Determinants of Cardiovascular Benefit Observed in a Population with a Functioning Renal Transplant versus Patients Undergoing Chronic Dialysis
Nephrology, CEMIC, Caba, Argentina
*Purpose: Patients (pts) with end stage renal disease have a high morbidity and mortality rate, mostly due to cardiovascular events (CV). Transplantation (Tx) improves survival…2020 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Transplant in Chronic Kidney Disease for Type 1 Diabetic Patients
*Purpose: Although both pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) and islet cell transplantation (ICT) have been associated with peri-operative declines in eGFR, the magnitude of decline is…2020 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of De Novo Belatacept-Based Immunosuppression in Recipients of Kidneys at High Risk for Delayed Graft Function in the Setting of Lymphocyte Depleting Immune Modulation
*Purpose: Our center created an immunosuppression protocol using de novo belatacept (DNB) in the setting of lymphocyte depletion to increase the utilization of deceased donor…2020 American Transplant Congress
Does Donor Terminal, Admission or Best Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate Predicts Kidney Transplantation Outcomes
*Purpose: When assessing deceased kidney donors, a key factor is donor kidney function. It is unclear whether terminal, admission, or the best of terminal and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Trajectories of Glomerular Filtration Rate and Progression to End Stage Renal Disease after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Although the current gold standard of monitoring kidney transplant function relies on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment, little is known about GFR trajectories after…2020 American Transplant Congress
Successful Transplantation Outcomes Utilizing Deceased Donorswith Acute Kidney Injury
Kidney and Kidney/Pancreas Transplant, Miami Transplant Institute, Miami, FL
*Purpose: Kidneys from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) are discarded at a higher rate than those without AKI, exacerbating the organ shortage crisis.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Conversion to Belatacept in HIV(+) Renal Transplant Recipients
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY
*Purpose: HIV(+) renal transplant recipients were excluded from phase III trials of belatacept, and currently there are only scattered case reports.*Methods: This was a single…2020 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Graft Function Adversely Affects Long-Term Survival for Kidney Recipients after Non-Renal Solid-Organ Transplantation
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently develops after nonrenal solid-organ transplantation, increasing the number of patients with a prior heart, liver or lung transplant on…2020 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Conversion: Are Patients BENEFIT-ing
Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY
*Purpose: Belatacept is increasingly used in renal transplant recipients experiencing adverse effects from calcineurin inhibitors(CNI) despite limited medium- and long- term data on safety and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Use of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers Therapy Prior to Kidney Transplantation Does Not Impact Recovery of Function
*Purpose: The impact of chronically administered medications for renin-angiotensin-aldosterone blockade (e.g. ACE-I, ARB), taken prior to kidney transplant (KTx), on immediate allograft function is unknown.*Methods:…
