Lessons Learned from Simultaneous Biopsies of Both Kidney and Pancreas Grafts in Recipients of Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas Transplants.
University of Wisconsin, Madison
It is commonly assumed that in simultaneous kidney and pancreas (SPK) recipients the rejection of the two organs will be concordant. As a result, simultaneous…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Organ Underutilization: 15-Year Analysis.
