Increasing Tacrolimus Exposure to Minumize Chronic Rejection: How Can We Do It? What Are the Risks?
Background: Recent studies suggest that increased tacrolimus (TAC) exposure may help prevent production of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSAs) that mediate chronic rejection of renal…2015 American Transplant Congress
Risk Factors for Acute Cellular Rejection for Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) potentially shortens the life of a kidney allograft. We sought to determine risk factors associated with the development of ACR…2015 American Transplant Congress
Multicenter Validation of a Molecular Diagnostic for Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Human Renal Allograft Biopsies
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2Imperial College, London, United Kingdom.
Background: In 2013, the Banff classification adopted molecular diagnostics as an adjunct for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in renal allografts. The NanoString gene…2015 American Transplant Congress
Urinary CXCL10 Independently Improves the Noninvasive Diagnosis of Antibody-Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection
The urinary levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10 can noninvasively diagnose T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts. Their performance as diagnostic/prognostic markers of antibody-mediated rejection…2015 American Transplant Congress
Absence of Allograft TLR4 Receptor Signaling Attenuates Early Inflammation and Promotes Survival of Allografts Subjected to Prolonged Cold Ischemic Storage
Endogenous memory CD8 T cells infiltrate MHC-mismatched cardiac allografts and produce IFN-γ in response to donor class І MHC within 24 hrs after graft reperfusion…2015 American Transplant Congress
Th17-Mediated Alloimmune Responses Play a Key Role in Intestinal Allograft Rejection in Humans
The Georgetown Transplant Institute, Washington, DC.
The majority of transplanted intestines still falls victim to allograft enteropathy, the underlying mechanisms of which are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes Following Kidney Transplant With Low Level Positive Flow Cytometric Crossmatch
Introduction: Highly-sensitized kidney transplant (KTx) candidates have difficulty finding a negative crossmatch donor. KTx with low level positive crossmatch might be the next best option.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Angiotensin Receptor Antibody IgG1 Subclass Predicts Accelerated Graft Loss in Those Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Develop Biopsy Proven Transplant Glomerulopathy Irrespective of the Presence Or Absence of Donor Specific Anti HLA Antibodies
We assessed the presence or absence of angiotensin receptor antibodies (ATRab) in all those Kidney Transplant Patients who have had biopsy proven transplant glomerulopathy (TG)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Basiliximab Induction With Delayed Tacrolimus Initiation up to 14 Days Post Liver Transplantation Maintains Excellent Clinical Outcomes While Preserving Renal Function
University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA.
Background: Calcineurin inhibitors are frequently delayed to allow for recovery of renal function after transplantation; however, there is a paucity of literature supporting a delay…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcome of Patients With De Novo C1q Binding Donor-Specific HLA Antibodies After Renal Transplantation
A. Not all de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSA) are causing immediate graft loss. The importance of complement-binding DSA was recently shown with a commercial…
