Proteinuria is Associated with Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease after Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: Proteinuria is a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease in the general population and occurs commonly after kidney transplantation. The association between proteinuria and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hyperkalemia in the Early Post Renal Transplant Period
Hyperkalemia is a recognized and potentially life threatening complication post renal transplantation. Aside from delayed graft function, the most frequent culprit identified is pharmacotherapy. Many…2018 American Transplant Congress
Platelet Counts as Predictors of Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Liver Transplantation: Cassandras or Just Rats on a Sinking Ship?
BackgroundThrombocytopenia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality following partial hepatectomy and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Here we investigated platelet counts (PC) as a predictor…2018 American Transplant Congress
Rates of Posttransplant Cutaneous Disease Differ between Black and White Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Background: Immunosuppression (IS) results in heightened risk of developing posttransplant cutaneous complications. Black solid organ transplant recipients (OTRs), who often receive higher doses of IS…2018 American Transplant Congress
Amiodarone Use Increases Morbidity Not Mortality in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients

Background: Amiodarone is commonly used in pediatric and adult patients with end-stage heart failure and its use is associated with increased 1-year post-transplant mortality in…2018 American Transplant Congress
External Validation of Hennepin Transplant Risk Score for Prediction of Short-Term Mortality and Morbidity after Deceased Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: The additive or synergistic effects of multiple co-morbidities at the time of listing on transplant survival is still unclear. Objective scoring systems predicting post-transplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Follow-Up and Outcomes of Epstein-Barr Virus Negative Recipients after a Kidney Transplant from an Epstein-Barr Virus Positive Donor
Introduction: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most serious complications of chronic immunosuppression after an organ transplant. One of the major risk factors…2017 American Transplant Congress
Can We Successfully Overcome Obesity as a Barrier for Kidney Transplantation?
Obesity is a significant barrier for kidney transplantation (KT) with higher rates of denial for listing and longer listing to transplantation interval. We examined the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Utility of a 10-Minute Functional Test as a Predictor of Kidney Transplant (KTP) Listing.
Purpose: Frailty is a measure of physiologic reserve that has been associated with poor outcomes after kidney transplant, but its use as a predictor for…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Detects High Prevalence of Hypertension in Recipients of Non-Renal Transplants.
