Probability of Developing Chronic Kidney Disease 1 Year after Living Donor Nephrectomy Correlates with Baseline Kidney Volume and Function
University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT.
Purpose: Living kidney donor outcomes are tremendously important, especially given expanding donor eligibility. Relative to other predictors, the relationship between remaining kidney volume and post-donation…2018 American Transplant Congress
Benefit of Anti-Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin(HBIG) Monotherapy Compared to HBIG Combined with Entecavir in Long Term Renal Function
Background: To reduce the HBV reinfection after liver transplantation, anti-hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) alone or combination with antiviral nucleotide analogues are usually used regimen. However,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Non-Invasive Proteomics to Detect Biomarkers for Kidney Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Non-invasive biomarkers are needed for monitoring patients to predict early acute rejection (AR). We hypothesized that protein biomarkers released from rejecting allograft tissues can…2018 American Transplant Congress
Postoperative Renal Function Predicts Length of Stay for Incisional Hernia Repair after Liver Transplantation
Transplant Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN.
Background: Incisional hernia repair (IHR) is the most frequently performed general surgery procedure after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Although enhanced recovery protocols for general surgery…2018 American Transplant Congress
Association of Leptin with Cystatin C in Kidney Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Non-invasive biomarkers are needed for monitoring recipients of kidney allografts to predict acute rejection (AR). We hypothesized that protein biomarkers released from rejecting allograft…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
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…
