Lack of Improvement in Renal Allograft Survival Despite a Marked Decrease in Acute Rejection Rates Over the Most Recent Era
TL;DR: This work analyzed data provided by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients regarding all adult first renal transplants between 1995 and 2000 to investigate how acute rejection rates have evolved on a national level in the U.S and how this has impacted graft survival in the most recent era of kidney transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival in Recipients of Marginal Cadaveric Donor Kidneys Compared with Other Recipients and Wait-Listed Transplant Candidates
Akinlolu O. Ojo,Julie A. Hanson,Herwig Ulf Meier-Kriesche,Chike Nathan Okechukwu,Robert A. Wolfe,Alan B. Leichtman,Lawrence Y. Agodoa,Bruce Kaplan,Friedrich K. Port +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that transplantation of a marginal kidney is associated with a significant survival benefit when compared with maintenance dialysis and the average increase in life expectancy for MDK recipients compared with the WLD cohort was 5 yr, although this benefit varied from 3 to 10 yr depending on the recipient's characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waiting time on dialysis as the strongest modifiable risk factor for renal transplant: Outcomes a paired donor kidney analysis
TL;DR: End-stage renal disease time is arguably the strongest independent modifiable risk factor for renal transplant outcomes and a cadaveric renal transplant recipient with an ESRD time less than 6 months has the equivalent graft survival of living donor transplant recipients who wait on dialysis for more than 2 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody-mediated microcirculation injury is the major cause of late kidney transplant failure.
Gunilla Einecke,Banu Sis,Jeff Reeve,Michael Mengel,Patricia Campbell,Luis G. Hidalgo,Bruce Kaplan,Philip F. Halloran +7 more
TL;DR: The major cause of late kidney transplant failure is antibody‐mediated microcirculation injury, but detection of this phenotype requires new diagnostic criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of waiting time on renal transplant outcome
Herwig Ulf Meier-Kriesche,Friedrich K. Port,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Steven M. Rudich,Julie A. Hanson,Diane M. Cibrik,Alan B. Leichtman,Bruce Kaplan +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that patients who reach end-stage renal disease should receive a renal transplant as early as possible in order to enhance their chances of long-term survival is supported.
