BackgroundSimultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) has increased demand for donor kidneys during a national organ shortage. In kidney-alone recipients, dual kidney transplantation (DKT) using “marginal” donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Graft Function[mdash]Less Ominous for ARF or DCD Recipients?
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Delayed Graft Function (DGF) is both a transplant outcome and risk factor for graft failure. Kidneys from donors with kidney injury--such as acute renal failure…2017 American Transplant Congress
Steatotic Human Livers Show Inferior Function Compared to Non-Steatotic Livers During Ex-Situ Viability Assessment by Oxygenated Machine Perfusion.
Fatty livers are frequently declined for transplantation due to high risk of primary non-function. Ex-situ oxygenated machine perfusion (MP) is superior to static cold storage…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Outcome of Kidney Grafts from Living Donors with Pyelo-Ureteric Junction Dysfunction.
Introduction: There is a wide gap between number of patients seeking renal transplants and potential kidney donors. Living kidney donation seems a reasonable source to…2017 American Transplant Congress
