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…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…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Post-Transplant Graft Function in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Discarding donor organs lengthens time patients spend on the kidney transplant (KT) wait list. To identify characteristics associated with short-term outcome in deceased donor…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact of an Intra-Abdominal Cooling Device during Open Kidney Transplantation in Pigs
*Purpose: Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease. Currently, there is a large gap between the supply and demand for transplantable kidneys.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin (rATG) Dosing and Incidence of Opportunistic Viral Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients Using Tacrolimus (TAC), Mycophenolate (MPA) and Steroid Free Maintenance Immunosuppression
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, OH
*Purpose: There is limited literature evaluating rATG dosing and incidence of infection with TAC/MPA and early steroid withdrawal. This study evaluates rATG dosing and overall…2019 American Transplant Congress
Activation of Renal Fibroblasts by Anti- Major Histocompatibility Complex Antibody: A Missing Link in Allograft Fibrosis
*Purpose: Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR) is an important contributor to late kidney allograft loss, frequently accompanied by interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. Donor-specific antibodies (DSA)…
