Concordance Between Pancreatic Rejection and Kidney Rejection and Kidney Survival in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplantation.
Transplant Nephrology, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN.
Purpose: It is not known whether pancreas rejection is associated with increased kidney rejection. Also, it is not known whether pancreas survival affects kidney and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Immunological Ageing-Related Expansion of Highly Differentiated CD4+CD28null T Cells Is Associated with a Lower Risk for Early Acute Rejection After Renal Transplantation.
Background: End-stage renal disease patients have a dysfunctional, prematurely aged peripheral T-cell system. Here we hypothesized that the degree of premature T-cell ageing before kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
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…2015 American Transplant Congress
Progression of Coronary Artery Disease in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Renal Transplantation
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, London, United Kingdom.
Asymptomatic coronary artery disease [CAD] is common in patients with end-stage renal disease [ESRD]. While coronary revascularization prior to transplantation is associated with improved patient…2015 American Transplant Congress
Incidence, Determinants and Outcome of Kidney Transplantation for End Stage Renal Disease After Heart Transplantation
Objectives: Progressive renal failure is a frequent complication following heart transplantation (HTx), is generally attributed to calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) based immunosuppression, and may result in…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Synergistic Effect of Class II HLA Epitope-Mismatch and Non-Adherence on Acute Rejection and Graft Survival
Predicting long-term outcomes in renal transplant recipients is essential to optimize medical therapy and determine the frequency of post-transplant pathologic and serologic monitoring. Non-adherence and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Markers of Inflammation Between Dialysis Patients With and Without Failed Kidney Allograft
BACKGROUND: The rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with a failed kidney transplant are higher than dialysis patients who had never been transplanted. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
