Latest AI and machine learning research in kidney transplantation for healthcare professionals.
: Chronic kidney disease and as a consequence end-stage kidney disease (EKSD) is increasing globally. More and more people across the world are requiring hemodialysis (HD). The HD procedure produces a large quantity of biomedical waste. In addition, HD consumes a large quantity of water. In this study, we estimated the waste generated from our government-funded HD unit. : It is a prospective study...
BACKGROUND: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a serious complication of hemodialysis (HD) that is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, its accurate prediction remains a clinical challenge. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict IDH using pre-dialysis features.
The antibodies directed against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, which play a crucial role in allograft histocompatibility, are called anti-HL...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a state of chronic inflammation which is responsible for many of the pathophysiological changes detect...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated by hemodialysis (HD) is a worldwide major public health problem. Its incidence is getting higher and higher, lead...
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease. Surgical management occurs in severe forms and/or unresponsi...
Obesity is an important risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) may improve long-term kidney outcomes, but there is no agreemen...
Giant molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a peculiar variant of the disease with the presence of multiple or single lesions larger than 5 mm. In contrast to...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: complex as a ubiquitous environmental mold is increasingly reported to cause an invasive fungal infection in immunosuppressiv...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The success of organ transplant is determined by number of demographic, clinical, immunological and genetic variables. Artificial i...
