Risk Factors Influencing Mammography Screening During Kidney Transplant Evaluation
Transplant Institute, University Hospitals & Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.
INTRO:Transplant centers typically require mammography (MMG) for women ≥ 40 as part of the evaluation process. The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Intermittent High Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin as Treatment for Donor Specific Antibodies in Renal Transplant Recipients
Background: Donor-specific HLA antibody (DSA) formation in post-renal transplant patients is associated with chronic rejection and graft failure. Previous studies in our population have indicated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Early Steroid Withdrawal and Calcineurin Inhibitor Minimization Protocols for Maintenance Immunosuppression: A Single Center 10-Year Experience
BACKGROUND:Long term use of steroids results in predictable secondary effects that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Additionally, long term high levels of Calcineurin…2015 American Transplant Congress
2-Year Results on Renal Function and Safety for Everolimus plus Reduced-Exposure Calcineurin Inhibitor in Living Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
Purpose: The long-term effects of everolimus (EVR) with reduced cyclosporine (rCsA) exposure over 24 months on renal function and safety (viral infection) were assessed in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histological Analysis in ABO-Compatible and Incompatible Kidney Transplantation By Performing 3-Month and 1-Year Protocol Biopsies
Background. ABO incompatible kidney transplantation (ABO-I KTx) is nowadays a well-established procedure to expand living donor source. Graft and patient survivals of ABO-I KTx were…2015 American Transplant Congress
Early Relapse of Atypical HUS Following ABO Incompatible Living Related Paediatric Renal Re-Transplant Successfully Treated With Eculizumab
Background. The female patient presented at 3 years of age with clinical features suggestive of aHUS confirmed genetically as complement factor I mutation (heterozygous for…2015 American Transplant Congress
Safety and Efficacy of Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin for Chronic Hepatitis C Following Renal Transplantation
Objective We sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of pegylated Interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) following renal transplantation.Methods Ten adult…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immune Reconstitution in Recipients of Living Donor Kidney/Hematopoietic Stem + Facilitating Cell Transplants
We report the long-term results from a reduced-intensity nonmyeloablative conditioning approach to establish high levels of donor chimerism without graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in mismatched related…2015 American Transplant Congress
Renal Outcomes of Cross Match Positive Simultaneous Liver Kidney (SLK) Transplant Recipients Compared to Cross Match Positive Kidney Allograft Recipients
The protective role of liver in cross-match(XM) positive SLK recipients and its impact on the incidence of renal antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is unclear.A retrospective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is Pretransplant Anti-A/B Antibody Removal Prerequisite for Successful ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplantation in Children?
Purpose: We have recently demonstrated that the long-term outcome of ABO incompatible living donor kidney transplantation (ABOiKT) in children was comparable to those of ABO…
