectious cause of allograft loss after kidney transplantation. We previously demonstrated increased frequency of polyfunctional T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
Low-Dose Valganciclovir for Cytomegalovirus Prophylaxis in Intermediate Risk Renal Transplants: A Single Center Experience.
1Infectious Diseases, Yale University, New Haven, CT; 2Pharmacy, YNHH, New Haven, CT
IntroductionCurrent guidelines on cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis following organ transplant recommend using valganciclovir (VGCV) 900 mg daily for high (CMV D+/R-) and intermediate (CMV R+) risk…2017 American Transplant Congress
BKV Clearance Time Correlates with T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Shape and Exhaustion State of BKV-Specific T-Cells in Renal Transplant Patients with Severe BKV Infection.
Reactivation of the BK polyomavirus is known to lead to severe complications in kidney transplant patients. The current treatment strategy relies on decreasing the immunosuppression…2017 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Significance of Peritubular Capillaritis in Early Transplant Kidney Biopsies of Donor-Specific Antibody Negative Patients.
Montefiore Medical Center Transplant Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx
Background: Peritubular capillaritis (PTC) is a part of microvascular inflammation seen in antibody-mediated rejection. However, it can be observed as an isolated lesion in early…2017 American Transplant Congress
Increased Pro-Inflammatory and Decreased Interferon-Related Gene Expression in Older as Compared with Younger Kidney Transplant Recipients.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
Older transplant recipients experience increased rates of death and infection as compared with younger patients. Our previous studies demonstrated increased frequency of terminally differentiated and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Value of Renal Transplant Scintigraphy for the Duration of Delayed Graft Function.
Background: Renal scintigraphy (RS) is a widely used test for the assessment of the transplanted kidney (KTX). As RS cannot reliably distinguish between rejection and…
