Impact of a Novel Digital Medicine Program on Adherence and Utilization in Pediatric Transplant Patients
*Purpose: Purpose: Optimal allograft function and long-term graft survival depends on many factors, including adherence to a complex medication regimen. Methods of measuring adherence are…2019 American Transplant Congress
The C-Statistic Provides No Information on the Accuracy of Program Evaluations or the Presence of Unmeasured Confounders
*Purpose: The C-statistic of risk-adjustment models is regularly used to assess accuracy of program evaluations or determine presence of unmeasured confounding. However, the C-statistic depends…2019 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Donor Derived Cell Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) Levels in the Presence of Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA) Are a Strong Predictor of Antibody Mediated Rejection (ABMR) in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: A renal biopsy, the gold standard for the diagnosis of antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) in transplant recipients, is invasive and may be associated with…2019 American Transplant Congress
CMV-Specific Cell-Mediated Immunity Early after Transplantation Discriminates R+ Transplant Patients at Risk of CMV Infection among Different Solid Organ Transplants
*Purpose: While monitoring CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity(CMI) has shown to be effective in predicting the risk of CMV infection, comparisons across different solid organ transplants(SOT) and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Graft Function And Long-term Outcomes Following Kidney Transplantation Using An Intraoperative Tissue Oximetry Sensor
University of California Irvine, Orange, CA
*Purpose: Marginal kidneys have been increasingly used due to the severe shortage of organs. Deceased-donor kidney transplantation is associated with a higher incidence of delayed…2019 American Transplant Congress
Biomarker Candidate Discovery for Kidney Allograft Monitoring via Urinary Exosome Proteome Analysis
*Purpose: There is a need for the development of noninvasive molecular biomarkers with high reliability and predictive power for early diagnosis and monitoring of any…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Negative Costimulatory Pd-1/pd-l1 Pathway Is Upregulated In Early Cell-mediated Rejection
Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: Extensive transcript analysis has been performed on grafts at the time of rejection, but gene expression preceding overt rejection is less well studied.*Methods: We…2019 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Regimen Adherence For Kidney Recipients By Engaging Information Technologies: The Take It Trial
*Purpose: Several studies report a high prevalence of inadequate adherence to prescribed (Rx) immunosuppressive (IS) medication regimens among kidney transplant (KT) recipients, yet few interventions…2019 American Transplant Congress
Unique Gene Expression Signatures in Urine Distinguish T Cell Mediated Acute Rejection from BK Virus Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Patients
*Purpose: There is a need to develop non-invasive approaches to detect ongoing kidney graft injury and distinguish immune from non-immune inflammation to guide therapy. Ideally…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Number of Donor-Specific IL-21 Producing Cells before and after Transplantation Predicts Kidney Graft Rejection
*Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-21 supports induction and expansion of CD8+ T cells, and can also regulate the differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing plasma cells. We…
