Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Patients with CPRA Values > 98% after Implementation of the New OPTN/UNOS Kidney Allocation System (KAS): A Single Center Study Update
Background: Sensitized patients in the past have had prolonged waiting times and greater incidence of death while on the waiting list. On December 4, 2014,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Absence of Rejection in a Facial Allograft Recipient with a Postive Flow Crossmatch 24 Months after Induction with Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Anti-CD20+ Monoclonal Antibody
OBJECTIVE: Vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation has become a feasible reconstructive option for patients with severe facial disfigurement. Short term patient and graft survival have…2018 American Transplant Congress
Renal Allograft Cortical Perfusion Quantification by 3D-Arterial Spin Labeling Could Be Used to Identify Subclinical Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is now the most principal post-surgical complication complicating allograft long-term survival. Therefore, its early detection before serum creatinine rises/estimated glomerular filtration…2018 American Transplant Congress
Modification of Macrophage Phenotype by the Magnetic Field
Objective. Macrophages play a crucial role in health, disease and chronic rejection of transplanted organs. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains unresolved issue in organ…2018 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Achievement of Therapeutic Tacrolimus Levels after Renal Transplantation is Not Associated with Increased Incidence of Early Acute Rejection: Single-Center Results
Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Induction therapy followed by maintenance with a calcineurin inhibitor aims to minimize the incidence of early rejection and optimize the potential for allograft function. However…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Protective Effect of Multivisceral Transplantation on Intestinal Allograft Rejection – Its Correlation with T-Cell Macrochimerism from a Long-Term Prospective Study
Objective Graft rejection remains the crux of intestinal transplantation. Although liver-inclusive grafts appear to be protective, the mechanism remains unknown. We hypothesize that T-cell macrochimerism…2018 American Transplant Congress
Inflammation in Scarred Areas (I-IFTA) is a Reflection of Parenchymal Injury (Response to Wounding) Not T Cell-Mediated Rejection
Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Inflammation in fibrotic renal parenchyma (i-IFTA) is associated with decreased graft survival but by Banff rules is not diagnostic for rejection. Some researchers believe that…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donor Reactive Eomesderminhi CD8+ T Cells Are Significantly Upregulated Early after Transplant in Kidney Transplant Patients without Rejection
IntroductionMemory T cell responses play a critical role in the outcome of allo-transplantation. While the role of the T-box transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes) in the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Multicenter Validation of Human Transitional B Cell Cytokines as a Predictive Biomarker in Renal Transplantation
1UPMC, Pittsburgh; 2UCL, London, United Kingdom.
In renal transplantation, non-invasive biomarkers are needed to identify patients at risk for poor outcomes and guide pre-emptive therapy. Here, we assessed B cell cytokines…2018 American Transplant Congress
Intragraft MicroRNA Transcriptome of Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts
1Weill Cornell Medicine, New York; 2Rockefeller University, New York.
BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNA) are master regulators of gene expression and are potential therapeutic targets. Intragraft miRNA transcriptome of acute antibody rejection (AMR) of human kidney allograft…
