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:...
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....
