Impact of Timing of T Cell Mediated Rejection in the First Year after Kidney Transplantation
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: To evaluate the impact of timing of T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) occurrence in the first year after kidney transplantation (KT).*Methods: Single center retrospective cohort…2020 American Transplant Congress
Immunohistochemical and Molecular Detection of NK Cells in Kidney Allografts with Antibody Mediated Rejection
Pathology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Molecular signatures specific to Natural Killer (NK) cells are closely associated with antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in transplant biopsies. We have developed an immunohistochemical…2020 American Transplant Congress
Assessing Immunosuppression with Immunological Testing and Surveillance Biopsies Late after Liver and Intestine Transplantation (LT, IT)
Pediatric Transplant, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Assessing adequacy of immunosuppression is essential during late allograft surveillance after LT or IT.*Methods: To explain why allograft function tests can be normal despite…2020 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of 1000 Protocol Kidney Biopsies: Complications, Benefits, and Predictive Potential of Prior Sensitization
*Purpose: Protocol biopsy of kidney transplants can allow for early recognition of treatable findings, both immunologic and non-immunologic. This comes with the risk of biopsy…2019 American Transplant Congress
Recurrent Diabetic Nephropathy Despite Intensive Glycemic Control: An Observational Cohort Study
*Purpose: After kidney transplantation, recurrence of diabetic nephropathy has been reported. The presentation and kinetics of recurrent diabetic nephropathy and its risk factors remain however…2019 American Transplant Congress
Humoral Immune Responses to Kidney Associated Non-HLA Antigens is Not Associated with Progression to Chronic Immune Injury in Kidney Transplant Recipients
1Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ, 2St. Joseph’s Hospital, Phoenix, AZ
*Purpose: Development of donor specific anti-HLA (DSA) although is a known risk factor for Chronic immune injury (CII), it is undetectable in many patients with…2019 American Transplant Congress
IL-6R Blockade with Tocilizumab Increases Tregs and Decreases Early Graft Inflammation in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
*Purpose: IL-6, a proinflammatory cytokine and key regulator of Treg/Th17 balance, is strongly associated with renal graft rejection. We hypothesized that IL-6 blockade with tocilizumab…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact Of Subclinical Bk Virus-associated Nephropathy In High-risk Recipients
University of Alabama, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is a major contributor to kidney transplant failure. Surveillance of serum and urine for the BKV genome has been incorporated…2019 American Transplant Congress
Surveillance Biopsy Utilization Reported Higher In Transplant Centers Performing Over 100 Kidney Transplants Per Year.
*Purpose: To assess the frequency of surveillance biopsies in kidney transplant patients in transplant centers performing greater than 100 transplants per year, and to compare…2019 American Transplant Congress
Subclinical Rejection by Biopsy or Gene Expression Profile Predicts Long Term Kidney Function in Patients in the CTOT08 Trial
*Purpose: The CTOT08 trial showed that either histological subAR or positive gene expression profile (GEP) in the blood associated with histological subAR correlated with a…
