Risk Factors for Acute Cellular Rejection for Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) potentially shortens the life of a kidney allograft. We sought to determine risk factors associated with the development of ACR…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Explore Transplant Program in GA: Is Historical Access to Transplantation Associated With Kidney Transplant Knowledge and Preparedness to Educate ERSD Patients?
1Emory University, Atlanta; 2University of California, Los Angeles.
IntroductionDialysis facilities play a key role in educating end stage renal disease patients on kidney transplantation (KTx). We aimed to investigate the association between historical…2015 American Transplant Congress
Long-term Patient and Graft Survival After Kidney Transplantation in Recipients With Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Stanford University, Stanford.
Background: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among kidney transplant (KTx) recipients is higher than that in the general population. With the advent…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Specific Alloantibody After Positive Crossmatch Kidney Transplantation With Eculizumab (EC): Correlation With Transplant Glomerulopathy and Graft Failure
1Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; 2Paul Terasaki Foundation, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction. EC (C5 blockade) reduces the incidence of early clinical acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) after +XMKTx, but does not prevent chronic AMR. We examined…2015 American Transplant Congress
Multicenter Validation of a Molecular Diagnostic for Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Human Renal Allograft Biopsies
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2Imperial College, London, United Kingdom.
Background: In 2013, the Banff classification adopted molecular diagnostics as an adjunct for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in renal allografts. The NanoString gene…2015 American Transplant Congress
CHBP Suppresses Acute Rejection by Inhibition Maturation of Dendritic Cells though Jak-2/STAT3/SOCS1 Signal in Rat Kidney Transplantation
Background. Renal acute rejection (AR) affects both allografts and recipients survival. We recently synthesized a novel proteolysis-resistant cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP), which exerts promising…2015 American Transplant Congress
Targeting Complement Pathways During Ischemia and Reperfusion: Implications for the Prevention of Delayed Graft Function
Complement system plays a critical role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and contributes to DGF. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation Without Calcineurin Inhibitors or Steroids
1Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA; 2Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Kidney transplantation remains limited by toxicities of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) and steroids. Belatacept is a less toxic CNI alternative delivered by monthly intravenous infusion, but…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Role of Hemodialysis Social Networks in Transplantation: Five Year Follow Up of an Urban Hemodialysis Cohort
Nephrology, Hypertension, and Kidney Transplantation, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: Racial and socioeconomic disparities are well known barriers to kidney transplantation (KT), especially among minority populations. Emerging evidence suggests social networks exist within hemodialysis…2015 American Transplant Congress
Implications of Living Donor Kidney Histology, Volume and Function on Post-Donation GFR
Living kidney donor transplantation is the best modality for treating ESRD as it confers excellent outcomes to patients and it is safe for donors. Postdonation…
