Belatacept Does Not Inhibit Plasmablast Formation Supported by Follicular T Helper Cells, but Favors the Development of Transitional Regulatory B Cells in Kidney Transplant Patients.
Since the costimulatory inhibitor belatacept effectively blocks T-B cell interaction in animal transplant models, we studied the functional follicular T helper cells (TFH)-B cell interaction…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Readmission following Kidney Transplantation: Is Readmission Becoming More Risky?
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
BACKGROUND: Following kidney transplantation, 31% of recipients experience early hospital readmission (EHR) and readmission is independently associated with increased risk of graft loss and mortality.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Treatments Against Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Could Influence FGF23 and Klotho Levels in Renal Transplant Recipients.
Purpose: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ( ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) are frequently used in post transplant hypertension. Recent trials reported that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system…2016 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy and Safety of Direct Antiviral Agents (DAA)-Based Therapies for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection in Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients.
Background: The use of interferon-based regimens for HCV infection in KT recipients is limited due to the increased risk of acute graft rejection (AR), poor…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Machine Perfusion on Long-Term Kidney Transplant Outcomes.
1MUHC, Montreal, Canada; 2JHU, Baltimore.
Machine perfusion (MP) has been shown to decrease DGF rates in kidney transplant (KT) recipients when compared with static cold storage (CS). However, there is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Frailty in KT Recipients of All Ages.
Background: Among KT recipients, frailty increases the risk of DGF, early hospital readmission and mortality. While it is clear that frail KT recipients represent a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Insights into the Treatment of Post-Transplant Focal Glomerulosclerosis: Experience Gained from a Concise Diagnostic and Management Protocol.
Background: Recurrence of Focal Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) after kidney transplantation is associated with poor graft survival. We present results from a concise diagnostic and management protocol…2016 American Transplant Congress
An Improved Method for the Evaluation of Microvascular Inflammation in Renal Allograft Biopsies.
Background: Microvascular inflammation (MVI), assessed as glomerulitis (g) + peritubular capillaritis (ptc), is associated with T cell mediated (CMR) and antibody mediated (AMR) allograft rejection.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Reversibility of Acute Kidney Rejection According to the Banff 2013 Classification: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
1CRCHUM, Montreal, QC, Canada; 2Statsciences, Montreal, QC, Canada; 3HMR, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Vascular involvement of the allograft has classically been regarded as a poor prognostic factor in acute kidney graft rejection. Cell-mediated endarteritis often coexists with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Influence of AKIN Stage on the Outcome of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation (DDKTx).
BackgroundTransplanting kidneys from donors with AKI is one of the methods to minimize the disparity between numbers of listed patient and donor pool. Our aim…
