Background:This study investigates the impact of pre-existing (PDM) and new onset diabetes (NODAT) on the graft and patient survival after kidney transplant.Methods:The UNOS database was…2016 American Transplant Congress
Survival Benefit of DCD Livers.
Liver transplantation benefits registrants with MELD≥18. However, this benefit no doubt varies by donor characteristics, and the benefit of DCD livers remains unclear.Methods: We used…2016 American Transplant Congress
Predicting the Timing of Graft Failure in De Novo DSA Positive Patients.
The risk of graft failure after de novo DSA (dnDSA) is not always immediate. To make more informed therapeutic decisions in dnDSA+ patients, we need…2016 American Transplant Congress
Does Pre-Emptive Transplantation Improve Survival Compared to Transplantation After Dialysis Among Deceased Donor Kidney Recipients?
Previous studies have shown that pre-emptive transplantation of kidneys from living donors is associated with longer graft survival than those who have initiated dialysis prior…2016 American Transplant Congress
Robotic Kidney Transplantation in Obese Recipients Can Lead to Superior Outcomes in Terms of Wound Infection and Graft Survival – 48 Months of Follow-up.
Surgery, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL.
Introduction: Traditionally kidney transplantation (KT) in obese recipients has been associated with high rates of surgical site infections (SSI). We hypothesize that robotic kidney transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Isolated Pediatric Small Intestine Transplants Using Vascular Homografts.
MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC.
Background/aim: Pediatric intestinal transplantation has changed recently with more isolated small intestine transplants being performed in small children instead of combined liver-intestine transplants. Consequently, surgical…2016 American Transplant Congress

Survival Benefit of Kidney Transplantation in US Adults with Sickle Cell Nephropathy.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) are less likely to receive a kidney transplant (KT) than ESRD patients without SCN. Comparing…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of C3d and C1q-Binding DSA Detected Long-Term After Kidney Transplantation.
HLA DSA detected after kidney transplantation(KT) correlate with outcome, but not all are equal and produce the same functional consequences. Early complement-binding DSA were asssociated…
