Adherence Patterns in Adolescent and Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Poor adherence to immunosuppressive medications limits long-term renal allograft survival. Using data from the 3-month run-in (no intervention) of the randomized trial TAKE-IT, which tests…2016 American Transplant Congress
Immediate Introduction of Everolimus Does Not Affect Wound Healing and Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients: 3-Months Results from NEVERWOUND Study.
The NEVERWOUND study was designed to evaluate the impact of immediate vs. delayed introduction of everolimus (EVR) on wound healing complications (WHC) and delayed graft…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Ritonavir-Boosted Protease Inhibitors and Non-Depleting Antibody Induction on Outcomes in HIV-Infected Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York.
Background: One-year rejection rates in HIV-infected kidney transplant recipients range from 15-40%, compared to overall rejection rates of 10% in HIV-negative patients. Protocols for immunosuppression…2016 American Transplant Congress
Utilization and Post-Transplant Outcomes Associated with Hepatitis C+ Donor Kidneys in the Advent of Direct-Acting Antivirals.
The introduction of interferon-free direct-acting antivirals(DAAs) in December 2013 dramatically improved outcomes for individuals with Hepatitis C. The impacts of these therapies on utilization and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Automated Web-Based Monitoring Identifies Significant Clinical Changes in Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplant.
Surgery, University of California-San Francisco, San Francisco, CA.
Intro: The accuracy and integrity of very large waiting lists are difficult to maintain over time. We implemented newly available information technology to increase access…2016 American Transplant Congress
Graft Survival of Steroid-Avoidance Protocols in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation[mdash]A Propensity Score Analysis.
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…
