Black Ethnicity as a Risk Factor for Poor Kidney Allograft Outcomes Post-Transplantation.
Introduction: Registry studies, largely from the United States, have consistently demonstrated inferior outcomes for black patients undergoing renal transplant. A recent Canadian publication has challenged…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Cardiovascular Risk Factors Affect Kidney Allograft Survival: A Multi-Center Study in Korea.
Background - Pre- or post-transplant cardiovascular (CV) risk factors affect the development of CV events even after successful kidney transplantation (KT). However, the impact of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes After Splenectomy for Small-for-Size Syndrome in Live Donor Liver Transplantation.
