Background:Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy involves abnormal proliferation of bone at distal extremities. It involves clubbing, periostitis of tubular bones and synovial effusions. Some causes of secondary hypertrophic…2015 American Transplant Congress
Non-Inferiority of Graft Survival of Living Unrelated Kidney Transplant compared to Living Related Kidney Transplant as Analyzed by First Degree Relative
Henry Ford Transplant Institute, Detroit, MI.
The perceived advantage of donating a kidney directly to a family member is difficult to uncouple in the setting of voluntary exchange or other kidney…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Glomerulopathy in a Novel Model of Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection Is Associated With DSA and Glomerular IgM
PurposeChronic active antibody mediated rejection (cAMR) and transplant glomerulopathy (TG) are major determinants of long-term allograft survival. However, the contribution of DSA and glomerular immunoglobulins…2015 American Transplant Congress
Does Switching Predict Conversion: IgM De Novo Donor Specific HLA Antibodies Class Switch to IgG in Subclinical Antibody Mediated Rejection in Heart Transplant Recipients
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland; 2School of Medicine, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany.
Background: Concomitant C4d and C3d detection in heart biopsies correlates with circulating DSA and graft dysfunction. Detection of C4d only in surveillance biopsies is not…2015 American Transplant Congress
An Orchestrated Sequence of Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses Is Associated With Rejection After Pediatric Liver Transplantation
The concept of a coordinated immune response initiated by innate and sustained by adaptive immune cells and their soluble mediators is well established for infection…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Clinical Outcome of Plasma Cell-Rich Rejection of Kidney Allograft
Background: Plasma cell-rich rejection (PCRR) is a rare type of allograft rejection characterized by the presence of mature plasma cells. This type of rejection has…2015 American Transplant Congress
Renal Outcomes of Cross Match Positive Simultaneous Liver Kidney (SLK) Transplant Recipients Compared to Cross Match Positive Kidney Allograft Recipients
The protective role of liver in cross-match(XM) positive SLK recipients and its impact on the incidence of renal antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is unclear.A retrospective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pretransplant Antibodies Against Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor in Renal Transplantation: Preliminary Data from the KNOW-KT Study
BackgroundThe antibodies (Abs) against angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) have been suggested as a risk factor for graft failure and acute rejection. However, incidence…
