T cell Phenotypes Predict Infectious Risk in Transplanted Children
AIM: Current monitoring strategies do not adequately differentiate infection from complications such as allograft rejection (AR). We aimed to identify peripheral T cell phenotypes that…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Tacrolimus Variability is Associated with Worse Outcomes in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients
Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY.
Background: Subtherapeutic tacrolimus trough concentrations are associated with donor specific antibody (DSA), acute rejection and shortened graft survival. The role of intrapatient variability in tacrolimus…2018 American Transplant Congress
Age Difference between Donor and Recipient Predisposes to Early Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
Pediatric Nephrology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction: Previous studies in adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have shown that an increased age difference between donor and recipient increases the risk of arterial…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Kidney Allograft Outcomes Following Identification of Transplant Glomerulopathy by Electron Microscopy

Transplant Cost Reduction in a Developing Country: “The Case of Guatemala”
Background: Guatemala, south-west of Mexico has a population of approximately 16 million people of which 60% are younger than 20 years. As any other developing…2018 American Transplant Congress
Improved Renal Allograft Survival for Pre-Emptive Paediatric Renal Transplant Recipients in the United Kingdom
OBJECTIVESThe aim of this study was to investigate whether being on dialysis at the time of renal transplantation affected renal allograft survival in paediatric renal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Immune Phenotyping in a Pediatric Multicenter Transplant Study: Suitability of a Pre-Formulated Dry Antibody Panel System
Background:Flow cytometric immune-phenotyping is influenced by cryopreservation and inter-laboratory variability limiting comparability in multi center studies. The Duraclone™ system (DC) provides optimized pre-mixed dry antibody…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Prolonged-Release Tacrolimus in Stable Pediatric Allograft Recipients Converted from Immediate-Release Tacrolimus
Study assessed long-term efficacy/safety of prolonged-release tacrolimus (PR-T) in stable solid organ allograft recipients (aged 5–16 yrs) who participated in a multicenter, Phase II pharmacokinetics…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcome of Pediatric Kidney Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience over the past Three Decades in Japan
Purpose: Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the preferred treatment for children with ESRD. Although the steady advances in immunosuppression have enabled control of early acute rejection…2018 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of No Kasai Portoenterstomy to Failed Kasai: Analysis of UNOS Database
