Reciprocity for Compatible Pair Participation in Kidney Paired Donation.
Participation of ABO and HLA compatible pairs (CPs) in kidney paired donation (KPD) could significantly increase living donor (LD) transplantation (TX). CPs may be more…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Existing Chronic Heart Failure in Kidney Transplantation: An Underestimated Risk Factor for Graft Loss?
Nephrology, Charité University, Berlin, Germany.
BACKGROUND: Cardio-renal interactions influence graft and patient survival in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). There is only few data available analyzing pre-existing chronic heart failure (CHF)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Autologous BK-Specific T-Cell Lines in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: More than 75% of the population has been exposed to BK polyomavirus and carries latent virus in the uroepithelium. Immunocompetent hosts are asymptomatic but…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Prevailing Preference for Left Nephrectomy in Living Donor Transplantation Does Not Adversely Affect Long Term Donor Outcome.
Background: There is a world-wide prevailing clinical bias for removing the left kidney for living donor renal transplant. Both the retrieval and implantation of the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rapid Emergence of CD28null Cells Following Ex Vivo Restimulation Is Associated with Belatacept Resistant Rejection.
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA.
Numerous studies have implicated donor-reactive memory T cells in mediating costimulation blockade resistant rejection (CoBRR) following treatment with belatacept. In humans, these memory T cells…2016 American Transplant Congress
Immunological Ageing-Related Expansion of Highly Differentiated CD4+CD28null T Cells Is Associated with a Lower Risk for Early Acute Rejection After Renal Transplantation.
Background: End-stage renal disease patients have a dysfunctional, prematurely aged peripheral T-cell system. Here we hypothesized that the degree of premature T-cell ageing before kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Cold Ischemia Induced Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation: A Meta-Analysis.
Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY.
Objective: To examine the association between cold ischemia time (CIT) and delayed graft function (DGF) and death-censored graft failure in kidney transplantation.Methods: To identify relevant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Diabetes Mellitus Predicts Outcome in Obesity After Kidney Transplantation.
Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of allograft loss and death from infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Therefore, previous studies suggested bariatric…2016 American Transplant Congress
Watch Out for the Guy with the Low EPTS Score: Nonadherence and Kidney Allograft Failure.
Medicine, University Hospitals Case Medical School, Cleveland, OH.
Background: Nonadherence is a known cause of rejection and kidney allograft failure. Our aim was to define risk factors for allograft loss related to nonadherence.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Increasing Volume and Improved Survival in Solid Organ Transplantation for Amyloidosis – An Analysis of the UNOS Database.
Background: Amyloidosis is a rare disease that results from accumulation of inappropriately folded proteins causing organ failure and poor prognosis. In the last decade several…
