Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Cystatin C Provides the Best Prediction of Cardiovascular Events and Mortality Compared to Measured GFR and Creatinine Based GFR in Kidney Transplant Recipients
1Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ, 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
*Purpose: GFR estimated by cystatin C (CysC) is a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality compared to eGFR by creatinine (Cr) in native…2020 American Transplant Congress
Retinal Vein Occlusion Incidence in Kidney Transplant Recipients in South Korea: A Long-Term Population-Based Study
*Purpose: The risk of retinal vein occlusion(RVO) is known to increase in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, little is…2020 American Transplant Congress
Determinants of Cardiovascular Benefit Observed in a Population with a Functioning Renal Transplant versus Patients Undergoing Chronic Dialysis
Nephrology, CEMIC, Caba, Argentina

Standardization of Pre-Transplant Cardiac Testing in Kidney Transplant Recipients is Associated with Lower Post-Transplant Cardiac Events
*Purpose: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality after kidney transplantation and optimal approaches to pre-transplant cardiac testing are not well defined. We applied…2020 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy by Intravascular Ultrasound 6 Weeks and One Year after Heart Transplantation: A Single Center Study
Cardiology, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
*Purpose: Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) continues to be a common cause of morbidity and mortality in heart transplant recipients. Little is known about the timing…2020 American Transplant Congress
Late Onset Primary Graft Dysfunction after Lung Transplantation Correlates with Transplant Arteriosclerosis in a Humanized Mouse Model
*Purpose: Primary Graft dysfunction (PGD) is one of the most important causes of early mortality after lung transplantation. We investigated the correlation between the incidence…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Increased Visceral Fat in Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: An increased amount of visceral fat (VF) has been reported as a precursor to metabolic syndrome and is a risk factor for renal dysfunction.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Prognostic Value Of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography In Heart Transplantation Recipients
Division of Cardiology/ JC Walter Jr. Transplant Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX
