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
*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…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
Kinetic Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate and Urine Creatinine as Predictors of Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation from Non-Heart Beating Donors.
Nephrology, Hospital Clínico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain
Predicting the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF) and its duration can facilitate the management of patients after kidney transplantation (KT). Methods: A retrospective study…
