PURPOSE: Reducing operative injuries is important in living donor nephrectomy. The robot-assisted transperitoneal approach has some advantages than traditional laparoscopic techniques. However, longer operation time and risks of abdominal complicatio...
INTRODUCTION: Semi-quantitative scoring of various parameters in renal biopsy is accepted as an important tool to assess disease activity and prognostication. There are concerns on the impact of interobserver variability in its prognostic utility, ge...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have showed promising results in digital pathology, including digital nephropathology and specifically also kidney transplant pathology.

The kidney allograft has been under continuous attack from diverse injuries since the very beginning of organ procurement, leading to a gradual decline in function, chronic fibrosis, and allograft loss. It is vital to routinely and precisely monitor ...
BACKGROUND: Predicting long-term mortality postkidney transplantation (KT) using baseline clinical data presents significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the predictive power of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled analysis of preoperative...
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is being increasingly performed at selected referral institutions worldwide. Yet, surgical training in RAKT is still unstructured and not grounded into formal credentialing courses including simul...

Arterial stiffness is a non-traditional risk factor of cardiovascular disease and may explain part of the excess cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease patients. Successful renal transplantation (RT) may restore renal function and improve seve...
BACKGROUND: The first robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) was conducted in 2010, and the first time in Germany in 2016. As more than 5 years have passed, current evidence, technological developments and the latest (German) experience are pre...
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in clinical management, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains a serious complication and an important cause of morbidity and mortality following kidney transplantation. Here, we explore the importance of viral load kine...
