The Impact of Antibiotic Therapy on Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Asymptomatic Bacteriuria
1Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI, 2MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC
*Purpose: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) occurs in nearly 50% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) in the first year post-transplant. Data evaluating the risk of untreated ASB…2019 American Transplant Congress
Elevated Urinary Injury Biomarkers in Deceased Donors Are Not Associated with Long-Term Kidney Transplant Outcomes
*Purpose: In the United States, over 90,000 people are on the kidney transplant waiting list and could benefit from more donor organs. Kidneys from deceased-donors…2019 American Transplant Congress
Need of a New Formula to Estimate Creatinine Clearance in Immediate Post Kidney Transplant Period with Functioning Allograft
*Purpose: Introduction: Post kidney transplant (KTx), with functioning renal allograft, serum creatinine continues to decrease at a variable rate until it stabilizes after a few…2019 American Transplant Congress
Multidisciplinary Transplant UTI Service; Challenging the Stalemate
Guy's Hospital, London, United Kingdom
*Purpose: Symptomatic UTIs (urinary tract infections) cause a significantly detrimental effect on long term graft function. Immunosuppression coupled with underlying renal or urological abnormality makes…2019 American Transplant Congress
Characterization Of Microscopic Hematuria Following Renal Transplant

Transport Medium Fluid Cultures in Paediatric Renal Transplantation: Are We Ready to Make a Consensus on Prophylaxis?
*Purpose: To establish the rate of positive transport medium fluid cultures and sensitivity to antibiotics in paediatric renal transplant recipients.*Methods: We analysed the electronic records…2019 American Transplant Congress
Low Specific Gravity Of First Morning Urine Predicts Bkvn in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Bk Viruria
*Purpose: BK Polyomavirus nephropathy (BKVN) is an important cause of dysfunction and failure of renal transplants. BKV usually infects urinary tract retrogradely. The collecting duct…2018 American Transplant Congress
Activity Nanosensors for Early and Noninvasive Detection of Acute Organ Transplant Rejection
Purpose: We engineered activity nanosensors that sense anti-allograft T cell activity in vivo to noninvasively detect the onset of acute cellular rejection from urine.Methods: Granzyme…2018 American Transplant Congress
Non-Invasive Diagnostic of Renal Allograft Rejection via Urine Metabolites Using NMR-Spectroscopy
Introduction and BackgroundPost-transplant surveillance for acute rejection is typically based on regular monitoring of serum creatinine levels and consecutive biopsies upon functional renal impairment. Attempts…2018 American Transplant Congress
Diagnostic Value and Confounding Factors of Urinary Biomarkers in the Non-Invasive Screening of Renal Allograft Inflammation
IntroductionThe value of urinary biomarkers has already been demonstrated in diagnosing acute rejection of the renal allograft, but confounding factors, which may interfere with their…
