Purpose: This study investigated whether steroid avoidance-protocols adversely influence allograft survival among pediatric kidney transplant recipients at high levels of immunologic risk.Methods: A retrospective cohort…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Early Acute Rejection and Delayed Graft Function on Graft Outcomes at Six Months in Adult Deceased Donor Kidney Recipients.
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
Graft function as determined by GFR is an important predictor of long-term graft and patient survival after deceased donor kidney transplantation. KDPI is an important…2016 American Transplant Congress
Association of Ultrastructural Changes in Renal Allograft Biopsies with Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) and Graft Outcomes.
The role of electron microscopy (EM) in diagnosis of AMR is not well-defined. We sought to examine the EM findings in 796 biopsies from 622…2016 American Transplant Congress
CD57+ CD4 T Cells Persist in the Periphery Following Kidney Transplantation.
1Duke University, Durham; 2Emory University, Atlanta; 3Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Princeton.
Purpose: We have shown that CD57+PD1- CD4 T cells play a role in belatacept-resistant rejection, but their mechanism of action is incompletely defined. Potential mechanisms…2016 American Transplant Congress
Informing Informed Consent for High KDPI Kidneys.
Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
The standard approach to informed consent for high KDPI (KDPI 86-100%) deceased donor kidneys (DDK) relies on anticipated graft half-life and may not provide candidates…2016 American Transplant Congress
