When Living Donor Liver Allografts Fail: Exploring the Pitfalls of Retransplantation Using Deceased Donor Organs.
Background: In the US, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is associated with increased long-term graft and patient survival compared to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT).…2016 American Transplant Congress
Short UK Dialysis Does Not Significantly Impact on Live Donor Kidney Allograft Survival.
Background. The survival advantage of pre-emptive transplantation (Pre-empTx) in live donor kidney transplantation (LDKTx) was reported by Meier-Kreische (Kidney International, 2000). Dialysis practices differ internationally…2016 American Transplant Congress
Earlier Repletion of Lymphocytes After Alemtuzumab Induction Is Associated with a Lower Incidence of Infection Following Renal Transplantation.
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
