Traditional immunosuppressive regimens (ISR) used in lung transplantation rely on calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) that occasionally cause severe adverse reactions necessitating discontinuation. Belatacept is a novel costimulation antagonist approved for use renal which lacks data transplantation. This series aims to describe the response belatacept ISR 11 recipients after CNI failure.Single-center, retrospective medical record review of adult transplant (LTR) before and conversion...
Abstract There is a paucity of data on the use SGLT2 inhibitors outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. may be concern initiating these agents, especially within first year post‐transplant when renal function more labile and immunosuppression intense, due to presumed high risk urinary infections acute injury. This retrospective study 50 recipients, half whom were started therapy transplant. Over follow‐up period 6 months, overall patients had statistically significant improvement weight by...
Abstract Background Valganciclovir is the preferred drug for cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis in solid organ transplantation. A limitation to its use profound myelosuppression. Letermovir a new agent approved CMV hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and associated with less toxicity. This study aims assess effectiveness safety of letermovir Methods single‐center, matched cohort was performed on 31 transplant recipients who were converted from valganciclovir November 2017 June 2020. The...
Circulating donor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA), a minimally invasive diagnostic tool for kidney transplant rejection, was validated using traditional histology. The molecular microscope system (MMDx) tissue gene expression platform may provide increased precision to histology.In this single-center prospective study of 208 biopsies (median = 5.8 mo) posttransplant, we report on the calibration cfDNA with simultaneous biopsy assessments MMDx and histology by area under curve (AUC) analyses...
Introduction: Since the largest study on extensively drug-resistant organisms and lung transplantation in patients with cystic fibrosis, there have been innovations advancements treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Research Question: What differences exist for fibrosis a history infections who undergo despite advances antimicrobial therapy? Study Design: Two-center, retrospective, cohort conducted 44 chronically infected received transplant from January 2008 through August 2016. Patients...
Abstract Background Blood transfusions are the most common procedure performed in American hospitals. The steps required for blood product delivery often misunderstood by providers, leading to numerous phone calls bank requesting order status. Distracting can lengthen turnaround time, especially during or staff shortages. We sought a tool address these questions and reduce distraction. This study highlights novel tracker implemented electronic health record (EHR) that allows providers see...
Information regarding Coronavirus disease 2019 in the transplant population is lacking. Recently it has been suggested that cycle threshold values obtained on polymerase chain reaction tests may serve as a marker of severity with lower (i.e., higher viral load) being associated mortality. This study was done to assess impact remdesivir use time negative COVID-19 PCR well degree change between two Ct’s based treatment. A total 30 kidney patients new diagnosis were assessed. Serial results...
