The UCLA Immunogenetics Center (UIC) provides comprehensive testing for organ and tissue transplantation. Transplant testing has a long history at UCLA. HLA typing was pioneered here in the 1960's. The development of the microcytoxicity test in 1964 marked the beginning of international testing and standardization of HLA typing. The UCLA Immunogenetics Center has retained its leadership position in HLA research, and in the development of accompanying diagnostic testing. MORE

Kidney transplantation originating from the hepatic artery has not previously been reported. Herein, we report a third kidney transplantation with the common hepatic artery as inflow. A 62-year-old male with chronic renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease was proposed to a third kidney transplantation. CT-scan showed diffuse calcification of the aorto-iliac axis and the splenic artery.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of measures from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) for patients with heart failure before and after heart transplantation.

Tissue Antigens
One of the major tasks of histocompatibility and immunogenetics laboratories is the pretransplant determination of unacceptable antigen mismatches (UAM) in kidney transplant recipients. In this procedure, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) specificities are defined against which the patient has circulating alloantibodies that are expected to harm the transplanted organ. Using the information on UAM and the potential donor's complete HLA typing, prediction of the crossmatch result, the so called 'virtual crossmatch', is possible.

Transplantation
Demographic changes are associated with a steady increase of older patients with end-stage organ failure in need for transplantation. As a result, the majority of transplant recipients are currently older than 50 years, and organs from elderly donors are more frequently used. Nevertheless, the benefit of transplantation in older patients is well recognized, whereas the most frequent causes of death among older recipients are potentially linked to side effects of their immunosuppressants.

Cystinosis is a rare lysosomal disorder leading to end stage renal disease in more than 90 percent of patients before 20 years of age. Data about safety and efficiency of renal transplantation in patients with cystinosis is scarce. We evaluated long-term outcomes of renal transplantation in adult patients with cystinosis.
