Background: BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is an important risk factor that results in an allograft loss in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The short-term prognosis of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Death-Censored Graft Failure (DCGF) Post Kidney Transplant (KTx) is Usually the Result of Rapid Loss of Function after Periods of Stability
Late graft dysfunction leading to clinically indicated transplant biopsy (KTxBx) is a better predictor of subsequent DCGF than baseline data and early post-transplant events (Gaston…2018 American Transplant Congress
