Urinary Proteomic Biomarkers Discovery for Prediction of Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Internal Medicine, Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu, Republic of Korea
Background: Early prediction and treatment of acute rejection are crucial in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) to prevent allograft loss. Changes in the serum and urinary…2017 American Transplant Congress
Antibiotic Prophylaxis Against Urinary Tract Infections After Renal Transplant.
1Pharmacy, University of Colorado, Aurora, CO; 2Nephrology, University of Colorado, Aurora, CO
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common infectious complication after kidney transplant. Previous research at our center showed sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) use for PCP prophylaxis…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…2017 American Transplant Congress
Ciprofloxacin for Urinary Tract Infection Prophylaxis in Post-Renal Transplant Patients with Ureteral Stent Placement.
Hume-Lee Transplant Center, Virginia Commonwealth University Health, Richmond, VA
BackgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection post renal transplant. Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX-TMP) is often the antibiotic drug of choice due to prophylaxis coverage…2017 American Transplant Congress
Minor Degree of Persistent Microscopic Hematuria in Potential Living Kidney Donors Is Associated with Pathology.
Purpose: A threshold of ≥3 rbc/hpf (red blood cells/high power field) or higher prompts additional testing when evaluating potential living kidney donors at most centers…2017 American Transplant Congress
Uromodulin and Toll-Like Receptor 4 Levels Predict Susceptibility to Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection After Renal Transplantation.
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) remains the most common bacterial infection after kidney transplantation (kTx) and is associated with reduced allograft function as well as…2016 American Transplant Congress
MicroRNAs in Urinary Sediments as Non-Invasive Tool to Detect Acute Rejection After Kidney Transplantation.
MicroRNAs in urine are suitable targets for non-invasive detection of acute rejection (AR), since they represent relatively stable analytes. Indeed, we found that PCR signals…2016 American Transplant Congress
ER Stress and Loss of GRP78 Expression Provides a Link Between Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and the Urinary Metabolome.
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) profoundly impacts graft survival following kidney transplantation. Epithelial injury is one of the earliest histological alterations of IRI and is especially observed…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Urine Common Rejection Module (uCRM) Is a Sentinal Assay for Graft Rejection.
1Surgery, UCSF, San Francisco, CA; 2Nephrology, Bellevitage Hospital, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: A common rejection module (CRM) consisting of 11 genes are expressed in solid organ transplant rejection in kidney, heart, liver and lung transplantation (Khatri,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Measures to Reduce Early Urinary Tract Infections Following Kidney Transplantation: A Single Center Experience.
Nephrology and Hypertension, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
Urinary Tract infection (UTI) following kidney transplantation (KTx) is associated with increased morbidity. We implemented simple clinical measures in an attempt to reduce UTI incidence…
