Background With the increased demand for kidney transplants and the short supply of organs, it is necessary to have a better strategy to evaluate the available organs, especially from donors with acute kidney injury (AKI), ...

Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is extremely high among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), particularly in the first months after transplantation. Few data are available comparing the cardiovascular ...

Aim: It is important to find biomarkers that identify the graft quality in kidney transplantation. Results & methodology: The level of SLPI in the cold preservation solution was used as a marker to predict early kidney ...

Background: The influence of different crystalloid solutions infused during deceased-donor kidney transplant on the incidence of delayed graft function remains unclear. We investigated the influence of Plasma-Lyte® vs. ...

Background: This study evaluated the risk factors for delayed graft function (DGF) in a country where its incidence is high, detailing donor maintenance-related (DMR) variables and using machine learning (ML) methods beyond ...

We investigated the effects of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on early outcomes of deceased donor renal transplantation. Between April 2005 and June 2008, adult primary graft recipients of deceased renal donors ...

Backgrounds: An ongoing shortage of organs for liver transplantation has led surgeons to continually modify criteria for organ acceptance, which are now defined as extended criteria. The organ shortage becomes more problematic ...

Introduction Pediatric liver transplantation is limited by donation. In the last 5 years, urgent conditions have forced transplant teams to accept donors with minor suboptimal conditions, termed "extended donor criteria." ...
