Hispanic patients receive disproportionately fewer kidney transplants (KT) than non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients. In this observational study, we evaluated disparities in completing evaluation steps to KT among Hispanic patients.#Using medical records of Hispanic and NHW patients initiating evaluation at...
renal services.Design: A qualitative design was utilised within an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) framework.Main outcome measures: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six adults (male=5, mean age=45yrs) on their experiences of receiving a kidney transplant from a deceased ...
Potential renal donors where the GFR increases (thus showing good renal reserve), subsequently donate a kidney.We do not know the outcome of recipients receiving kidneys in which the GFR "normalized" following a protein load. To the best of our knowledge, the outcome of such recipients is ...

In the present study, viral infections were the most common ID events in kidney transplant recipients with HIV. In the subset of ID events requiring hospitalisation, bacterial infections predominated. This finding is in line with prior studies reporting a large proportion of bacterial infections among...
Conclusions.Fewer depressive symptoms and better HR-QoL are associated with being on the waiting list in prevalent HD patients but not with receiving a kidney transplant among wait-listed dialysis patients. Regular assessment of subjective well-being may help identify patients with reduced access to ...
