Transcriptome Profiling Of Renal Transplant Biopsies With Acute Cellular Rejection From Patients On Calcineurin Inhibitor-based Or Cni-avoidance Immunosuppression
*Purpose: Despite their suboptimal toxicity profile, calcineurin-inhibitors (CNIs) remain the cornerstone of renal transplant immunosuppression. Previous efforts to completely eliminate CNIs failed, because CNI-avoidance protocols…2019 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Human Kidneys without an Oxygen Carrier
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a promising strategy for pre-transplant reconditioning and viability assessment of marginal renal grafts. All current clinical kidney NMP protocols…2019 American Transplant Congress
Alemtuzumab versus Antithymocyte Globulin Induction Immunosuppression in Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients
1Tampa General Hospital, Tampa, FL, 2Florida Kidney Physicians, Tampa, FL
*Purpose: Lymphocyte depleting agents such as rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) and alemtuzumab are used for induction in highly sensitized (PRA ≥30%) kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).…2019 American Transplant Congress
Comparison Of Estimating Glomerular Filtration Equations In Living Kidney Donor Candidates Prior To Donation
*Purpose: Serum creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) models have been shown to over- or underestimate measured iohexol GFR (mGFR), but it is unclear if…2019 American Transplant Congress
Acceptability of Animated Video Medium to Educate Kidney Transplant Patients
University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
*Purpose: Video-based education is an emerging method to address low health literacy, a barrier to informed patient decision-making. A two-dimensional animated educational video was developed…2019 American Transplant Congress
Anti-ebv Antibody (ebv-ab) And Ebv-specific Cytotoxic T Cell (ebv-tc) Positivity Are Essential To Control Viremia In Seronegative (sero[-]) Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients (ped Ktx Pts).
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: EBV infection represents a significant morbidity factor in KTx Pts, especially EBV sero(-) Ped as infections tend to be more severe and recurrent, increasing…2019 American Transplant Congress
Modeling Multiple Registrations and the Impact at the National and Regional Scale
Computational Science and Informatics, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
*Purpose: Current policies in the U.S. allow patients to register at multiple organ donor service areas (DSAs), provided they have physician approval and can cover…2019 American Transplant Congress
Renal Cell Carcinoma in Dialysis Patients: Criteria for Transplant Wait List Inclusion
*Purpose: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on long-term hemodialysis have a higher incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in their native kidneys than the general…2019 American Transplant Congress
Regional Disparities In The Transplant Rates Across Unos Regions Pre- And Post-kidney Allocation System Policy Implementation
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Geographic distribution of organs for transplant is a critical component of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) policies. However, there is no single…2019 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Donor Outcomes ≥ 50 Years Post Donation
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
*Purpose: Data on true long-term follow-up (LTFU) of living kidney donors (LD) is sparse. Given this, the acceptance of young donors can be a challenging…
