Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Previous Cardiac Revascularization: Impact on Patient Survival, Graft Survival, and Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipients Open
Background. Kidney transplant physicians believe that the cardiac status of kidney transplant recipients influences posttransplant outcomes. However, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) does not include cardiac variable…

Predictors of Mid-Term Glomerular Filtration Rate after Deceased Donor Renal Transplantation: Kidney Donor Profile Index as a Predictor of Mid-Term GFR Open
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an excellent indicator of renal function; however, it is rarely evaluated as an endpoint. We investigated donor and recipient factors for associations that might be predictive of mid-term GFR after renal…

Understanding the Impact of Pneumonia and Other Complications in Elderly Liver Transplant Recipients: An Analysis of NSQIP Transplant Open
Background. Despite an increasing demand for liver transplantation in older patients, our understanding of posttransplant outcomes in older recipients is limited to basic recipient and graft survival. Using National Surgical Quality Improv…

Native kidney small renal masses in patients with kidney transplants: Does chronic immunosuppression affect tumor biology? Open
Introduction: We compared clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes of radical nephrectomy (RN) for small renal masses (SRM) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) before or after transplant at a high-volume urologic and tran…

A Safe Anti-A2 Titer for a Successful A2 Incompatible Kidney Transplantation: A Single-center Experience and Review of the Literature Open
Background. Kidney allocation system allows blood type B candidates accept kidneys from A2/A2B donors. There is no mandate by UNOS on which the anti-A2 level is acceptable. We aimed to investigate the safety of kidney transplant in blood g…

Beyond death and graft survival—Variation in outcomes after kidney transplantation. Results from the NSQIP Transplant beta phase Open
The National Surgical Quality Program (NSQIP) Transplant was designed by transplant surgeons from the ground up to track posttransplant outcomes beyond basic recipient and graft survival. After an initial pilot phase, the program has expan…

Comparing the Predictive Power of Preoperative Risk Assessment Tools to Best Predict Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Kidney Transplant Patients Open
Background . Patients undergoing kidney transplantation have increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events due to histories of hypertension, end-stage renal disease, and dialysis. As such, they are especially in need of accurate preopera…

A Retrospective Cohort Study on Rehospitalization following Expanded Criteria Donor Kidney Transplantation Open
Background . Expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys are commonly used but are associated with increased graft failure. Graft failure is in turn related to rehospitalization within thirty days post transplant. Our goal was to determine wheth…

Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder Presenting as Testicular Lymphoma in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Open
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a malignancy caused by the immunosuppression that occurs after transplantation. It is primarily a nodal lesion but frequently it involves extranodal masses. Treatment is usually by redu…
