Acute Kidney Injury in the Early Post Kidney Transplant Period: Frequency, Etiology and Significance
Acute kidney injury (AKI) post kidney transplant has not been well described using current diagnostic criteria. The frequency and etiology of AKI in the first…2015 American Transplant Congress
Mitochondrial Hydrogen Sulphide Donor Molecules Are More Effective Against Hypoxic Injury in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Introduction: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in organ transplant often manifests itself as delayed graft function (DGF). DGF is associated with increased morbidity and deleterious effects…2015 American Transplant Congress
Proximal Tubular Dysfunction Is Common After the First Year of Kidney Transplantation
Background: After the initial period of kidney transplantation, the prevalence of proximal tubular dysfunction (PTD) and its consequences are unknown. The aim of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Acute Kidney Injury and Outcome After Cardiac Transplantation
Background:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a frequently seen complication after cardiac transplantation and is partly explained by the prolonged use of calcineurin inhibitors. However, few…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is the Pulsatile Kidney Preservation Machine a Vaulable Tool in Evaluating Kidney Suitability from Older Donors After Brain Death?
Introduction: Donors after Brain Death (DBD) older than 60 years old, have become 46.8% of our donor activity, with higher Discard Rate (DR). Assessment of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Gradual Warming Up Perfusion Post Static Cold Storage Reduces Renal Injury
We hypothesize that the sudden warm reperfusion after Cold Storage [CS] is detrimental for the graft and we therefore evaluated different warming-up procedures before reperfusion.Methods:Rat…2015 American Transplant Congress
100 Protocol Renal Allograft Biopsies at 10 Years: First Look at the Tacrolimus Era
This study examined late renal allograft injury in the Tacrolimus era in 10-yr protocol biopsies (Bx).Methods One hundred 10-yr protocol allograft bx were assessed using…2015 American Transplant Congress
Banff Criteria Are Inadequate to Assess Chronic Renal Allograft Injury 10 Years Post-Transplantation
Background: The Banff criteria have been developed to assess acute and chronic injury in renal allografts. However, the criteria have been based on biopsies for…2015 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Classifiers Accurately Measure the Degree of Fibrosis in Human Kidney Transplant Biopsies
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Irreversible injury in organ transplants is an important clinical parameter, and is estimated by histology as the observed “ci” lesion, but with considerable inter-observer variability…2015 American Transplant Congress
Surgical Error: A Common, Preventable Threat to Deceased Donor Organs
Deceased donor procurements (N = 340) performed through a single organ procurement organization during a 19 month period from 7/1/13 - 11/30/14 were reviewed through…
