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

Kidney Transplant Outcomes and Organ Acceptance Practice Patterns: Nationwide Analyses of the US and France
*Purpose: Approximately 3,500 donated kidneys are discarded in the US each year, drawing concern from Medicare and advocacy groups. We hypothesised that more aggressive organ…2019 American Transplant Congress
Center-Level Variation in HLA-Incompatible Living Donor Kidney Transplantation Outcomes
1Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, 2University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Desensitization protocols for HLA-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation (ILDKT) vary across centers. The impact of these variations, as well as other practice variations, on…2019 American Transplant Congress
Lineage Tracing Identifies C-Kit Cells as a Population of Kidney-Specific Stem Cells during Development and in Acute and Chronic Kidney Diseases
*Purpose: We recently reported that c-Kit cells isolated from developing kidneys exhibit regenerative potential in mouse models of acute nephrotic syndrome and ischemia-reperfusion injury. These…
