Lower Extremity Impairment and Frailty among Adults with Diabetes Awaiting Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Frailty and lower extremity impairment, both indicators of poor physical performance, are predictive of all-cause mortality among patients awaiting kidney transplantation (KT). Diabetes, the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Total Parenteral Nutrition in Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: Addressing Metabolism Improves Both Inflammation and Overall Graft Performance
Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Contemporary clinical ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) protocols generally limit metabolic supplementation to insulin and glucose. Furthermore, conventional perfusates are void of many ingredients…2019 American Transplant Congress
Activation of Oxidative Stress-Adoptive Responses during Extended Ex Situ Heart Perfusion
Department of Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
*Purpose: Cardiac function declines in a time-related fashion during ex situ heart perfusion (ESHP) regardless of ventricular load status. We have previously shown that the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Paradoxical Differential Post-transplant Rates Of Change Of Serum Proteins In Pediatric Liver Patients With Evidence For A Novel Sarcopenic-dependent Serum Protein Stimulating Factor
*Purpose: Pediatric patients with liver disease suffer from hypoalbuminemia, sarcopenia, and malnutrition. This study aims to quantify differential rates of change (ROC) and post-TX normalization…2019 American Transplant Congress
Incidence and Risks for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Steatohepatitis Post Liver Transplant: Systematic Reveiw and Meta-Analysis
1Beaumont Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI, 2University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Recurrent and denovo non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are important post-liver transplant (LT) outcomes given risk to graft viability. The true…2019 American Transplant Congress
Multidisciplinary Practitioner Perspectives on Cardiovascular Disease Guideline Interventions in Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). However, there is a lack of LT-specific CVD clinical practice…2019 American Transplant Congress
Hypoadiponectinemia is Associated with Low Handgrip Strength in Renal Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Adiponectin was synthesized and expressed by adipocytes. However, recently it was suggested that adiponectin is also secreted and expressed by skeletal muscle. Decline of…2019 American Transplant Congress
BMI Changes and Its Impact on Long Term Follow-Up in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Dept. of Nephrology, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Krakow, Poland
*Purpose: BMI has an effect on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and after kidney transplantation (ktx). Higher body weight and use of immunosuppressive treatment…2019 American Transplant Congress
Normal Coronary Angiogram Pre-Transplant Does Not Predict Cardiac Events in Diabetic Kidney Transplant Recipients
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: Cardiac events (CE) are a common cause of death in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors…2019 American Transplant Congress
Serum Apolipoproteins B and A1 Predict the Development of Late Post-Transplant Diabetes Mellitus in Prevalent Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
St Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
*Purpose: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) increases adverse outcomes. The risk factors for PTDM have not been fully delineated. Glucose metabolism links closely to cholesterol metabolism.…
