Enhanced Recovery After Kidney Transplantation: 48 Hour Length of Stay in Living and Deceased Donor Transplant Recipients.
BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after kidney transplantation is a desired outcome with potential value-enhancing benefits of reduced length of stay (LOS), costs, and risk of nosocomial…2016 American Transplant Congress
HLA Identical or Haploidentical Combined Kidney and Bone Marrow Transplantation for Multiple Myeloma with End-Stage Renal Failure.
1Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston; 2Columbia University, New York.
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are generally not eligible for either kidney transplantation or allogeneic stem-cell transplant. We performed…2016 American Transplant Congress
NK Cells Play a Critical Role in Mediating Inflammation and Graft Failure During Antibody-Mediated Rejection of Kidney Allografts.
While the incidence of antibody-mediated kidney graft rejection has increased, the key cellular and molecular participants underlying this graft injury remain unclear. We have previously…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
Predictors of eGFR Slope at One Year in Kidney Transplants – A Big Data Approach.
Background: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a predictor of graft loss (GL) in kidney transplantation could inform intervention. National data yield eGFRs at fixed time…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Pretransplant Non-Donor-Specific HLA Immunization: Mainly Class 1 Immunization Leads to Poor Immunologic Outcome and Graft Loss.
Nephrology, Charite, Berlin, Germany.
Background Anti-HLA immunization measured as Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) is known to have a negative impact on patient and graft survival. The influence of pre-transplant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) Recurrence After Renal Transplantation.
Nephrology-Division, Hospital do Rim - UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil.
Purpose: To describe clinical-laboratorial profile and outcome of patients diagnosed with recurrent FSGS submitted to plasmapheresis.Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study including all patients with recurrent…2016 American Transplant Congress
Fc Receptor Binding Assay for Functional Assessment of HLA Antibodies: Initial Clinical Validation.
Functional assessment of HLA antibodies (Abs) has historically been limited to complement-based assays, which have known limitations. Moreover, HLA Abs mediate injury by complement-independent mechanisms,…
