Purpose: The single antigen bead (SAB) assay measures binding of antibodies (Abs) to HLA in units of mean florescence intensity (MFI). Two assays measure the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Graft Survival in Sensitized and Non-Sensitized Patients: Role of the Combination of Donor-Specific Antibodies and Acute Rejection.
Background: Sensitized (S) patients have higher risk for acute rejection (AR), especially ABMR. DSA is a risk fator for ABMR, however, its impact on AR…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Untreated Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Renal Transplant Recipients: A Single-Center Experience.
University of North Carolina Medical Center, Chapel Hill, NC.
Background. Renal transplant recipients (RTR) with asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) are often treated with antibiotics. This could lead to complications related to antibiotic treatment including Clostridium…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Change in Insulin Sensitivity and Lipid Profile in Renal Transplant Recipients Converted from Cyclosporine or Standard Release Tacrolimus to Once-Daily Prolonged Release Tacrolimus.
Background : New-onset diabetes after transplantation may be associated with the use of tacrolimus (Tac) causing impaired insulin release or reduced insulin sensitivity. And, dyslipidemia…2016 American Transplant Congress
Low Pretransplant BMI/Weight and Changes in Posttransplant T Cell Exhaustion Levels Are Associated with Viremia/Viral Infection in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation in the First Post-Transplant Year – A Report from the IMPACT Study Consortium.
Viral consequences of immunosuppression (IS) in pediatric(ped)kidney(kid)transplantation(Tx)patients(pts) are not fully known. We prospectively examined the immunologic and infectious (inf) history of 106 ped Tx pts…2016 American Transplant Congress
