Assessment of the Relationship between Inflammation and Glomerular Filtration Rate
*Purpose: Since the inflammatory phenomena that occur after transplantation are decisive factors for developing renal rejection, we decided to study how the elevation of some…2019 American Transplant Congress
Transfer of Healthy Mitochondria in Established Ischemic Injury Reduces Progression to Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy
*Purpose: Ischemia induces altered bioenergetics with increased mitochondrial swelling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately degradation of cellular function. Therapeutic interventions that target to…2019 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Viral Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Alemtuzumab or Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin Induction
1Tampa General Hospital, Tampa, FL, 2Florida Kidney Physicians, Tampa, FL
*Purpose: Monoclonal antibody therapy causes profound and sustained lymphocyte depletion thus increasing the risk of viral infections. While studies exist evaluating the outcomes of alemtuzumab…2019 American Transplant Congress
Does Proton Pump Inhibitor Use Affect Renal Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients?
*Purpose: Recently, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) intake has been linked to acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. In the setting of renal transplantation, it…2019 American Transplant Congress
Is Narrative Storytelling Ethical to Use to Educate the Public about Living Donation? Transplant Professionals Weigh In
*Purpose: Recent studies suggest that integrating health information through narrative stories can improve understanding of complex health conditions in diverse populations, especially those with low…2019 American Transplant Congress
Are Protocol Biopsies Necessary for Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients?
Pediatrics, UCSD, San Diego, CA
*Purpose: Renal allograft survival indirectly correlates with acute rejection episodes. Subacute rejection is also associated with decreased graft survival. Protocol biopsies (bxs) have been implemented…2019 American Transplant Congress
Variations in Recipient and Donor Clinical Characteristics between Kidney Transplant Centers
*Purpose: When a patient can choose at which kidney transplant program to establish care, prior knowledge of program acceptance practices (of candidates and donors) can…2019 American Transplant Congress
Differences in the Cost of Kidney Organ Recovery by Organ Procurement Organization Size
*Purpose: Economic theory suggests that there should be an initial decrease in costs of products as production levels increase. Using data from independent OPOs we…2019 American Transplant Congress
Did COIIN Cohort A Maintain Graft Survival Performance While Increasing Moderate to High KDPI Transplants?
Research, United Network for Organ Sharing, Richmond, VA
*Purpose: The Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (COIIN) was a 3-year OPTN project aimed at increasing the utilization of kidneys with a kidney donor profile…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Role of CD47/SIRPα and CD47/TSP-1 Pathways in Pig-to-Baboon Kidney Transplantation Using hCD47 Transgenic Kidneys
*Purpose: We have recently reported that both CD80 upregulation and the degradation of SMPDL-3b on glomerular podocytes are involved in the development of post kidney…
