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
Donor Microbiota and Its Contribution for the Development of Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Human Lung Transplantation
Background: The microbiome of the donor lung will be imported to the recipient, and its role in allograft immunity remains speculative. The aims of this…2015 American Transplant Congress
In House Oxygen Persufflation of Cold Stored Livers Versus Simple Cold Storage in Extended Criteria Liver Grafts: Results of a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Two hours of end-ischemic oxygen persufflation of cold stored porcine livers regenerates cellular energy dependent pathways and improves survival after transplantation. The present trial evaluated…2015 American Transplant Congress
When Do DCD Donors Die? Outcomes and Implications of DCD at a High-Volume, Single-Center OPO in the United States
Introduction: Successful donation (SD) is not always possible following attempted donation after circulatory death (DCD). The goal of this study was to determine the fate…2015 American Transplant Congress
Lung Transplantation from Donors With Kidney Disease
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Background:Various donor characteristics are associated with decreased survival following single (SLT) or bilateral (BLT) lung transplantation. No current studies exist regarding use of lungs from…2015 American Transplant Congress
U.S. National Experience of Liver Transplantation Using Allografts from Octogenarian Donors
Surgery, Division of Transplantation, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL.
IntroductionA continuous worsening of donor organ shortage has led to expand organ acceptance criteria. It is still theoretically possible to utilize hepatic allografts from donors…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…
