Impact of Vitamin D Status on Immune-Mediated Graft Function Following Kidney Transplantation
Ubiquitous expression of vitamin D receptors on antigen-presenting cells has sparked interest into its immunomodulatory effects. While previous literature has described the effect of vitamin…2018 American Transplant Congress
Defining T Cell Subsets Involved in Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts
BackgroundVascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA) is a clinically feasible therapeutic option for complex tissue defects. The highly immunogenic skin component of VCA represents a therapeutic challenge…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Life Stress Exposure and Cardio-Renal Outcomes in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
UAB School of Medicine, Birmingham.
Purpose: Early life stress (ELS) has emerged as an important cardiovascular risk factor in adulthood, and can be characterized by exposure to adverse childhood experiences…2018 American Transplant Congress
Functional Fc Gamma Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Donor-Specific Antibody-Triggered Transplant Injury
Fc-dependent effector mechanisms may play an important role in antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Distinct gene polymorphisms may determine the function of Fc gamma receptors (FcγR), potentially…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Prognosis of BK Virus Associated Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is an important risk factor that results in an allograft loss in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The short-term prognosis of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of HCV Infection in Renal Transplant Recipients
Renal Transplant Unit, Instituto de Nefrologia Nephrology, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
HCV infection is associated to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatic carcinoma and increased incidence of diabetes. Combination of new antiviral drugs have demonstrated utility in liver…2018 American Transplant Congress
mRNA Transcript Profiling of 3 Genes in Renal Allograft Biopsies (Bx) Improves Accuracy of Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) Diagnosis in Transplant Recipients Desensitized with IVIG+Rituximab+Immunoglobulin G-Degrading Enzyme of Streptococcus Pyogenes (IdeS)
Background: Multiple molecular signatures specific to ABMR based on gene expression in renal allograft Bx of transplant recipients were reported. Here we assessed mRNA transcript…2018 American Transplant Congress
Five-Year Outcomes after Randomized Treatment by Rituximab in Early Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Renal Transplantation: Long Term Outcomes of the RITUX ERAH Study
Background The place of rituximab in the treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is still controversial. The French multicenter double-blind, placebo-controlled RITUX ERAH study included…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Infections on Patients with Left Ventricle Assist Devices(LVAD): Allo-Sensitization and Heart Transplantation
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond.
Background: The impact of post-LVAD infections on allosensitization and heart transplantation (HT) is unknown. High levels of panel reactive antibodies (PRA) preclude HT but the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Inhibition of IL-1R1 Signaling Delays Costimulation Blockade–Resistant Allograft Rejection by Preventing CD8 TEM Expansion
Department of Surgery, Emory University, Atlanta, GA.
The clinical utilization of Costimulaiton Blockade (CoB) led to improved long-term patient outcomes, but wider adoption of is hampered by increased rates of acute cellular…
