Fractional Excretion of NGAL Instead of 99mTcMAG3 Renography to Monitor Resolution of Delayed Graft Function.
Nephrology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, Netherlands.
Introduction: Kidneys transplanted from extended criteria donors have a higher prevalence of delayed graft function (DGF). Early identification of factors that prolong duration of DGF…2016 American Transplant Congress
Serelaxin Decreases the Severity of Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Liver Transplantation in Mice.
The Dumont-UCLA Transplantation Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Background. Extended cold preservation contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which impairs graft function and leads to poor clinical outcomes. Serelaxin (SER), a recombinant form of…2016 American Transplant Congress
High KDPI Kidneys (>85%) Do Not Adversely Affect HRQOL After Kidney Transplantation.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
Background. Since December 2014, deceased donor kidneys are allocated based on a kidney donor profile index (KDPI) by four sequences, A thru D. Estimated kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Correlation Between Pairs of Kidneys Transplanted from the Same Donor.
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Concordance of allograft outcomes between kidneys transplanted from the same donor has previously been reported. However recipient characteristics become increasingly important after the immediate…2016 American Transplant Congress
Preimplantation and Post-Transplant Serial Biopsies of Standard and Extended Criteria Donor Kidneys: Intragraft Molecular Profiles and Effect of Different Immunosuppressive Protocols.
Background: Use of extended criteria donor kidneys (ECD) carries the fear of to transplant of inferior quality and therefore of high discard rate. Clinical tools…2016 American Transplant Congress
Standardized Pre-Implantation Kidney Biopsies of Expanded Criteria Donors to Improve the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) for the Evaluation of Marginal Donors.
There is no consensus of selection criteria used to allocate renal transplants from expanded criteria donors (ECD). The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) has been…2016 American Transplant Congress
Young Recipients Receiving Kidneys from Older Donors Have Poorer Allograft Outcomes.
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: An increasing number of marginal donors are being used in order to expand the donor pool. Age is one of the major criteria in…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Liver Grafts from Donors with Very High Transaminases.
Department of Surgery, Transplant Division, University of Massachusetts, Worcester, MA.
Introduction: Traditionally, elevation of transaminases has been broadly used as markers of hepatic ischemic injury and crucial parameters for liver graft assessment. We wanted to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impaired Outcome of Kidney Transplants from Donors with Acute Kidney Injury.
Given the gap between patients in need of a kidney transplantation and organs available, transplantation centers increasingly accept lower quality organs, e.g. from donors with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Eversion Endarterectomy of the Deceased Donor Renal Artery to Prevent Kidney Discard.
Surgery, Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, NC.
Deceased donor (DD) kidneys exhibiting severe atherosclerosis with hard ulcerative occlusive plaque extending into the renal artery (RA) may represent a contraindication to utilization. Limited…
