Population-Based Modeling of Prototypes and Determinants of Allograft Function Trajectories after Kidney Transplantation: Impact for Patient Monitoring and Risk Stratification
*Purpose: Although the current gold standard of kidney allograft patients monitoring relies on GFR assessment, little is known about long-term GFR trajectories prototypes and their…2019 American Transplant Congress
Kidney-Intrinsic Innate Immunity and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathways are Key Determinants of Severity of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Following Transplantation
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following kidney transplantation (KTx) frequently leads to delayed graft function and is detrimental to graft longevity. Causes and susceptibilities of KTx…2019 American Transplant Congress
Usefulness of the Assessment of CT-Based Donor Kidney Function Compared with Radionuclide Scintigraphy
*Purpose: Pretransplant graft volume and function has been demonstrated to be an important factor in subsequent allograft outcomes. Most transplant centers underwent renal split function…2019 American Transplant Congress
Early Pancreas Loss in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplants: Does It Matter for the Kidney?
*Purpose: Surgical and immunosuppressive refinements have led to improved outcomes in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplants. Despite these improvements, early pancreas allograft loss remains not insignificant.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy and Safety Outcomes with De Novo Use of Everolimus-Based Regimen in Renal Transplant Recipients with Delayed Graft Function from the TRANSFORM Study
1TRANSFORM Study Group, Basel, Switzerland, 2Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland
*Purpose: To evaluate the effect of everolimus with reduced CNI (EVR+rCNI) vs mycophenolic acid with standard CNI (MPA+sCNI) on efficacy and safety outcomes in RTxR…2019 American Transplant Congress
High Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Lipocalins (NGAL) Levels in Kidney Perfusates as Predictor of a Better Renal Function
DIMES, S.Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna University, Bologna, Italy
*Purpose: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has recently emerged as a biomarker of different conditions, but the biological role remains unclear. We hypnotized that NGAL has…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) Predicts the Risk of Graft Loss in Patients with a Kidney Transplant from Maastricht Type III Asystolic Donors
Nephrology, H.R.U Carlos Haya, Málaga, Spain
*Purpose: Recent years have seen an increase in the number of kidney transplants (KT) from Maastricht type III asystolic donors, resulting in the acceptance criteria…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Influential Yet Highly Variable Role of Biopsy Findings on Kidney Offer Acceptance Decisions: An Organ Offer Simulation Study
*Purpose: The use of procurement biopsies (Bx) to assess kidney quality is controversial. ‘Biopsy findings’ is an often cited discard reason, yet the association between…2019 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Everolimus with Reduced-Exposure Tacrolimus and Early Steroid Elimination in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients: 36-Month Outcomes from the CRADLE Study
1A2314 Study Group, Basel, Switzerland, 2Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland
*Purpose: To compare 36-month (M) efficacy and safety outcomes of an everolimus+reduced-exposure tacrolimus (EVR+rTAC)+steroids (CS) withdrawal regimen vs mycophenolate mofetil+standard-exposure TAC (MMF+sTAC)+CS in pediatric kidney…2019 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Delayed Renal Allograft Function after DCD with New Biomarkers in Donor Blood
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
*Purpose: To explore the relationship between new biomarkers in donor blood and delayed graft function (DGF) after DCD kidney transplantation, and to evaluate the clinical…
