RA BTS Annual Conference ACC, Liverpool 21 – 24 April 2009 ABSTRACT BOOK Welcome to Liverpool! As Presidents of the Renal Association and the British Transplantation Society respectively, we are delighted to welcome you to Liverpool to the joint RA BTS Annual Conference 2009. We hope that the meeting will be both an educational and enjoyable four days in the company of your colleagues from the UK and our visitors from overseas. Following our successful joint meeting in 2005, the two societies have once again joined forces to provide an exciting scientific programme for our respective communities. The first day (Tuesday) is a Renal Association stand-alone day and the final day (Friday) a British Transplantation Society stand-alone day. Members of the respective societies are of course welcome (indeed encouraged) to attend either or both of these stand-alone days. The Wednesday and Thursday offer both joint and parallel sessions. We are very grateful to the members of the Programme Committee for their tireless work in putting together what promises to be a stimulating and diverse programme and to the local organisers for all their inputs. We also thank our corporate partners and other industry stakeholders whose support makes our meeting possible. Please take time during the meeting to visit the trade exhibition and talk to the company representatives about their products. Yours sincerely, Peter Mathieson Peter Friend President of the Renal Association President of the British Transplantation Society RA BTS Conference – Scientific Programme Tuesday 21April – RA Standalone day Clinical Pathway Scientific Pathway Miscellaneous BTS Pathway 00 Registration and Exhibition Open Arrival tea and coffee available in the exhibition hall 00 Raine Award (Hall 1A) Chair: Prof Peter Mathieson The Pathogenesis of Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome – Dr David Kavanagh 4 x best abstracts 30 Moderated Poster Session (Hall 2 Exhibition Hall) 30 Commercialisation & The Biotechnology Industry (Hall 1C) Chair: Prof Bruce Hendry & Dr Julie Williams Lunch & Exhibition Lunch & Exhibition Prof Chris Gregory Dr Alan Boyd Prof Nick Barnes **Packed lunch will be provided in the meeting room. 30 Chandos Lecture (Hall 1A) Free Radical Session (Hall 1B) IgA Nephropathy and CKD Chair: Dr Steve Harper & Dr Simon Satchell Chair: Dr Jeremy Hughes & Dr John Haylor Chair: Dr Alice Smith & Dr Neeraj Dhaun Prof Dontscho Kerjaschki Prof Malcolm Jackson Dr Ian Roberts 1 9: :0 1. 2: 3: 0 1 1 1 1 n n e e p p O O n n o o biti biti hi hi x x E E & & n n o o ati ati gistr gistr e e R R 5 x abstracts Dr Joles Jones 6 x abstracts Dr Rana Rustom 5 minute room change break CPD – Bone and Mineral Disorders Renal Science CPD (Hall 1B) Proteinuric and Glomerular Disease Sponsored by the DGH Nephrologists’ (Hall 1C) Chair: Dr Fred Tam & Dr John Haylor Society (Hall IA) Chair: Dr Gordon Bell & Dr David Prof Philip Wright Chair: Dr Paul Rylance & Dr Phil Kalra Kluth Dr Robert Edwards Dr Markus Ketteler Prof Nigel Brunskill Prof Visith Thongboonkered Dr Smeeta Sinha 6 x abstracts Dr David Goldsmith Dr Daniel Zehnder Coffee Break Dialysis (Hall 1A) Young Renal Science Forum (Hall 1B) Renal Registry/Clinical Trial (Hall 1C) Chair: Dr Chris McIntyre & Dr Pearl Pai Chair: Dr Tim Johnson Chair: Dr Lorraine Harper & Prof Prof Simon Davis Prof Bernhard Moser Terry Feest 6 x abstracts Co-Judge – Prof Alison Eddy Dr Charlie Tomson 6 x abstracts Prof Colin Baigent Osman Lecture – Chair: Prof Peter Mathieson (Hall 1A) Prof Andy Rees Exhibition Close Coach Transfer to the Crowne Plaza – RA Conference Dinner 2 0 5 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 3 0 3 0 4 5: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 9: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 k 2) Mar nsplantation Pathway 2 BTS/BASL Symposium (Hall 1 Chair: Prof Derek Manas & Dr Houston Dr Nick Torpey Dr Kosh Agarwal Mr Murat Akyol Mr Raj Prasad Mr Neville Jamieson a Tr n h Hall 3) Prof Jo g ( & alin es he gh Clinical Pathway Science Pathway Registration & Exhibition open RA AGM (Hall 11) De Wardener Lecture (Hall 1) Chair Dr Kevin Harris Prof Tim Goodship Paediatric Adult Interface (Hall 11) Mechanisms of tissue Chair: Dr Nick Webb & Dr Brian Judd Chair: Dr Jeremy HuKirby Dr Janet McDonagh Prof John Kirby 6 x abstracts Prof John Iredale Prof Paul Martin Endothelium in Transplantation and Vascular Disease (Hall 1) Chair: Mr John Forsythe Dr Anthony Dorling Lunch & Exhibition (Hall 2 – Exhibition Hall) Moderated Posters (Hall 2 – Exhibition Hall) 3 e h by 1) Paul n of t Wednesday 22 April – Joint Day Transplantation Pathway 1 Breakfast Symposium sponsored Astellas & Novartis (Hall 1) Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (Hall Chair: Dr Chris Dudley & Prof Brenchley Prof Michael Mengel 6x abstracts Manipulatio 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 3 0 0 8: 8: 9: 0: 1: 2: 3: 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 12) David udson 12) BTS/BASL Symposium (Hall hair: Dr John O’Grady & Mr Mayer Dr Richard Baker Dr Alex Gimson ase Presentation: Dr Mark H Dr Chas Newstaed Mr Steve White Dr John O’Grady Prof Derek Manas Dr Graham Alexander BTS/BASL Symposium (Hall C C Vascular Access Symposium (Hall 11) Transplant Immunology/Basic Science (Hall 3) Chair: Dr Mick Kumwenda & Mr Gavin Pettigrew Chair: Ms Lorna Marson & Prof Steven Sacks Dr Justin Mason Dr Christian Hugo Mr Ali Bakran Mr David Mitchell Prof Dontscho Kerjaschki Dr Andrew Frankel 3 x abstracts 5 minute room change Recurrent Disease (Hall 11) Transplant Immunology/Basic Science (Hall 3) Chair: Dr Ian Roberts & Prof Neil Turner Chair -
