The TreaT-Assay: A Novel Urine-Derived Donor Kidney Cell-Based Assay for Prediction of Kidney Transplantation Outcome

impact of donor source on the outcome of live donor kidney transplantation: a single center experience

patients and methods from march 1976 to december 2013, the number of patients that underwent living renal transplantation sharing at least one hla haplotype with their donors was 2,485. we divided these patients into two groups: (1) 2,075 kidney transplant recipients (1,554 or 74.9% male and 521 or 25.1% female) for whom the donors were living related, (2) 410 kidney transplant recipients (297 ...

Impact of Donor Source on the Outcome of Live Donor Kidney Transplantation: A Single Center Experience

BACKGROUND Renal transplantation is the ideal method for management of end-stage renal disease. The use of living donors for renal transplantation was critical for early development in the field and preceded the use of cadaveric donors. Most donors are related genetically to the recipients, like a parent, a child, or a sibling of the recipient, but there are an increasing percentage of cases wh...

Outcome in emotionally related living kidney donor transplantation.

BACKGROUND The growing shortage of cadaver kidneys, the limited possibilities to expand the living related donor pool and the good results obtained in our centre with poorly matched cadaver kidneys, led us in 1991 to begin accepting highly motivated, unrelated, living kidney donors who had a strong emotional bond with the recipients. METHODS Between 1 January 1991 and 1 January 1996, 46 poten...

Preexisting donor-specific HLA antibodies predict outcome in kidney transplantation.

The clinical importance of preexisting HLA antibodies at the time of transplantation, identified by contemporary techniques, is not well understood. We conducted an observational study analyzing the association between preexisting donor-specific HLA antibodies (HLA-DSA) and incidence of acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and survival of patients and grafts among 402 consecutive deceased-do...
