Tuberculosis among Kidney Transplant Patients Compared to Dialysis and Non-Dialysis CKD Patients over a Decade Period
USRDS showed that 1.2% & 1.6% incidences of tuberculosis-TB in patients on peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis-HD, respectively. Kidney transplant-KTX patients have higher rates.We studied the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Kidney Allograft Outcomes Following Identification of Transplant Glomerulopathy by Electron Microscopy
LSU Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, LA.
We have previously shown that electron microscopy (EM) can facilitate early diagnosis of transplant glomerulopathy (TG) in pediatric kidney transplant biopsies (Bx) with normal light…2018 American Transplant Congress
Role of Calcium/Calmodulin Kinase IV on Podocyte Function in Transplant Glomerulopathy
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston.
Background : Transplant glomerulopathy(TG) a histological manifestation of chronic antibody mediated rejection and a major cause of late allograft loss. It is well accepted that…2018 American Transplant Congress
Donor Plasma Mitochondrial DNA Predicts Post-Transplant Renal Allograft Outcomes
The lack of an accurate biomarker makes it difficult to determine whether an organ is acceptable for transplantation. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) correlates with tissue damage…2018 American Transplant Congress
Late Conversion from Calcineurin Inhibitors to Belatacept is Associated with a Sustained Improvement in Kidney Allograft Function
Medicine/Nephrology, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction: Belatacept was shown to have longer kidney graft survival and higher eGFR at 7 years than a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based regimen in the BENEFIT…2018 American Transplant Congress
Effects of the Addition of Mycophenolate Mofetil on Renal Outcomes in Liver Transplant Recipients: A Single Center Review
Purpose: To evaluate the use of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and its effects on renal outcomes in liver transplant recipientsMethods: Adult liver transplant recipients from September…2017 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Donation After Brain Death Followed by Circulatory Death Confers Comparable Outcomes with Kidney Donation After Brain Death.
The shortage of donor organs is an obstacle to meet the growing need of grafts. Although using DBD donors is the best available strategy, brain…2017 American Transplant Congress
Technical Characteristics, Optimization and Outcomes of Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy Performed on Kidney Transplant Patients.
Nephrology Service, Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, Badalona, Spain
MATERIAL AND METHODS:From Januray 2014 to August 2016, 183 US-guided renal graft biopsies were performed in our institution.We decided to optimize our biopsy protocol, from…2017 American Transplant Congress
Urine Biomarkers (UBio) Correlate Poorly with Pre-Liver Transplant (LT) Kidney Biopsy Findings and Post-LT Kidney Function.
UBio might be valuable in determining the etiology of renal dysfunction in LT candidates.Aim: Correlate UBio with pre-LT kidney biopsy and post-LT kidney function.Methods:78 LT…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pre-OLT CKD-3 Increases Post-OLT ESRD and AKI Impacts Early Post-OLT Survival.
Recanati Miller Transplant Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Irvington, NY
Current combined Liver-kidney allocation protocols allocate dual organs based on sustained glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) of 30ml/min or less. It is unclear whether milder renal…
