The Influence of Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin (rATG) Dose on the Incidence of CMV Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving No Pharmacological Prophylaxis. A Propensity Score Matched Cohort Analysis
rATG has become the agent of choice for induction therapy in sensitized patients and those receiving expanded criteria donors (ECD) allografts. However, the optimal dose…2018 American Transplant Congress
DSA Plus TCMR Leads to Poor Outcomes in Renal Allograft Recipients and This is Markedly Exacerbated by Non-Adherence
Starzl Transplant Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Post-transplant DSA is strongly associated with poor renal allograft outcomes but has limited predictive value. In this prospective study we aimed to risk-stratify patients with…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Ratio of CTLA4 to Perforin and Granzyme B as a Potential Biomarker of Tolerance in Chimeric Renal Transplant Patients
Background: Thirty-six subjects have been enrolled in a phase II clinical trial aimed to induce tolerance through chimerism. Each subject received FCRx (mPBMC enriched in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Early Utilization of Telehealth in Kidney Transplantation
Transplant Institute, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Cleveland, OH.
Introduction: Telehealth is an emerging strategy to improve outcomes and decrease emergency department visits and readmissions. Utility of telehealth in kidney transplantation hasn't been much…2018 American Transplant Congress
Diagnosis of Acute Renal Rejection Using Saliva Metabolome Analysis
(Objective) Wide variety of biomarker discoveries have been conducted to realize low-invasive detection of rejection after renal transplantation. Metabolomics, an omics technology to enable simultaneous…2018 American Transplant Congress
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…
