Background Data Outcome after living donor transplants is better than after cadaver donor
transplants. Since the inception of the authors’ program, they have performed 2,540 living …

Objective The authors determined whether the use of kidney allografts with multiple renal
arteries adversely affects post-transplant graft and patient outcome or increases the incidence …

Chronic rejection is a major barrier to long-term renal allograft survival. Cyclosporine, though
effective at reducing graft loss to acute rejection, has had little impact on the incidence of …

An acute renal transplant rejection episode has been shown to be associated with decreased
1-year graft survival. The impact on long-term outcome is undefined. We studied the …

We studied the effect of acute renal allograft rejection and its timing on the development of
chronic rejection and subsequent graft loss. Between January 1, 1987 and April 30, 1991, 424 …

Background. The most common surgical complication after a kidney transplant is likely
related to the wound. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the incidence of, and risk …

Heme protein-induced chronic renal inflammation: Suppressive effect of induced heme
oxygenase-1. Background Heme oxygenase (HO) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation …

Humar A, Ramcharan T, Kandaswamy R, Gillingham K, Payne WD, Matas AJ. Risk factors for
slow graft function after kidney transplants: a multivariate analysis. Clin Transplant 2002: 16…

The ultimate goal of clinical transplantation is for the recipients to achieve long‐term survival,
with continuing graft function, that is equivalent to that of the age‐matched general …

We previously reported that delayed graft function (DGF) in the absence of biopsy-proven
acute rejection (Rej) had no effect on outcome of primary cadaver kidney transplantation (TX). …
