Health inequity refers to the existence of unnecessary and unfair differences in the ability of an individual or community to achieve optimal health and access appropriate care. Kidney diseases, inclu...
The number of simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplants has significantly increased in the United States. There has also been an increase in kidney-after-liver transplants associated with 2017 polic...
We compared kidney graft outcomes of kidney-alone transplant recipients with SLK and kidney-after-liver transplants using paired kidney models to mitigate differences among donor risk factors. We eval...
We evaluated 3053 paired donors to kidney-alone and SLK recipients and 516 paired donors to kidney-alone and kidney-after-liver recipients from August 2017 to August 2022. Kidney-alone recipients were...
Over a 5-year period in the United States, SLK transplantation was associated with significantly lower kidney graft survival compared with paired kidney-alone transplants. Most differences in graft su...
Conservative kidney management (CKM) has been increasingly accepted as a therapeutic option for seriously ill patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. CKM is active medical management of advance...
Significant loss of kidney function is not easily identified by serum creatinine (sCr)-based measurements. In the presence of normal sCr, decreased kidney functional reserve (KFR) may identify a signi...
Modelling ultrasound speckle to characterise tissue properties has generated considerable interest. As speckle is dependent on the underlying tissue architecture, modelling it may aid in tasks such as...
B-mode images from n = 821 kidney transplant recipients (one image per recipient) were automatically segmented into the cortex, medulla and central echogenic complex using a neural network. Seven dist...
The Rayleigh and Nakagami distributions had model parameters that differed significantly between the three regions (p ≤ 0.05). Although both had excellent goodness of fit, the Nakagami had higher Kull...
We propose the Nakagami distribution be used to characterize transplanted kidneys regionally independent of disease etiology and most patient characteristics....
Effects of kidney injury (KI) at the time of liver transplantation (LT) for acute liver failure (ALF) remain poorly described. We hypothesized that patients with ALF and KI who undergo LT have persist...
The US Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database was queried for patients transplanted with status 1 listing for LT between 2002 and 2021. KI was defined as estimated glomerular filtration...
A total of 2984 patients underwent LT for ALF with 1241 (41.6%) having KI. KI patients had lower eGFR at 6 months post-LT (57.8 vs. 68.7, p < .001) that persisted out to 5 years (59.9 vs. 69.7, p < .0...
KI in the setting of ALF portends a worse prognosis for both kidney recovery and OS....
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in deceased organ donors and is associated with high rates of kidney discard by transplant centers. High discard rates may consequently drive nonprocurement of thes...
Using U.S. registry data, we identified donors with at least one organ recovered from 2008 to 2018. We compared characteristics of donors with no kidneys procured across AKI stages, and used multivari...
Overall 14 543 kidneys from 7620 donors were not procured, among which 93% were from donors with AKI. For 6945 donors with no kidneys procured but an extrarenal organ recovered, most had stage 3 (51%)...
AKI severity is a strong risk factor for kidney nonprocurement. Efforts to address the organ shortage should focus on encouraging procurement and utilization of kidneys from deceased donors with sever...
The nonuse rate for kidneys recovered from deceased donors is increasing, rising to 27% in 2023. In 10% of these cases, 1 kidney is transplanted but the mate kidney is not....
We conducted a retrospective, single-center cohort study from December 2001 to May 2023 comparing single kidneys transplanted at our center (where the contralateral kidney was not used) to kidneys whe...
We performed 395 single deceased-donor kidney transplants in which the mate kidney was not transplanted. Primary reasons for mate kidney nonuse were as follows: no recipient located or list exhausted ...
These findings suggest that many mate kidneys are being inappropriately rejected, given the acceptable outcomes that can be achieved by transplanting the single kidney in appropriately selected recipi...
Exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) is a complex malformation of the lower abdominal wall, bladder, and pelvic floor, which necessitates multiple successive reconstruction procedures. Surgical and infe...
This cross-sectional study included patients with EEC, followed since birth in a pediatric urology clinic, who underwent nephrological evaluation (blood pressure (BP) measurement and blood and urine c...
Forty-three patients (29 males), median age 9 years (interquartile range 6-19), were included. Eleven (26%) used clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) for bladder drainage. At least one sign of kid...
The high rate of signs of kidney injury in pediatric patients with EEC dictates early-onset long-term kidney function monitoring by joint pediatric urological and nephrological teams. A higher resolut...
This review summarizes current knowledge on several novel and emerging renal entities, including eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), RCC with fibromyomatous stroma, anaplastic ly...
