Study Notes

Kidney Transplant Abbreviations

DDKT: Refers to a kidney transplant from a deceased donor.
LDKT: Indicates a kidney transplant using a kidney from a living donor.
LUDKT: Involves kidney transplantation from a living donor who is not related to the recipient.
LRDKT: Pertains to transplant from a living donor related to the recipient, such as family members.
SKP: Simultaneous transplantation of both the kidney and pancreas.
HLA: Stands for human leukocyte antigen, important for tissue compatibility in transplants.
DSA: Stands for digital subtraction angiography, a radiologic technique used to visualize blood vessels.
cPRA: Calculated panel reactive antibody, a measure of preformed antibodies in a patient’s blood that can affect transplant compatibility.
KDPI: Kidney donor profile index, assesses the quality of a donor kidney based on various factors.
CIT: Cold ischemic time, the duration a kidney is preserved at low temperatures before transplant, impacting outcomes.
FK: Oral tacrolimus, a medication used to prevent organ rejection following transplantation.
CyA or CsA: Cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive drug commonly used in transplant patients.
MMF: Mycophenolate mofetil, another immunosuppressive agent that helps prevent graft rejection.
MPA: Mycophenolic acid, an active form of mycophenolate mofetil used in transplant regimens.
OPTN: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, the organization overseeing organ allocation and transplants in the U.S.
UNOS: United Network for Organ Sharing, the nonprofit organization managing the OPTN.
SRTR: Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, a database for transplant outcomes and related research.
DCD: Donor after cardiac death, referring to donors whose hearts have stopped beating prior to organ recovery.
DBD: Donor after brain death, referring to donors who have been declared brain dead but with sustained cardiac function.
DGF: Delayed graft function, a condition where the transplanted kidney does not work immediately.
ATN: Acute tubular necrosis, a form of kidney injury that can occur post-transplant.
PCKD: Polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of cysts in the kidneys.
PTLD: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, a type of lymphoproliferative disorder that can occur after transplantation.
PTDM: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus, diabetes that can develop in some individuals after receiving a transplant.
FSGS: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a condition that can lead to kidney failure.
BPAR: Biopsy proven acute rejection, confirmation of organ rejection through biopsy analysis.
AMR: Antibody mediated rejection, a type of organ rejection that involves immune antibodies targeting the transplanted organ.
