Histopathologic Scoring and Outcomes in Transplant Glomerulopathy (TG)
Introduction: TG is associated with poor allograft survival and there are limited treatment options. Some report improved outcomes with rituximab. Histopathologic scoring might predict prognosis…2013 American Transplant Congress
Increasing HLA DR Mismatches Is Associated with Inferior Kidney Allograft Outcome in Low Immune Risk Living Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
