Effects of switching from twice-daily tacrolimus to once-daily extended-release meltdose tacrolimus on cellular immune response Open
Background LCP-Tacro [LCPT], a novel once-daily, extended-release formulation of tacrolimus, has a reduced C max with comparable AUC exposure, requiring a ∼30% dose reduction in contrast to immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-Tac). Once-daily…

Propionic acid supplementation promotes the expansion of regulatory T cells in patients with end-stage renal disease but not in renal transplant patients Open
In a previous study, we showed an anti-inflammatory effect of propionic acid supplementation in dialysis patients. The present study intends to analyze the effect of propionic acid on the chronic inflammatory state and T-cell composition i…

Interactions of TTV with BKV, CMV, EBV, and HHV-6A and their impact on post-transplant graft function in kidney transplant recipients Open
Background Mono and combined reactivation of latent viruses occurs frequently under immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplant patients. Recently, monitoring torque teno virus (TTV) reactivation came more into focus as a potential biom…

High incidence and viral load of HHV-6A in a multi-centre kidney transplant cohort Open
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a common opportunistic pathogen in kidney transplant recipients. Two distinct species of HHV-6, HHV-6A and HHV-6B, have been identified, of which the latter seems to be dominant. However, it is unclear whethe…

The Role of Innate Immune Cells in the Prediction of Early Renal Allograft Injury Following Kidney Transplantation Open
Background: Despite recent advances and refinements in perioperative management of kidney transplantation (KT), early renal graft injury (eRGI) remains a critical problem with serious impairment of graft function as well as short- and long…

Effect of Nephrectomy After Allograft Failure on Inflammation, Erythropoiesis, Donor-Specific Antibodies, and Outcome of Re-Transplantation Open
BACKGROUND Morbidity and mortality rates are high for patients returning to dialysis after renal graft failure. Keeping failed kidney transplants in situ with concomitant minimization or withdrawal of immunosuppression is standard of care …

Minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) versus conventional parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism: a retrospective multicenter study Open
To compare minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) versus conventional surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT). Between 2006 and 2020, 53 patients underwent MIVAP and 182 underwent conventional parathyroidectomy fo…

MO149: Effect of Plasma Exchange on COVID-19 Associated Excess of Von Willebrand Factor and Inflammation in Critically Ill Patients Open
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ubiquitous microthromboses in the pulmonary vasculature play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Excess of von Willebrand factor (vWf) with intravascular…

Predictors of impaired SARS-CoV-2 immunity in healthcare workers after vaccination with BNT162b2 Open
Healthcare workers are at substantially increased risk for infection with SARS-CoV-2. Successful vaccination constitutes a crucial prerequisite to protect this group during the pandemic. Since post vaccination antibody monitoring is not st…

Impact of weather changes on hospital admissions for hypertension Open
Blood pressure (BP) shows a seasonal variation with higher levels at lower temperatures. Many hypertensives, however, report on BP disturbances rather in association with acutely changing weather conditions than with absolute temperatures.…

Low‐density lipoprotein apheresis is associated with removal of <span>SARS‐CoV</span>‐2 antibodies Open
Background Low‐density lipoprotein apheresis is not specific to lipoproteins but removes immunoglobulins as well. It remains elusive, whether protective SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies after vaccination from COVID‐19 are eliminated as well. Methods …
