Levels of VEGF-C, PLGF and Follistatin at 12 Months Post Transplantation Are Associated with Increased Risk for Long Term Progressive Renal Dysfunction.
*contributed equallyIntroduction Integrity of the microvasculature is critical for long term survival after solid organ transplantation. We hypothesize that biomarkers of endothelial injury and repair…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pulse Pressure and GFR Decay in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Single blood pressure values have commonly been used to assess the risk of allograft failure in kidney transplant recipients. In this analysis we prospectively evaluated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Successful Treatment of Hepatitis C in Renal Transplant Recipients with Directly Acting Antiviral Agents.
Background: Hepatitis C infection (HCV) in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients has been shown to be a risk factor for decreased patient and allograft survival. With…2016 American Transplant Congress
Relationship Between Mean Fluorescence Intensity and C1q/C3d-Fixing Capacities of Anti-HLA Antibodies.
The capacity of anti-HLA antibodies (Abs) to activate complement is thought to be an informative property susceptible to facilitate outcome prediction. Two different tests, C1q-…2016 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Assessment of Kidney Transplant Biopsies Performs Similarly in Medulla and Cortex.
Histologic assessment of kidney biopsies is usually unable to interpret medulla, but molecular changes associated with rejection likely occur in both medulla and cortex. Analysis…2016 American Transplant Congress
Many Discarded Kidneys Are Similar to Kidneys Accepted for Transplantation as Judged by Their Histologic Lesions and Molecular AKI Scores.
There is an increase in the number kidneys from older brain dead donors (DBD). Many are discarded based on conventional features (clinical or histology). Thus…2016 American Transplant Congress
Standardized Pre-Implantation Kidney Biopsies of Expanded Criteria Donors to Improve the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) for the Evaluation of Marginal Donors.
There is no consensus of selection criteria used to allocate renal transplants from expanded criteria donors (ECD). The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) has been…2016 American Transplant Congress
Gene Expression Microarray Analysis of Purified CD16-Stimulated Human NK Cells and Indication Biopsies Supports a CD16-Mediated Role for NK Cells in Antibody-Mediated Kidney Rejection.
BACKGROUND: CD16α mediates NK cell responses to donor-specific IgG antibodies (DSA), and shares mechanisms with effector T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. Whether CD16α-inducible transcripts are…2016 American Transplant Congress
Early Hospital Readmission Among Immunologically Vulnerable Kidney Transplantation Recipients.
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
BACKGROUND: We previously established that 31% of all kidney transplant (KT) recipients experience early hospital readmission (EHR), or readmission within 30 days of discharge following…2016 American Transplant Congress
Reduced Incidence of Rejection in AB0-incompatible Kidney Transplantation – Five Year Follow-Up in a Single Center.
Nephrology and Hypertension, Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg, Erlangen, Germany.
Introduction:Living kidney donation is the method of choice to expand the donor pool in times of severe organ shortage. In many centers, AB0-incompatible kidney transplantation…
