Serum metabolites in relation to kidney function in non-transplant and kidney transplant settings using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Metabolic disorders are highly prevalent in patients with native and transplanted chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, little is known about the metabolic similarities and differences associated with declining kidney function between non-transplant patients and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Methods:...
Donor Bladder Inclusion in Kidney Transplantation: A Review of the Literature and our Clinical Experience
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
This review examines bladder inclusion as a reconstructive option in kidney transplantation, particularly when incorporated as part of a pediatric en bloc kidney transplant. With careful patient selection, partial or complete bladder transplant can be performed safely. The technique is relatively straightforward...
Health-related quality of life in Chinese kidney transplant recipients assessed by Chinese medicine quality of life-11 dimensions (CQ-11D)
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is a key concern influenced by physiological, social, and cultural factors. However, yet commonly used assessment tools in previous studies do not adequately capture the unique sociocultural context of Chinese populations....
Kidney disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplant-treatment standard
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a well-established procedure for malignant and nonmalignant conditions. Despite its therapeutic benefits, kidney disease remains a common complication that significantly affects patient outcomes. Kidney injury post-HSCT manifests as acute kidney injury and...
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,...
