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: Our study compares 2 immunosuppressive strategies to reduce tacrolimus nephrotoxicity and its risk of acute tubular necrosis: delayed introduction of tacrolimus plus thymoglobulin vs initial tacrolimus plus basiliximab on the results of...
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...
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.
