(1) present simulation data showing that the new kidney allocation system (KAS) increases the offer rate for highly sensitizedkidney transplant candidates. This is counter to the previously held belief that the only possibility of transplanting a highly sensitized patient iswith anHLA-identical kidney. T...
متن کاملAllocating Deceased Donor Kidneys to Candidates with High Panel-Reactive Antibodies.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In December of 2014, the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network implemented a new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) for deceased donor transplant, with increased priority for highly sensitized candidates (calculated panel-reactive antibody [cPRA] >99%).

متن کاملLong-term outcome of highly sensitized African American patients transplanted with deceased donor kidneys.
Undertaking transplantation in highly sensitized African American (AA) patients as transplant recipients represents a unique challenge. We retrospectively compared the outcomes of AA with non-African American (NAA) patients who had panel reactive antibody >80% and received deceased donor (DD) kidneys by virtual crossmatch. Immunosuppressive regimen included basiliximab induction and tacrolimus,...

PURPOSE Marginal grafts should be used more actively in Asian countries where deceased donor transplantation is unpopular. We modified a quantitative donor scoring system proposed by Nyberg and his colleagues and developed a donor scoring system in order to assess the quality of deceased donor grafts and their prognostic value as an initial effort to promote usage of marginal donors. MATERIAL...
