Monitoring of Small Bowel Allografts with Kynurenine Serum Levels
Long-term success in intestinal transplantation could be significantly improved by the development of a reliable noninvasive marker of rejection, allowing early diagnosis and treatment without…2018 American Transplant Congress
Clinically Relevant Variation of Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA during Longitudinal Surveillance of Renal Allografts
Purpose: Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) levels >1% are associated with active rejection in renal transplant recipients. This report defines the clinically relevant variation of dd-cfDNA…2018 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Induction and Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimens in Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation: An Analysis of the UNOS Registry
Aim: Induction and maintenance immunosuppression regimens in intestinal transplant widely vary among centers. The aim of this study was to investigate an association between immunosuppression…2018 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Acute Cellular Rejection in Liver Transplant Patients Receiving Direct Acting Antivirals for Hepatitis C Treatment
Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have been used for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) in liver transplant patients since early on after their approval, however…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pro-Inflammatory B Cells Predict Progressive Minimal Early Renal Allograft Inflammation Which is Associated with Poor Graft Outcomes
The clinical significance of minimal tubulointerstitial inflammation (MTI:'t'+'i'scores 0.5-1.5) and Banff Borderline changes (BBC:'t'+'i'scores 2-3) in early renal allograft biopsies is unclear. The rate and…2018 American Transplant Congress
DSA with TCMR Identifies High Risk Renal Transplant Recipients That Can Be Predicted by Proinflammatory Transitional B Cells
Starzl Transplant Inst., Univ. of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Post-transplant DSA is strongly associated with poor graft outcomes but has limited predictive value. In this prospective study we aimed to risk-stratify patients with early…2018 American Transplant Congress
Isolation and Profiling of miRNAs from Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Endomyocardial Tissues from Human Heart Transplant Recipients
1Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY; 2New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY.
Allograft rejection is a common complication post heart transplant (HTx) and can be confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy (EBx) only. There is however an increasing need…2018 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Bortezomib in Addition to Rituximab Based Treatment of Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplantation
Purpose:The optimal treatment strategy of acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in renal allograft recipients remains undefined. The aim of our study was to compare the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Magnitude of Pre-Biopsy Decline in Renal Function and Its Association with Allograft Rejection
Introduction: Acute rejection is a significant cause of morbidity, and transplant biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing rejection. To our knowledge there have been…2018 American Transplant Congress
Metabolic Regulation of Neuropeptides Induces Weight Loss and is Linked to Prolongation of Allograft Survival
Obesity has become a common comorbidity among transplant recipients that is linked to inferior transplant outcome through far-reaching effects on metabolism, inflammation and immunity. Increasingly,…
