Kidney Structural Characteristics as Predictors of Long-Term Kidney Function in Living Kidney Donors.
PurposeKidney structural characteristics may be predictive of long-term living donor outcomes such as a lower estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).MethodsAs part of the Renal and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Creation of a Small Animal Model of Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) for Treatment of Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) Injury.
Department of Surgery, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA.
Purpose: Recent studies have suggested that EVNP may be utilized to assess and repair marginal donor organs subjected to severe I/R injury. The lack of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Standardized Pre-Implantation Kidney Biopsies of Expanded Criteria Donors to Improve the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) for the Evaluation of Marginal Donors.
There is no consensus of selection criteria used to allocate renal transplants from expanded criteria donors (ECD). The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) has been…2016 American Transplant Congress
Renal Efficiency: A New Metric for Evaluating Kidneys in Living Donors.
The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
Donor age, quality of the graft, and the size/weight of the donated kidney are factors that may affect subsequent transplant outcomes. Morphological renal measurements may…2016 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Renal Outcomes Between ABO-Incompatible and Kidney Paired Donation Transplantation In Living Donors.
Kidney Transplant Unit, UCSF, San Francisco, CA.
Introduction: ABO incompatible transplantation (ABOi Tx) broadens the donor pool and decreases wait times for patients who don't have a blood type compatible living kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Living Kidney Donor Nephrectomy.
Introduction: Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a marker for acute kidney injury. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative uNGAL in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Follow Up Reveals Satisfactory Renal Outcome in Pacreas After Kidney Transplantation (PAK)
Objective: PAK offers diabetic ESRD patients' opportunity to avoid or minimize dialysis using living kidney donation, followed by cadaveric pancreas transplantation thereafter to restore euglycemia,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Creatinine Based Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and Iothalamate-Measured GFR (mGFR) Following Simultaneous Pancreas – Kidney Transplantation
University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland.
Objective: Creatinine based eGFR equations may overestimate the true GFR in simulataneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant patients, owing to the low lean body mass in these…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Abdominal Aortic Calcification in Living Kidney Donors
Introduction: To assess the association between abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and renal function of living kidney donor and to evaluate the value of an AAC…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Primary Cytomegalovirus Infection Post-Transplantation Has a Significant Impact on Circulating T Cells and Renal Allograft Function
Study's purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infection may profoundly affect the peripheral T-cell compartment and is associated with T-cell ageing and generation of cytotoxic CD4+CD28null T cells. We…
