HCV, Acute Rejection, and the New Direct-Acting Antivirals in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients.
The association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity and acute rejection (AR) in kidney transplant donors and recipients is unclear, and may have changed with…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Early Outcomes of Bortezomib Therapy in Patients with Late Antibody Mediated Rejection in Renal Transplantation.
Although several strategies for treating antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in renal transplants have been investigated, the formation of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) and ongoing AMR contribute…2016 American Transplant Congress
Preoperative Cytokine Storm in High MELD Patients Accentuates Incidence of Rejection Following Liver Transplantation.
Abdominal Transplant Surgery, Columbia University, NY, NY.
IntroductionAcute Cellular Rejection (ACR) affects 30 percent of all liver transplants. Histologically it is characterized by cellular inflammation in the veins, bile ducts and portal…2016 American Transplant Congress
IL-17-Producing CCR6+CD4+ Th17 Cells Drive Intestinal Allograft Rejection in Humans.
MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute, Washington DC.
A. Allograft rejection remains a significant source of mortality and morbidity in intestinal transplant (ITx) recipients. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Differential Regulation of the Microvascular Endothelial Cell Mediated Allogeneic CD4+ T Cell Response by Anti-HLA-DR and -DQ Alloantibodies in an Inflammatory Context.
This study examines the basic mechanisms by which high levels of circulating HLA class II donor-specific-antibodies can contribute to microvasculature damage in chronic antibody mediated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation in HIV Patients: Effect of Race on the Choice of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction Immunosuppression.
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
Introduction: HIV positive status is a well-known risk factor for acute rejection (AR) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). In the United States, the majority of…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Molecular Biopsy Test for Probability of Non-Adherence.
Afferent arteriolar hyalinosis (ah-score) in renal transplant biopsies increases with time of biopsy-post-transplant (TxBx), reflecting calcineurin inhibitor drug effects, donor aging, and progressive glomerular diseases.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Immunogenic HLA-DR Eplet Mismatches as Predictors of Transplant Glomerulopathy.
BackgroundThe number of HLA-DR eplet mismatches (eplet load) is a risk factor for the development of anti-HLA antibodies and transplant glomerulopathy (TG). In the case…2016 American Transplant Congress
Human B Cell Cytokines Predict Renal Allograft Rejection and Early Transplant Outcomes.
In renal transplantation, non-invasive biomarkers that are predictive and allow for early intervention are limited. Here we report findings from a prospective longitudinal study of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Skin as a Harbinger of Rejection of Underlying Structures in Vascularized Composite Allografts: Concordance or Discordance?
Vascularized composite allografts (VCA) are composed of multiple tissue types. It has not been determined as to whether there is an immune hierarchy or differential…
