| nephondemand | Long Term Outcomes in Renal Transplant Pts: non immunologic risk factors. Our special presentation today. Follow along #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Sponsored by Novartis. Dr Kenneth Brayman of UVA is the speaker. #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Dr Bragman very impressed w/#ECU and @Vidant_Health . Especially all the new construction at our medical center. #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Dr Brayman starts w/a recap of #transplantion in last 20 yrs. bottom line: better IS leads 2 ever increasing graft survival #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | We have gr8 IS drugs but still problems w/adherence. Is there a correlation between efficacy of drug and medication compliance? #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Graft survival remains the gold std to monitor efficacy of IS. Today, 1 yr graft survival is 92-7%. #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | No matter which decade you're looking at, graft survival decreases q10m. We're gr8 @ improving 1y survival, but not 4 any longer #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | There is a major gap between short- and long-term graft survival #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | The highest rate of med noncompliance among ALL #transplant pts is w/kidney tx pts (35.6 +- 2.3%). Transplantation 2007 p858 #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Dr Brayman can't explain y noncompliance is highest in kidney transplant pts than other transplant pts. #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Factors assoc w/nonadherence: male, nonwhite, DGF or rejection, HTN, receiving a living #transplant #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Dr Brayman believes kidney transplant pts do so well in 1st yr that they get sense of false security & becoming nonadherent 2 meds #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | AJT p2597: no surprise that pt survival increases if med adherence is in the 75th percentile #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Common cause of death post-transplant (w/functioning graft) is cardiovascular dz (30%); malignancy only 9.6%; USRDS 2010 report #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | Pre-transplant diabetes increases risk of post-transplant graft loss RR 5.787 p significant; Exp Clin Transplant p277; #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | 16% of post-transplant pts develop NODAT at 3 years because of calcineurin toxicity; #ecuimres | |
| nephondemand | No surprise that BMI affects graft loss; BMI >36 RR 1.385. Transplantation 2002 p70 #ecuimres |
