Center-Level Variation of Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Utilization
Liver waitlist registrants with kidney disease may receive simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplant, or liver-only (LT). Patient characteristics associated with SLK, and center-level variation in SLK…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Serum sCD30 as a Predictor in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Objective To explore the significance of serum CD30 in predicting acute rejection and pneumonia in kidney transplant recipients. Methods A total of 106 kidney transplant…2015 American Transplant Congress
Arterial Blood Pressure at Time of Liver Transplant (LT) Evaluation Correlates With Kidney Biopsy Findings in LT Candidates With Renal Dysfunction
Transplant, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Renal dysfunction is common in LT candidates; however, predicting post-LT renal recovery is sometimes difficult. Kidney biopsy is helpful in identifying reversible renal injury but…2015 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Kidney Transplant in Combined Liver-Kidney Transplantation Improves GFR and Patient Survival
Transplant Division, Department of Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis.
Background: Patients requiring combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKTx) are at risk for worse outcomes compared to LTx and KTx alone due to severity of illness and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Avoiding Futility in Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation (SLKT): Analysis of 331 Consecutively Listed Patients
Without well-established listing guidelines for SLKT, MELD prioritization of liver recipients with renal dysfunction potentially risks scarce renal allografts. We sought to evaluate short-term predictors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Renal Outcomes of Cross Match Positive Simultaneous Liver Kidney (SLK) Transplant Recipients Compared to Cross Match Positive Kidney Allograft Recipients
The protective role of liver in cross-match(XM) positive SLK recipients and its impact on the incidence of renal antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is unclear.A retrospective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Defining the Epidemiologic Landscape of HIV-Infected Deceased Donors in the United States
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act mandates research on the use of HIV-infected (HIV+) deceased donors (HIVDD) for transplantation in HIV+ recipients. The only data…2015 American Transplant Congress
Diminished Survival After Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant With Increasing Kidney Donor Profile Index Score
Transplant Center, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX.
BACKGROUND: Since the introduction of MELD, the number of simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplants has greatly increased. Renal failure after liver transplant is associated with a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Recurrence of Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 Detected by Surveillance Biopsies: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Effect on Graft Function
Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare metabolic defect that results in oxalate over-production by the liver and leads to renal disease due…2015 American Transplant Congress
Declaring a Patient Brain Dead on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO): Are There Guidelines or Misconceptions?
Purpose: With the rapid growth of ECMO and the accumulating evidence that organs from ECMO donors can be safely transplanted, we reviewed the practice variations…
