Enhanced Production of Macrophage Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) Within the Kidney in Brain Death Donors Predicts Recipient Allograft Function
Medicine/Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Brain death (BD) induces an intense pro-inflammatory state, which may impact recipient immunity and graft function after kidney transplantation. The identification of biomarkers predictive of…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Effects of High-Risk Donors and Recipients on Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Program-Specific Outcomes
Public reporting of transplant program-specific outcomes may dissuade programs from accepting high-risk donors and recipients, and thereby restrict access to transplant. It has been proposed…2015 American Transplant Congress
