The requirements for informed consent were waived by the Institutional Review Boards of four centers because the study was explained to all patients prior to transplantation, personal data related to the patient’s clinical course after transplant was used, and information identifying the individual was...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of these protocols, including pediatric priority, on waiting time on dialysis, transplant type, donor age, and HLA matching according to state of transplant in Australia. De-identified information on patients关键词:...
To ascertain the validity of kidney paired donations (KPDs) as an alternative strategy for increasing living donor kidney transplantations (LDKTs) in an LDKT-dominated transplant programme since directed kidney transplantation, ABO-incompatible or crossmatch-positive pairs are not feasible due to costs...
COVID-19 is associated with malnutrition; however, whether patients with COVID-19 AKI have specific nutritional requirements is unclear (not graded). Rationale Several drugs or their metabolites that have been proposed for use in patients with COVID-19 are excreted and/or metabolized via the kid...
We investigated whether the deceased donor score (DDS) system could identify DCD kidneys with higher risk of early post-transplant dysfunction. The DDS was validated in a cohort of 168 kidney transplants from donors after brain death (DBD) and then applied to a cohort of 56 kidney transplants...
