OPO Performance Metrics: Relationship with Kidney Transplant Program Performance Metrics and Kidney Utilization.
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, Minneapolis, MN
Organ procurement organization (OPO) performance metrics have been scrutinized due to the perceived disincentives of the regulatory system. In kidney transplantation, OPOs are evaluated on…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Study on Gene Expression of the Protective Effect of Nitric Oxide Releasing Nanofiber in Rat Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
1Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Korea; 2Kwanwoon University, Seoul, Korea
Objective: Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is very important issue in kidney transplantation. Nitric oxide (NO) was well known to be a protector of IRI. The…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pilot Study on Acupuncture in Living Liver and Kidney Donors.
Transplant Institute, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit
