Evaluation of a Risk-Stratified Induction Immunosuppression Protocol Utilizing Low-Dose Antithymocyte Globulin in Renal Transplantation.
Lower doses of rabbit-derived antithymocyte globulin (rATG) may result in less infection and cost, but may increase the incidence of acute rejection. We compared the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Criteria for the Diagnosis of Microvascular Inflammation (MVI) in Kidney Transplant Biopsies (KTxBx).
The presence of MVI (Banff glomerulitis "g" score and Banff peritubular capillary "ptc" score) in KTxBx, often related to antibody mediated rejection (AMR), is associated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Influence of AKIN Stage on the Outcome of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation (DDKTx).
BackgroundTransplanting kidneys from donors with AKI is one of the methods to minimize the disparity between numbers of listed patient and donor pool. Our aim…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Candidate Mismatch in Age, Sex, HLA, and Body Size Inform a Calculator for Kidney Graft Survival.
