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
Hepatitis C (HCV) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after kidney transplant (KTx). We aimed to assess outcomes of HCV positive patients at our…2017 American Transplant Congress
Full Dose Cyclosporine Permanently Reverses Uncontrolled BK Viremia That Is Refractory to Tacrolimus Minimization.
Medicine, UCSD School of Medicine, San Diego, CA
Latent BK infection is benign and common in transplanted kidneys, but active infection causes viremia and kidney damage. Standard practice is to reduce tacrolimus (TAC)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Benefits of Expanding Options for Patients Registered in the Kidney Paired Donation Program.
University of Toledo, Toledo, OH
Introduction: Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) programs play an important role in facilitating exchanges of incompatible donors. We reviewed the outcome of 1121 patients who were…2017 American Transplant Congress
Low Incidence of Acute Rejection within the Six Months After Transplantation in HIV Recipients Treated with Raltegravir, the ANRS 153 Treve Trial.
Renal transplantation is safe and effective in HIV patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). High rates of acute rejection (AR) have been reported because…2017 American Transplant Congress
T-Cell Aging Parameters in the Lymph Node and Peripheral Blood Are Strongly Associated but Terminally Differentiated T Cells Are Mainly Located within the Circulation.
IntroductionAgeing is associated with changes in the peripheral T-cell immune system, which can be significantly influenced by latent cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infection. Therefore, we wanted to investigate…
