Treatment of Hepatitis C Viral Infection with Novel Direct Acting Antivirals in Kidney Transplant Recipients – Single Center Experience.
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV+ve) have higher proteinuria and inferior patient and graft survival compared to HCV negative KTRs. Due…2016 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Isolated Intraperitoneal Sirolimus Treatment on the Kidneys of C57BL/6 Mice.
Sirolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, is widely used in transplantation. However, the mechanism by which sirolimus induces adverse effects such as proteinuria and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Correlation of the Shear Wave Elastography with Renal Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Proof of Concept Study.
Background: Non-invasive biomarker for kidney allograft fibrosis is needed. Shear wave elastography is a relatively new technique to assess tissue stiffness. Graft rejection and chronic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Only 13% of Liver Transplant (LT) Recipients with Moderate to Severe Kidney Disease (KD) Tolerate Conversion to Everolimus and Reduced Tacrolimus (EVR/rTac).
Liver Transplant, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
EVR/rTac has been reported to improve renal function in LT recipients with adequate kidney function (eGFR > 80ml/min); however, this strategy in LT patients with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Baseline Proteinuria on Long- and Short-Term Outcomes in Live Kidney Donors – 10 Year U.K Cohort Study.
