KT-LLM: an evidence-grounded and sequence text framework for auditable kidney transplant modeling
Kidney Transplantation 12 min.
In real-world management and research of kidney transplantation(KT), critical evidence has long evolved along two parallel tracks: structured longitudinal follow-up and text-defined rules. On the one hand, OPTN and SRTR collect Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) at 6 months post transplant, at 1 year,...
Regulatory T cells in kidney transplantation: mechanisms, therapeutic advances, and future directions
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a pivotal role as key modulators of immune tolerance in kidney transplantation, a critical therapeutic approach for end-stage renal disease. Despite advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive regimens, kidney transplantation continues to face significant challenges,...
Peri-kidney transplant management in autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia type 1
Kidney Transplantation 2 min.
Autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia (ADH) is a rare abnormality of calcium homeostasis. It is usually associated with gain-of-function mutations in the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR, ADH1) or its associated G-protein (GNA11, autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia type 2 [ADH2]). The CaSR is expressed in several...
Prevalence of prostatitis-like symptoms and associated risk factors in kidney transplant recipients
Kidney Transplantation 5 min.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is one of the most common urogenital disorders [1, 2] and is characterized by a complex array of clinical manifestations, including lower urinary tract symptoms, chronic perineal and pelvic pain, and even sexual dysfunction [3]. These factors...
Association of left atrial volume and function parameters with cardiovascular outcomes following kidney transplantation
Kidney Transplantation 3 min.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among kidney transplant (KT) recipients [1, 2]. Although the number of KTs performed annually has continued to rise, surpassing 27,000 in 2024 and totaling over 600,000 since 1988 [3], approximately 90,000 individuals remain...
