Register for a paired kidney exchange program.If you have a potential donor who turns out not to be a match for you, a paired kidney exchange program—sometimes called a kidney swap—can match pairs of recipients and their incompatible donors so that you each receive compatible kidneys. ...
Thus, it is possible that the long-term clinical outcomes of KT from marginal donors can be a better match for elderly recipients than for young recipients who may require relatively more kidney mass9,10. However, this hypothesis has not been fully investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this...
1 Conventional PXM tests, such as CDCXM and FCXM, require mixing of patient serum and donor cells, are labor intensive, and remain logistically challenging. The VXM test uses the results of 2 independently done physical laboratory tests and does not involve mixing of serum and cells. Instead,...
We recommend performing annual blood and urine tests in all adults with TSC to monitor kidney function and urinary protein excretion (level B, strong). Recommendation 3: We suggest that, in children with TSC without kidney involvement on imaging, less frequent blood tests (or delayed until adulth...
Prescription opioid use before and after kidney transplant: Implications for posttransplant outcomes 2018, American Journal of Transplantation Citation Excerpt : In this larger cohort of recipients including five years of more recent data, we confirmed our previous findings that high-level prescription opi...
Time to first offer was similar for candidates who received deceased donor kidney allograft compared with those who died while waiting (median [interquartile range {IQR}] time, 79 [16-426] days vs 78 [17-401] days, respectively). Deceased donor allograft recipients had a median of 17 ...
The KDPI is a percentile measure that is based on the United Network of Organ Sharing’s (UNOS) data from The Scientific Registry of Trasplant Recipients (SRTR). It examines the risk of kidney failure for a given donor relative to the risk for an average kidney donor from the previous yea...

always be conducted prior to transplantation, with emphasis on inquiries regarding contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. To be eligible for transplantation, a negative PCR result must be provided, while viral antigen tests and serology are not considered as adequate alternatives [174]....
kidney biopsies (similar signatures as fixed tissue) for rapid identification of glomerular injury pattern particularly in urgent cases, to enable rapid therapeutic decisions without compromising the tissue sample which may be triaged appropriately for special diagnostic tests or molecular studies after MPM...
