End Stage Renal Disease Patients Have a Skewed T Cell Receptor Vbeta Repertoire.
IntroductionEnd stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with a defective T-cell mediated immunity, resembling premature T-cell ageing. A diverse T-cell receptor Vbeta (TCR Vβ) repertoire…2016 American Transplant Congress
Survival Advantage in the Elderly with Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Patients with established renal failure (ERF) are aging. Of patients starting dialysis at our centre a third and a half are over the age…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation Offers a Significant Survival Advantage Compared to Waitlisting, a Single Centre Experience.
Background: Kidney transplantation is associated with lower mortality and improved quality of life for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Survival in dialysis and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Is MELD Score a Significant Predictor of Post-Transplant Mortality? An Old Issue with Simple Answer.
The predictive value of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score for post-transplant survival has been under constant debate. Some investigators tried to introduce…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Pre-Transplant Dialysis Duration Reverses the “Nephroprotective Effect” in Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant Recipients.
University of Florida, Gainesville.
Past literature has suggested that simultaneous liver-kidney(SLK) transplant recipients may experience a nephroprotective effect compared to kidney(Ki) alone transplant recipients. Since hepatorenal syndrome is a…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) on Rates of Delayed Graft Function (DGF).
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) is the need for dialysis within the first 7 days after kidney transplantation. Immunologic and non-immunologic donor and recipient factors…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hyponatremia in Early Post Lung Transplantation Predicts Patient and Hospital Outcomes.
Background: Outcomes of hyponatremia during immediate post-lung transplantation are unknown. We aim to identify the incidence of postoperative hyponatremia and its outcomes.Methods: All lung transplantations…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Emptive Kidney Transplantation with Living- Donor and Concomitant Unilateral Nephrectomy in Patients with Autosomal-Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Safe Strategy?
Objectives. Because the timing of the nephrectomy still remains unclear, we studied the complications and outcomes of unilateral nephrectomy and concomitant pre-emptive kidney transplant with…2016 American Transplant Congress
Parameters of Uremia-Associated Premature Ageing of Peripheral T Cells Do Not Predict Infectious Complications After Renal Transplantation.
Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients have a prematurely aged T-cell system, which may contribute to the uremia-associated immune deficiency. In this study we tested…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation with Strong Preformed Donor-Specific Antibodies: Impact of C1q-Binding Ability.
1Nephrology, CHP, Porto, Portugal; 2CSTP, Porto, Portugal.
HLA-incompatible kidney transplantation is associated with worse outcomes given the presence of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA). Our aim was to investigate the association between preformed…
