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
Clinical Subclassifiation of ABMR Phenotypes: Recognizing Variation in Presentation
Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre, Edmonton, Canada.
The diagnosis of ABMR in kidney transplants is based on ptc-, g- and cg-lesions in biopsies and donor-specific antibody (DSA). To recognize the actual phenotypes…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Economic Impact of Nonimmune Complications in Contemporary Kidney Transplantation
The clinical burden and economic impacts of nonimmune complications after kidney transplant (KT) are incompletely defined.We examined United States Renal System Registry Data for Medicare-insured…2015 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of IgG Subclass Significance for Early Graft Rejection and Long-Term Survival in HLA-Antibody Incompatible Renal Transplantation: Multivariate Approach
Donor HLA specific antibodies (DSA) can cause acute rejection and graft lost after renal transplantation. However neither the damaging antibody types, nor their acceptable levels…2015 American Transplant Congress
Loss of RIPK3 and Caspase-8 Enhance Intrinsic Apoptosis in Tubular Epithelial Cell (TEC) Death and Contributes to Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI)
[Background] Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), a complex limiting factor in organ transplant survival, is related to multiple death pathways. Eliminating the key necroptotic molecule (RIPK3) improves…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reduced Incidence of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus
BACKGROUND: CMV infection is associated with inferior long-term kidney transplant outcomes. This study compared the incidence of CMV infection/disease in de novo kidney transplant recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Induction Therapy on Outcomes in HIV + Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Kidney transplantation in HIV+ recipients has been complicated by higher than expected acute rejection rates (AR). Induction immunosuppression may or may not impact this…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Cold Ischemic Time (CIT) and Distance Traveled (DT) on Shipped Kidneys in the OPTN/UNOS Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) Pilot Program (PP)
Background: The success of a national KPD program is predicated on excellent early kidney function and graft survival (GS). As other KPD programs have reported…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Renal Transplant Recipients With Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: An OPTN Registry Analysis
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) accounts for <1% of renal transplants in the US. There is limited data on the characteristics and outcomes of in pediatric…2015 American Transplant Congress
Chimeric Thymus Versus Antigen Presenting Thymus for the Induction of Tolerance: Donor DCs in Vascularized Thymus Grafts Play an Essential Role in the Induction of Tolerance
We have demonstrated that thymus plays an important role in transplantation tolerance in MHC inbred large animals. We have established a technique of isolated vascularized…
