Next-Generation Sequencing-Based Exosome MicroRNA Profiling for Specific Identification of Islet Damage.
Introduction: A significant mass of intraportally transplanted islets undergo damage due to various stress conditions including hypoxia and inflammation. Development of innovative ultrasensitive tests to…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel, Dose-Adjusted Tacrolimus Trough Concentration (TTC) Model for Prediction and Variance Estimation.
Given that a high tacrolimus (tac) intrapatient variability (IPV) increases the risk for a poor kidney transplant (tx) outcome, some experts advocate routine IPV monitoring…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel 3-Dimensional Culture System Enables In Vitro Study of Human Bone Marrow Plasma Cells.
Purpose: Historically, in vitro study of human plasma cells (PCs) has been greatly limited by their short survival (48-72 hrs). Therefore, systems that maintain viability…2017 American Transplant Congress
Shared Decision Aid to Decipher Long-Term Treatment Risks for End Stage Renal Disease Patients.
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end stage renal disease (ESRD) compared to dialysis. The incidence of ESRD continues to increase while the gap…2017 American Transplant Congress
Composite Prognostic Score Improves Clinical Benefit in Kidney Recipients Receiving Standard of Care Therapy for Antibody-Mediated Rejection.
Paris Translational Research Center for Organ Transplantation, Paris, France
There is a marked heterogeneity in AMR patients' prognosis after SOC treatment including plasma exchange (PE) and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG). We investigated whether the use…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk Prediction Models for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation to Predict Donor and Recipient Mortality and Graft Loss.
The purpose of this study was to develop linked risk prediction models for potential donors for and their respective recipients of a kidney transplantation at…2017 American Transplant Congress
How Much Is a Kidney Worth? Comparing Kidney Transplant Strategies in Liver Transplant Candidates.
1Div Nephrology, ; 2Div Gastroenterology & Hepatology, ; 3Ctr Health Policy, Stanford U, Palo Alto
The number of simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplants for renal failure complicating end-stage liver disease (ESLD) is rising. The Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) will…2017 American Transplant Congress
Screening and Referral of High Risk Liver Transplant Recipients to a Transitional Care Coordination (TCC) Program to Reduce Hospital Readmissions.
Introduction One-fifth of Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital. The readmission rate among liver transplant recipients at a large tertiary academic medical center in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Maximizing the Potential of Treg-Based Therapies for Transplant Rejection via Computational Immune-Modeling: Effect of Dose, Timing, and Distribution.
Purpose. Regulatory T cells (Treg), endogenous regulators of the immune system, have a significant therapeutic potential for prevention of transplant rejection. Experimental evidences however, indicate…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Markov Model for Transplant & Renal Outcomes After Liver & Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplants.
The Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) will implement a set of clinical criteria for simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplant eligibility. Our aim is to build…
