Inflammation in Early Kidney Allograft Surveillance Biopsies With and Without Associated Tubulointerstitial Chronic Damage as a Predictor of Fibrosis Progression and Development of De Novo Donor Specific Antibodies.<\/strong> [published online May 10, 2017].
Garc\u00eda-Carro C, D\u00f6rje C, \u00c5sberg A, etal.
Transplantation<\/em>. doi: 10.1097\/TP.0000000000001216<\/p>\n

This study evaluated whether histological categories (normal, inflammation, IFTA, or IFTA+i) on surveillance biopsies performed 6 weeks post renal transplant could predict the development of fibrosis and de novo donor specific anti-HLA antibodies (dnDSA) at 1 year. In a cohort of 598 transplant recipients, HLA-DR mismatch, the presence of inflammation or IFTA+i were identified as independent predictors of the latter. The authors concluded that early subclinical inflammation, with or without tubulointerstitial chronic lesions is associated with an increased risk of dnDSA development.<\/p>\n

WIT Initiative on Sex and Gender Issues in Transplantation<\/h2>\n

Did you know that both donor and recipient sex may have important independent impacts on graft outcomes? Did you know that gender may influence access to transplant, and may have important effects on the way potential donors are solicited? Enhanced understanding of these issues will improve access to transplantation as well as graft outcomes. A new TTS initiative aims to promote research and advocacy in this area, with the broad goal of improving transplant outcomes for all. Activities of the working group will include directing scoping reviews to catalogue existing research in this area, organizing symposia focusing on sex and gender issues in transplantation at conferences, and eventually organizing a consensus conference.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in joining the working group, please contact committees@tts.org<\/a>. Membership is open to both sexes and all genders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidney transplantation: New strategies for longer organ preservation<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 29 - New treatment strategies over the last few decades have meant that nowadays 95% of transplanted kidneys function well for at least one year and that the average lifespan of a transplanted organ is between 10 and 15 years. In 1989, one in five kidneys was no longer functional after one year.<\/p>\n
