Characterization Of Microscopic Hematuria Following Renal Transplant
*Purpose: The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends a CT Urography and cystoscopy for the evaluation of a single episode of microscopic hematuria (MH) in the…2019 American Transplant Congress
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…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary TIMP-2 Predicts the Presence and Duration of Delayed Graft Function in DCD Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) are promising biomarkers in acute kidney injury. Here, we investigated the performance…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Microbiome Associated with Chronic Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplants
Background: Microbiome dysbiosis can lead to poor outcomes after kidney transplant (tx) presumably due to immune dysregulation elicited by the microbiome. We hypothesize that chronic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Tract Infections May Be Associated with De Novo Donor-Specific Anti-Human Leucocyte Antigen Antibodies: Single-Center Study
Introduction: We have recently shown that immunosuppression reduction with BK virus is associated with the development of de novo donor anti-human leukocyte antigen-specific antibodies (dnDSA).…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Non-Invasive Urinary Common Rejection Module (uCRM) Gene Expression Score Quantifies and Differentiates Kidney Transplant Injury.
1University of California San Francisco, San Francisco; 2Immucor Inc, Atlanta
We sought to investigate the use of the common rejection module (CRM) genes in the discrimination of AR, BKVN, and stable transplant phenotypes in urine…
