Analysis of Local versus Imported Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) Kidneys: A Single Center Experience with 497 ECD Kidney Transplants.
With the new Kidney Allocation System, broader sharing of expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys may occur, which may influence discard rates and survival outcomes. To…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric En Bloc Kidney Transplants Reduce DGF and Are Misrepresented by the KDPI.
Controversy exists regarding optimal use of kidneys from small pediatric donors (SPDs). The study purpose was to compare outcomes between single and dual en bloc…2016 American Transplant Congress
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…2015 American Transplant Congress
National Outcomes of Kidney Tranplantation from Diabetic Donors: A Mate-Kidney Analysis
Utilization of diabetic donor kidneys has increased, though scarce patient and allograft survival data are available for recipients of these organs. Using United Network for…2015 American Transplant Congress
Incorporating Markers of Donor Organ Intrinsic Biology Into Donor Quality Evaluation
UVA, Charlottesville, VA; Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; VCU, Richmond, VA.
Background. We aimed to identify a reliable composite scoring system (clinical / biological) to evalute organ quality and predict outcomes post-kidney transplantation (KT).Methods. 233 deceased…2015 American Transplant Congress
Glomerulosclerosis Patterns Are Non-Uniform Throughout the KDPI Spectrum With Impact on Biopsy Evaluation of Kidneys for Transplant
1Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, Itasca, IL; 2Rush University, Chicago, IL.
Background: The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) stratifies kidney quality with direct bearing on organ allocation and utilization. Procurement biopsy is commonly performed and factored…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Measurement of Plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipoprotein in Living Kidney Donors
Introduction: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a biomarker for acute kidney injury. This study was conducted to determine the clinical implications of perioperative plasma NGAL…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Kidneys Procured from Donors With KDPI > 80%
TRIBE Consortium, New Haven, CT.
Kidneys procured from donors with KDPI>80% are often biopsied and pumped, yet frequently discarded. The accuracy of these quality assessment tools remain controversial but contribute…2015 American Transplant Congress
Poor Renal Function and Increased Mortality in Elderly Recipients of Deceased Donor Kidneys from Elderly Donors
Background: Within the Eurotransplant Senior Program kidneys form donors older than 65 both after cardiac death (DCD) or brain death (DBD) are allocated to recipients…
