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…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is There a Difference in Patient and Graft Survival in Children Weighing <20 kg Versus Those Weighing >20 kg at the Time of Renal Transplantation?
Introduction: Renal transplantation (RTx) is the gold standard treatment modality for end-stage kidney disease. There are increased challenges in pediatric renal transplant recipients (pRTR) under…2015 American Transplant Congress
Risk of Cause-Specific ESRD in Live Kidney Donors
The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk of developing cause-specific ESRD in live kidney donors over time.METHODS: We studied a cohort of…2015 American Transplant Congress
1-Year Safety and Efficacy of Eculizumab in Adult aHUS Patients, With or Without a History of Renal Transplant
Background: Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a life-threatening, chronic disease of complement-mediated TMA. In aHUS, renal transplantation is associated with post-transplant (TP) TMA and ∼50–70%…2015 American Transplant Congress
Cumulative Incidence, Risk Factors for and Impact on Survival of Severe Chronic Kidney Disease After Intestinal Transplantation: Analysis of the SRTR Database
Background: Patient and graft survival rates after intestinal transplantation (ITx) have improved. More ITx recipients achieve long-term survival and are at risk for severe chronic…
