Antibody-Mediated Rejection of Renal Allografts by CCR5-/- Mice Does Not Require CD8 T Cells
Antibody-mediated acute and chronic graft injury remains a major cause of renal allograft loss. Mechanisms underlying these injuries remain unclear due in part to the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Serum Proteins Are Significantly Upregulated in Patients With Clinical Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major pathway associated with late graft loss. Although serum de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies are frequently observed in ABMR,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Recurrence in Renal Transplant Recipients Treated With Belatacept
Introduction: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a cause of end-stage renal failure that frequently recurs following renal transplant, often leading to early allograft loss. A…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Consequences of Renal Allograft Rejections Due to Nonadherence
Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston.
Non-adherence (NA) with immunosuppressive medications is associated with increased healthcare costs, rejection risk, and graft loss. NA is difficult to measure, however, and is often…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histologic Findings in Pre-transplant AT1Rab + ve Patients Point to an Increase in Sub-Intimal Fibrosis During Acute Rejection and in 12 mo. Protocol Renal Graft Biopsies
Previous reports have described an increase in arteritis during acute rejection (AR) in angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibody (AT1Rab) positive (ve+) kidney transplant recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Preformed Anti-HLA DP Donor Specific Antibodies Are Clinically Significant in Renal Transplantation
Renal and Transplant Medicine, Imperial Healthcare NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Whilst preformed [PF] anti-HLA A, B, DR and DQ donor specific antibodies [DSAbs] are associated with poorer allograft outcomes secondary to antibody mediated injury,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Results of ABO Incompatible Liver Transplantation Using a Simplified Protocol at a Single Institution
BackgroundABO incompatible (ABOi) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become a feasible option for patients with end-stage liver disease due to development of various desensitization…2015 American Transplant Congress
Everolimus With Low Dose Tacrolimus in Intestinal Transplantation
Miami Transplant Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL.
Introduction: Renal dysfunction is a well-known complication after organ transplant given immunosuppression (ISP) with calcineurin inhibitors. This is especially true after intestinal transplant (ITx) given…2015 American Transplant Congress
Bortezomib-Based Multi-Modality Protocol for Donor-Specific Antibody Treatment in Lung Transplant Recipients
Duke University Hospital, Durham, NC.
Background Donor specific antibodies (DSAs) after lung transplant have been implicated in the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction and mortality. The ideal treatment strategy…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Racial Disparities in Kidney Transplantation
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a significant determinant of health outcomes and may be an important component of racial disparities in kidney transplantation (KTX). While the…
