[Evaluation of equations using cystatin C for estimation of the glomerular filtration rate in healthy adult population of canidates for kidney donors.].

Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina)
The determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for the selection of potential kidney donors. Methods of measurement of GFR are impractical and complex, which led to development of equations to estimate GFR. Objective: To evalua...

Robotic-assisted kidney transplantation: our first case.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. In order to reduce the morbidity of the open surgery, a robotic-assisted approach has been recently introduced. According to the published literatur...

Artificial intelligence assisted risk prediction in organ transplantation: a UK Live-Donor Kidney Transplant Outcome Prediction tool.

Renal failure
Predicting the outcome of a kidney transplant involving a living donor advances donor decision-making donors for clinicians and patients. However, the discriminative or calibration capacity of the currently employed models are limited. We set out to...

Personalized survival benefit estimation from living donor liver transplantation with a novel machine learning method for confounding adjustment.

Journal of hepatology
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Addressing many clinical questions, such as estimating survival differences between living donor (LDLT) and deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT), relies on observational studies, as randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) are of...

Live-Donor Kidney Transplant Outcome Prediction (L-TOP) using artificial intelligence.

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction for live-donor kidney transplantation improves clinical and patient decisions and donor selection. However, the currently used models are of limited discriminative or calibration power and there is a critical need to im...

Chylous Ascites After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: Is Early Surgical Intervention Necessary?

Experimental and clinical transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation
OBJECTIVES: Chylous ascites is a rare complication that may occur after living donor nephrectomy. The continuous loss of lymphatics, which carries a high risk of morbidity, may ensue in possible immunodeficiency and protein-calorie malnutrition. Here...

[The first 50 robot-assisted donor nephrectomies : Lessons learned].

Der Urologe. Ausg. A
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy (DN) is considered the gold standard, but the role of robot-assisted surgery is still controversial.

Comparison of semi-automatic and deep learning-based automatic methods for liver segmentation in living liver transplant donors.

Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey)
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy and repeatability of emerging machine learning based (i.e. deep) automatic segmentation algorithms with those of well-established semi-automatic (interactive) methods for determining liver volume in living liver trans...
