Prediction of delayed graft function after renal transplantation

Dialysis modality and delayed graft function after cadaveric renal transplantation.

The purpose of this investigation was to compare outcomes in the immediate posttransplant period for hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal (PD) dialysis patients who received cadaveric renal transplantation. Data were obtained from the United Network of Organ Sharing on all cadaveric graft recipients who were dialysis-dependent at the time of transplantation between April 1994 and December 1995. Bas...

Impact of delayed graft function on renal function and graft survival in deceased kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVES To define the risk factors for delayed graft function and study the impact of such delays on renal function and long-term allograft survival in renal transplant recipients. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective study. SETTING Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Records of 118 Chinese renal transplant recipients from 1 July 1997 to 31 July 2005 were reviewed, and categorised int...

Prediction of delayed graft function after kidney transplantation: comparison between logistic regression and machine learning methods

BACKGROUND Predictive models for delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation are usually developed using logistic regression. We want to evaluate the value of machine learning methods in the prediction of DGF. METHODS 497 kidney transplantations from deceased donors at the Ghent University Hospital between 2005 and 2011 are included. A feature elimination procedure is applied to...

Perioperative blood pressure control, delayed graft function, and acute rejection after renal transplantation.

BACKGROUND Blood pressure (BP) control immediately after renal transplantation is poorly understood, with patients experiencing both high and low BP levels. Donor kidneys lack the ability to autoregulate their blood flow, meaning high pressures are directly translated to the graft endothelium, whereas reduced perfusion may augment ischemic injury. We hypothesize that early BP control may theref...
