The BEST Trial: A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Trial of Belatacept-Based CNI- and Corticosteroid-Free Immunosuppression
Previous large multicenter belatacept (BELA)-based CNI- and steroid-free immunosuppressive trials have not enrolled to completion due to safety concerns. The BEST Trial (Belatacept-based Early Steroid…2018 American Transplant Congress
Autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cells with In Vivo Immunomodulatory Properties Can Be Generated in Allograft Recipients under Immunosuppression
PurposeTo determine if it is possible to generate mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with potent in vivo immunomodulatory properties in allograft recipients under immunosuppression, we analyzed…2018 American Transplant Congress
CD40 Signaling in Proximal Tubules Regulates Fibrosis in Both Hypertension and Chronic Allograft Rejection
University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, Toledo, OH.
Background: We explored the role of CD40 signaling in kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells on renal interstitial fibrosis (IF) in two models: hypertension; and chronic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Histologic Allograft Health is Preserved Despite Rejection during Protocolized Immunosuppression Withdrawal (ISW) in Stable Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Long term allograft health after rejection during ISW has not been previously assessed. We compare baseline and 4yr graft histology of 20 rejectors in…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Pre-Transplant Blood-Based Lipid Signature for Prediction of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplant Patients
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond.
BACKGROUNDThere is a lack of biomarkers for pre-kidney transplant immune risk stratification to avoid over- or under-immunosuppression. Since the circulating lipidome is integrally involved in…2018 American Transplant Congress
NK Cells in Allograft Kidney Biopsies during Rejection: Detection, Quantification, and Precise Localization Using Multiplex Immunofluorescence
Introduction: Among the complex cellular interplay engaged in renal rejection, recent transcriptomic analysis of renal biopsies has detected NK cell transcripts in the setting of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Levels of CD19+ B Cells before or after Rituximab Administration is a Risk Factor for the Early Rejection of a Living Kidney Transplant
1Nephrology, Ohkubo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan; 2Urology, Ohkubo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
[Introduction]Rituximab (RTX) is used for desensitization in highly sensitized patients, such as those undergoing ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation. Although RTX is generally effective, some patients…2018 American Transplant Congress
Intensified Immunosuppression Improves Early Renal Allograft Function after Transplantation in a Porcine Model with Extended Asystolic Warm Ischemic Time
PURPOSE: Extensive ischemia-reperfusion injury significantly increases the immunogenicity of renal allograft which may be associated with increased risk of acute rejection (AR). This study investigated…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Psychosocial Variables on Renal Allograft Rejection Risk: A Multivariate Analysis
Transplant Surgery, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA.
Transplant-specific risk factors for rejection are well documented, yet psychosocial variable correlation with rejection risk is not; this analysis seeks to determine the relationship between…2018 American Transplant Congress
Reassessment of Virtual Crossmatch: The Clinical Meaning of Cell-Based Actual Crossmatch for Kidney Transplantation
Background: Due to the high sensitivity and specificity of Luminex technique, the Luminex single antigen beads (LSAB) assays are widely used in detecting the HLA…
