The Interlink ELITE designation is a prestigious recognition for transplant programs, indicating exceptional performance within the industry. To achieve this status, programs must not only meet stringent credentialing requirements but also earn an INTERLINK Performance Score significantly higher than that of ...
transplant programs. This effort includes 260 academic and community-based programs with kidneys recovered from 58 OPOs (Figure 1). Approximately half of these programs perform 90% of kidney transplants eligible for APOLLO. To foster universal participation, the SDRC aligned each of the 13 CCs ...
Before you donate your kidney, you need to understand the procedure and know the risks and benefits. You may want to talk with your friends and family about your decision. To get information on the process, talk to an advocate, which every living donor transplant center must make available t...
transplant dysfunction. Acute rejection is triggered by the recognition of the HLA antigens and other alloantigens exposed on the tubular epithelial cells, endothelium and mesangial cells of the graft by the T lymphocytes of the recipient. CD (cluster of differentiation) 8+ T cells, which a...

RNA was isolated from 56 FFPE sections (3 x 20 µm) including 48 sequential renal allograft biopsies from 12 Cynomolgus monkeys that developed ABMR after tolerance induction protocols without specific ABMR treatment (Smith et al Am J Transplant 8:1662, 2008) and compared with 8 normal kidney ...
In kidney transplantation, day-zero biopsies are used to assess organ quality and discriminate between donor-inherited lesions and those acquired post-transplantation. However, many centers do not perform such biopsies since they are invasive, costly and may delay the transplant procedure. We aim to...
309 Furthermore, alterations in ET-1 signaling have been implicated in a host of renal diseases, including acute and chronic renal failure, essential hypertension, glomerulonephritis, renal fibrosis, and renal transplant rejection.307,310-315 Important vasodilators within the renal circulation include ...
