Clinical Impact and Cost-effectiveness of Everolimus Combination Therapy in Liver Transplant Recipients: Focus on the Risk of Cancer, Infection, and Renal Function.
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Post-liver transplant complications-cancer, infections, and renal dysfunction-impose substantial clinical and economic impact on recipients. This study evaluated clinical impacts and cost-effectiveness of adding everolimus (EVR) to a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based regimen in liver transplant recipients,...
Kidney biopsy analysis of 14 cases of renal disease after unrelated cord blood transplantation
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
To evaluate kidney biopsy findings to clarify renal disease in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Methods: We retrospectively examined 14 patients who underwent UCBT at Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, from 2015...
Urologic malignancy in renal transplant recipients: Analysis of OPTN/UNOS data from 2000 to 2022
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
The increasing incidence of urologic malignancy after renal transplantation (RT) has become a leading cause of recipient mortality. However, no recent analyses have been performed to identify the risk factors for post-transplant urologic malignancy (PTUM) and to evaluate the effect of PTUM on RT outcomes. Materials...
Delayed graft function and its impact on short- and long-term outcomes after kidney transplantation
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Kidney transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease, markedly improving survival and quality of life. However, delayed graft function (DGF) remains a notable early post-transplant complication. This study examine the impact of DGF on mortality, hypertension, graft survival, and...
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:...
