Examining the Risk for Post-Transplant Viral Infections and Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) in Kidney Transplant Patients (Pts) Receiving Calcineurin Inhibitor-Based Immunosuppression (CNI-IS) Compared to Belatacept (CTLA4Ig).
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction: CTLA4Ig is a novel IS agent that acts through costimulatory blockade of T-cells and obviates the need for CNI. Despite benefits in improving renal…2016 American Transplant Congress
The First Impressions: A Study in Pre and Post-Implantation Renal Grafts for Early Detection Markers of Delayed Graft Function and Recovery.
1UVA, Charlottesville; 2VCU, Charlottesville; 3Northwestern University, Chicago.
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is mainly a consequence of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) resulting in acute tubular necrosis. The degree of IRI is…2016 American Transplant Congress
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
Offering HCV-Positive Kidneys to HCV-Negative Patients on the Kidney Transplant Waitlist Is Lifesaving: Results of a Markov Model.
Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: Patients with ESRD on the transplant waitlist face substantial risks of dying without a transplant. Because 2/3 of kidneys from hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive…2016 American Transplant Congress
Denosumab Prevents Bone Mineral Density Loss in De Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Background: Kidney transplantation is associated with bone loss and an increased risk of fracture. Since current therapeutic options to prevent bone loss are limited we…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Use of Sofosbuvir (SOF)-Containing Direct Antiviral Agents (DAA)-Based Regimens Requires Increase in Tacrolimus (Tac) Doses in Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection.
Background: The use of SOF-containing regimens based on NS5A inhibitors has not been shown interactions with Tac in liver transplant.Specific data on KT recipients are…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…
