Comparison of QuantiFERON-TB Gold with Tuberculin Skin Test for Detecting Latent Tuberculosis Infection before Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: Screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) before kidney transplantation (KT) is indispensable process in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The purposes of this study were…2013 American Transplant Congress
Differences between Live and Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplantation in a Centre Performing Protocol Biopsies
Department of Nephrology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
Background: Live kidney transplantation (LK-tx) results in a longer transplant survival and better renal function than non-living transplantation (Non-LK-tx).Methods: We tested the reasons for that…2013 American Transplant Congress
