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
Bisphosphonates Effectively Improve the Long Term Renal Transplant Outcomes; A Single Center Retrospective Study
*Purpose: Kidney transplantation (KT) is a treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. Despite of remarkable improvement in short term graft survival, few…2019 American Transplant Congress
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
Maternal and Pregnancy Outcomes after Living Donor Nephrectomy in a Multistate Cohort
*Purpose: Studies have demonstrated increased risk of preeclampsia for pregnancies after kidney donation in homogenous populations or single-center studies. Our study aims to delineate maternal…2019 American Transplant Congress
Renal Outcomes from Expander-1: Pilot Study of HCV+ Donor Kidneys for HCV- Kidney Recipients
*Purpose: Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have led to high cure rates (>95%) for hepatitis C. Utilization of HCV+ donor kidneys for patients with advanced kidney…2019 American Transplant Congress
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…
