Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction Does Not Increase the Risk of Thrombotic Events in Kidney Transplantation: A Matched Case-Control Study.
Background: Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is the most commonly used induction agent in kidney transplantation (KTx). To date, case reports and in vitro analyses have suggested…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Normothermic Ex Vivo Kidney Perfusion Is a Safe Preservation Technique for Kidney Transplantation: A New Opportunity for the Storage, Assessment and Repair of Kidney Grafts.
Hypothermic kidney storage causes preservation injury. We investigated whether SCS can be safely replaced with prolonged normothermic ex vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP). Right kidneys were…2016 American Transplant Congress
Do We Need Radioisotope Renography in Evaluation of Split Renal Function in Living Kidney Donors?
Introduction: Accurate estimation of split renal function in living kidney donors is important for side-selection and a sufficient long-term residual renal function. The present study…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of New Kidney Allocation System on Transplant Rates for Highly Sensitized Patients-Center Specific Study.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Aim: Our renal transplant program promotes transplant of highly sensitized patients (pts) through desensitization and listing only strong antibodies as unacceptable antigens (UAs). UNOS implemented…2016 American Transplant Congress
