Impact of Renal Parenchymal Calcifications in a Cohort of Renal Transplanted Patients and Their Correlations with Long Term Graft Outcome
Background: Renal calcifications(RC) have been described in kidney transplantation(KTx), but the aetiologyand significance of this finding are still unclear. Our aim is to evaluate the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Peri-Operative Hemoglobin, Blood Transfusion and Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients
