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…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Pre-Operative Opioid Use on Delayed Graft Function in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background and Objectives: Opioid use is associated with AKI and ATN through both direct and indirect mechanisms, including alterations in the autonomic nervous system, the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Implementation of Intensive Standardized Follow-Up in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction & Objective: Kidney transplant recipients have higher rates of prolonged hospitalization and readmission rates. We aimed to identify modifiable predictors of 30-day readmission and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Etiologies and Long-Term Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in Older Kidney Transplant Recipients
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
Older kidney transplant recipients face challenges of post-transplant complications related to frailty and comorbidity burden. They are particularly vulnerable to acute kidney injury (AKI) due…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Renal Parenchymal Calcifications in a Cohort of Renal Transplanted Patients and Their Correlations with Long Term Graft Outcome
Background: Renal calcifications(RC) have been described in kidney transplantation(KTx), but the aetiologyand significance of this finding are still unclear. Our aim is to evaluate the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Peri-Operative Hemoglobin, Blood Transfusion and Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Studies in the non-kidney transplant (KT) literature support an absolute hemoglobin concentration (Hb) threshold of 70 g/L for transfusion, unless otherwise indicated. Some reports…
