Retrospective Analysis of Multiple Hemodialysis Access Modalities.
1Tampa General Hospital, Tampa, FL; 2University of South Florida, Tampa, FL
The use of native arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) for hemodialysis (HD) is the gold standard, however, for many patients, this is not an option. We hypothesize…2017 American Transplant Congress
Full Dose Cyclosporine Permanently Reverses Uncontrolled BK Viremia That Is Refractory to Tacrolimus Minimization.
Medicine, UCSD School of Medicine, San Diego, CA
