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

Causes of Poor Renal Function of Kidney Transplants from Uncontrolled Donation After Cardiac Death Donors (UDCDD)
Nephrology, Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain.
INTRODUCTION: Kidneys grafts from UDCDD have higher ischemia injury. It develops in higher primary non function, lower graft survival and worst renal function compared to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Elderly ESRD Patients Have a Significantly Narrowed T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Diversity
IntroductionA diverse T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is central to effective T-cell mediated immune responses to foreign antigens. Patients suffering from end stage renal disease (ESRD)…2015 American Transplant Congress
T Cell Specific Up Regulation of Nrf2 Regulated Antioxidant Response Protects from Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Mice
Background: T lymphocytes mediate important pathophysiological roles during ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Transcription factor Nrf2 is protective during experimental kidney IRI and thought to be…2015 American Transplant Congress
Dendritic Cells in Kidney Transplant Biopsies Are Associated With Poor Allograft Survival
Background: Long-term renal allograft survival continues to lag behind the progress seen in short-term transplant outcomes. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most efficient antigen-presenting cells,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Severe Sarcopenia and Increased Fat Stores in Pediatric Patients With Liver, Kidney and Intestine Failure
Transplant Division, Dept of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Background: Recent research suggests that measures of frailty, such as nutrition status, may be important predictors of surgical and transplant outcomes. The objectively calculated degree…2015 American Transplant Congress
Renal Tubular Dysfunction Following Donor Nephrectomy and Its Impact On Residual Kidney Function
Background: Recent publications have described an increasing incidence of end stage renal disease amongst kidney donors. This highlights the paucity of knowledge which exists in…
