Delayed Graft Function (DGF) is both a transplant outcome and risk factor for graft failure. Kidneys from donors with kidney injury--such as acute renal failure…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Dialysis Prior to Renal Transplantation.
Introduction: To increase access for patients with delayed transplant referral, the new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) recognizes waiting time from the earlier of dialysis initiation…2017 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Circulating AT1R Levels Indicate Heightened Risk for Antibody Mediated Rejection and Graft Failure.
Transplant Surgery, VCUHealth Systems, Richmond, VA
Background.Antibody(Ab) against the angiotensin II receptor(AT1R) can cause antibody mediated rejection(AMR) and graft failure after transplantation. We evaluated whether circulating AT1R is a potential marker…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Computational HLA Matching Algorithm for Improving Donor-Recipient Histocompatibility and Graft Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation.
Introduction: Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching is a central objective of kidney allocation policies, but current assessment of histocompatibility is inadequate. Building on our previous…2017 American Transplant Congress
OPO-Wide Waitlist Size and Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Rate.
1JHU, Baltimore, MD; 2USNA, Annapolis, MD
Substantial geographic disparity exists in access to deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT); mechanisms for the disparity are not fully understood. The relationship between OPO-wide waitlist…2017 American Transplant Congress
Reliability of Donor Kidney Biopsies from Time of Organ Recovery Compared to Immediate Post-Reperfusion Biopsies.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Frozen section or rapid permanent biopsies of donor kidneys are frequently obtained for higher risk kidneys. We sought to investigate agreement between the procurement donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI) Causes Local Release of Free Heme Which Aggravates Inflammation and Contributes to Delayed Graft Function.
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is relevant in solid organ transplantation and contributes to delayed graft function (DGF). In this study, release of free heme after…2017 American Transplant Congress
Post Transplant Outcomes in Hepatitis C Positive Patients.
Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx
