IFTA Is Linked to Urinary Microbiome Changes.
Department of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA.
Purpose: The microbiome is important to human health and alteration may lead to aberrant immunity and disease. Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy(IFTA) occurs in 20%…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Relationship Between Kidney Donor Profile Index and Six Month eGFR in Deceased Donor Recipients.
Division of Nephrology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.
Kidney function, as measured by GFR, at 6 months post-kidney transplant is a powerful predictor of long-term post-transplant outcomes. This study sought to understand the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Existing Chronic Heart Failure in Kidney Transplantation: An Underestimated Risk Factor for Graft Loss?
Nephrology, Charité University, Berlin, Germany.
