kidney transplant (procedure code 55.6 or diagnosis codes 996.81 or V42.0), or eGFR<15 ml/min/1.73 m2. All subjects were selected based on being free of known cardiovascular events at baseline. In addition to baseline kidney
In kidney transplantation, day-zero biopsies are used to assess organ quality and discriminate between donor-inherited lesions and those acquired post-transplantation. However, many centers do not perform such biopsies since they are invasive, costly and may delay the transplant procedure. We aim to...
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease and imposes a heavy global economic burden; however, little is known about its complicated pathophysiology. Investigating the cellular crosstalk involved in DKD is a promising aven
In the two intervention groups, a diagnosis-specific PRO questionnaire completed by the patient at home will substitute for usual outpatient follow-up visits. The PRO questionnaire will in part be used as a screening tool to identify patients in need of outpatient contact and to identify focus ar...
The miRNA target estimates in miRcode provided by “full transcriptome” are based on extensive GENCODE gene detailing. This tool also includes coding genes and these coding genes also contain unusual regions such as 5′UTR and CDS. The names and definitions in the MiRNA family are consistent ...
If successful, these implants would offer an alternative treatment for patients on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant, thereby untethering the supply of kidneys from the deaths of healthy organ donors. For both strategies, but particularly for tissue regeneration, the development of new ...
patients treated intensively were more likely to participate in the first year after diabetes diagnosis than 2–3 years after [15]. Offering interventions for patients newly diagnosed with diabetes could increase the inclusion rate. In a meta-analysis including 771 adherence studies, the effects of ...
However, these approaches have drawbacks: serum creatinine is not specific to injury type and is a marker of advanced kidney damage; while renal biopsy, representing the gold standard in transplant evaluation, is too invasive and cannot be performed frequently [3]. Accordingly, clinicians are ...

Kidney transplant In a kidney transplant, a healthy kidney from a donor is implanted into your body. If a kidney transplant is needed, we’ll refer you to transplant centers of excellence. We work closely with many fantastic transplant centers to ensure that our patients smoothly transition from...
