Protocol Biopsies after Paediatric Kidney Transplantation: A Single Centres' 17 Year Experience
PURPOSE: Standard laboratory measures are not sensitive indicators of kidney dysfunction following transplantation and may be less reliable in paediatric recipients. Early graft surveillance may…2018 American Transplant Congress
Sub-Clinical Acute Rejection (subAR) Detected by Both Surveillance Biopsy (SBx) and a Peripheral Blood Molecular Biomarker Correlates with De Novo Donor Specific Antibody (dnDSA) Following Kidney Transplant (KT)
AIMWe investigated the correlation between subAR diagnosed by SBx or by a newly-defined biomarker, and the development of dnDSA.METHODS307 KT patients enrolled into a multi-center…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Direct Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis C on Acute Rejection and DSA Formation in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Background: Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) has historically portended a poor outcome after kidney transplantation. With recent advent of direct antiviral agents (DAA), there has…2018 American Transplant Congress
Subclinical Borderline Rejection: More Than Meets the Eye?
UAB School of Medicine, Birmingham.
Purpose: Surveillance biopsies can detect subclinical T cell mediated rejection (SC-TCMR) or subclinical borderline rejection (SC-B-TCMR) in patients with normal/stable creatinine, but the impact on…
