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

Transplantation of Neonatal En-Bloc Kidneys: Do They Grow and Are They Subject to Hyperfiltration Injury?
UC Davis Transplant Center, Sacramento, CA.
Importance:Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) kidney donation is rare but a potentially significant kidney source. Concerns with using these small kidneys include the risk for…2015 American Transplant Congress
Matching Strategies in Kidney Paired Donation: A 7-Year Analysis of a Multi-Institutional Registry
1University of Toledo Medical Center, Toledo, OH; 2Alliance for Paired Donation, Maumee, OH.
Failure to convert computer-identified possible Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) exchanges into transplants has prevented KPD from reaching its full potential. The purpose of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Serum Proteins Are Significantly Upregulated in Patients With Clinical Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major pathway associated with late graft loss. Although serum de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies are frequently observed in ABMR,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Predicting and Preventing 30-Day Readmission Following Kidney Transplantation: A Single Center Study
Purpose: Readmissions are a major morbidity following kidney transplantation (KT). Prior studies report a 30-day readmission rate of 30%. Limited data exist on risk facotors…
