    Profound Effect of HDAC2 Deletion on Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Is Intrinsic to the Kidney and Includes Protection Against Cold Ischemia

    D. Aufhauser, Jr.,1 Z. Wang,1 S. Cheraghlou,1 T. Bhatti,2 W. Hancock,2,3 M. Levine.1,4

    1Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; 2Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA; 3Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; 4Department of Surgery, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.

    Introduction: Histone/protein deacetylases (HDACs) regulate gene expression by modifying chromatin accessibility and protein acetylation. We have previously found that deletion of HDAC2 protects from renal…

    Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNI) Minimization Associated With Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Inhibitors (i-mTOR) to Improve Renal Function in Renal Grafts from Uncontrolled Donation After Cardiac Death Donors (UDCDD)

    M. Molina,1 E. Gutierrez,1 S. González-Sanchidrian,2 E. González,1 J. Cabrera,1 N. Polanco,1 A. Hernández,1 A. Sevillano,1 M. Praga,1 A. Andres.1

    1Nephrology, Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain; 2Nephrology, Hospital San Pedro de Alcántara, Caceres, Spain.

    INTRODUCTION: Ischemia injury in kidneys grafts from UDCDD could produce a poor renal function. Minimized blood levels of CNI associated with i-mTOR therapy could avoid…

    Correlation of Serum Creatinine-Based Equations With Radionuclide GFR in Candidates for Liver Transplantation

    A. Alqallaf, A. Alam, P. Ghali, M. Cantarovich.

    McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.

    Background: Renal dysfunction is common prior to liver transplantation (LTx); however, the best way to determine the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) pre-LTx is unclear. Our…

    Molecular Classifiers Accurately Measure the Degree of Fibrosis in Human Kidney Transplant Biopsies

    J. Venner, J. Reeve, P. Halloran.

    University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

    Irreversible injury in organ transplants is an important clinical parameter, and is estimated by histology as the observed “ci” lesion, but with considerable inter-observer variability…
