This paper introduces a deep-learning based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for the early detection of acute renal transplant rejection. For noninvasive detection of kidney rejection at an early stage, the proposed CAD system is based on the f...
We used an ensemble of statistical methods to build a model that predicts kidney transplant survival and identifies important predictive variables. The proposed model achieved better performance, measured by Harrell's concordance index, than the Esti...
BACKGROUND: BK virus allograft nephropathy is a major complication of kidney transplantation that markedly reduces graft survival (50% graft failure 24 months after being diagnosed). BK virus replication can occur at any time posttransplantation. Vir...
INTRODUCTION: Currently, the shortage of organs available for kidney transplantation and a change in donors' and recipients' profiles (elderly, with cardiovascular risk, donors after cardiac death), it is becoming necessary to assess grafts from expa...
INTRODUCTION: The prediction of post transplantation outcomes is clinically important and involves several problems. The current prediction models based on standard statistics are very complex, difficult to validate and do not provide accurate predic...
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...
UNLABELLED: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) decreases delayed graft function (DGF) and improves 1-year graft survival in expanded criteria donors (ECDs). Time of HMP could be associated with incidence of DGF.

BACKGROUND: Predicting the function of transplanted kidneys would help clinicians in individualized medical interventions. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive tool for a future value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at upcomin...
Accurate prediction of graft survival after kidney transplant is limited by the complexity and heterogeneity of risk factors influencing allograft survival. In this study, we applied machine learning methods, in combination with survival statistics, ...
