Elevated ST2 Levels Are Associated With Increased Risk of Antibody Mediated Rejection in Heart Transplant Recipients
Objective: Serum ST2, a member of the interleukin (IL) 1 receptor family, is a novel biomarker that reflects cardiac remodeling and fibrosis and is associated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Propensity Score-Weighted Analysis of Induction Therapies in Live Donor Kidney Transplantation in Modern Immunosuppression Era
1Medicine, UTSW, Dallas, TX; 2Clinical Sciences, UTSW, Dallas, TX; 3Surgery, UTSW, Dallas, TX.
Background: Induction therapy with interleukin-2 receptor antagonist (IL2-RA) is recommended as a first line agent in living donor renal transplantation (LRT). However, use of IL2-RA…2015 American Transplant Congress
Sevoflurane Based Anesthesia in Recipients Reduces 2 Year Acute Rejection in Living Donor Kidney Transplantation. Results from the VAPOR-Trial
IntroductionVolatile anesthetic agents like sevoflurane may protect against the ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) that is inevitable part of organ donation and transplantation. It is…2015 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTRs) Is Associated With Early Allograft Inflammation and Progressive Fibrosis Within 3 Months
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
DGF had been shown to be deleterious to KTR outcomes. Analysis of histological progression in KTRs with DGF was previously not attempted. In this prospective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of HLA Antibody Monitoring After Kidney Transplantation
The impact of donor specific antibodies (DSA) and optimal therapeutic intervention for DSA in kidney transplant (KT) recipients has been reported with variable results. We…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Preformed and De Novo Donor-Specific Antibodies (DSA) in Acute Rejection (AR) After Liver Transplantation (LTX)
BACKGROUND: The role of preformed and den novo formed DSA in LTX is not fully revealed. The aim of our study was to determine if…2015 American Transplant Congress
Current Status of US Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation: An Analysis of the UNOS Intestine Transplant Registry

Lung Biopsy Findings in Pediatric Lung Transplant Patients With Restrictive Physiology
Background: Long-term survival in pediatric lung transplantation is limited by bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), but varieties of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) are poorly understood. Restrictive…2015 American Transplant Congress
mTOR Inhibitors Reduce the Endothelial Transmigration of Leukocytes After Ischemia
ObjectivemTOR inhibitors Everolimus and Sirolimus are currently used as maintenance immunosuppressive agents to prevent rejection of solid transplanted organs. Episodes of transplant rejection and graft…2015 American Transplant Congress
Detection of Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies Is Associated With Changes in the Peripheral Distribution of NK Cell Subsets in Kidney Allograft Recipients
Background: Microvascular damage has become the real protagonist involved in antibody-mediated rejection and NK-cell antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) has been proposed as a contributing…
