The incidence, risks, and outcomes associated with pulmonary hypertension (P-HTN) in the kidney transplant (KTx) population are not well described.We linked U.S. transplant registry data with Medicare claims (2006-2016) to...
BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant commonly used to prevent transplant rejection, can differ in specific subpopulations. This analysis examined treatment outcomes and safety of...
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a leading cause of kidney allograft failure, but its incidence, risk factors, and outcomes are not well understood.We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Scopus from January...
The proportion of living donor kidney transplants from donors unrelated to their recipients is increasing in the US.To examine the association between donor-recipient biological relationship and allograft survival after living...
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and allograft loss among kidney transplant recipients, and hypertension is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity of this patient population. The etiology of...
We investigated ten-year trends in deceased donor kidney quality expressed as the kidney donor risk index (KDRI) and subsequent effects on survival outcomes in a European transplant population.Time trends in the crude and...
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1R-Ab) are associated with graft rejection and poor graft outcomes in kidney transplantation (KT). We aimed to assess the frequency of preformed AT1R-Ab and their impact on graft...
The presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) against HLA-DQB1 is considered a significant barrier to good outcome and allograft survival in kidney transplantation (KT). This study aimed to assess the impact of induction...
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the optimal treatment for children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of PKT and of pretransplant dialysis duration on graft survival among...

Given the burden of posttransplant diabetes mellitus and the high prevalence of low vitamin D levels in kidney transplant recipients, it is reasonable to consider vitamin D as a novel and potentially modifiable risk factor in...
