Mashup Score: 0Increasing Kidney-Exchange Options Within the Existing Living Donor Pool With CIAT: A Pilot Implementation Study - 12 month(s) ago
Computerized integration of alternative transplantation programs (CIAT) is a kidney-exchange program that allows AB0- and/or HLA-incompatible allocation to difficult-to-match patients, thereby increasing their chances. Altruistic donors make this available for waiting list patients as well. Strict criteria were defined for selected highly-immunized (sHI) and long waiting (LW) candidates. For LW…

Mashup Score: 0External Validation of the Toulouse-Rangueil Predictive Model to Estimate Donor Renal Function After Living Donor Nephrectomy - 1 year(s) ago
A predictive model to estimate post-donation glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and risk of CKD at 1-year was developed from a Toulouse-Rangueil cohort in 2017 and showed an excellent correlation to the observed 1-year post-donation eGFR. We retrospectively analyzed all living donor kidney transplants performed at a single center from 1998 to 2020. Observed eGFR using CKD-EPI formula at 1-year…

Mashup Score: 0Twenty Years of Unspecified Kidney Donation: Unspecified Donors Looking Back on Their Donation Experiences - 1 year(s) ago
The Netherlands was the first European country to implement unspecified kidney donation in 2000. This qualitative study aimed to evaluate the experiences of unspecified kidney donors (UKDs) in our transplant institute to improve the care for this valuable group of donors. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 106 UKDs who donated between 2000–2016 (response rate 84%). Interviews were…

Mashup Score: 0Donor Skeletal Muscle Quality Affects Graft Mortality After Living Donor Liver Transplantation- A Single Center, Retrospective Study - 1 year(s) ago
The recipient muscle status is closely associated with postoperative poor survival in recipients of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, it is uncertain whether LDLT donor muscle quality and quantity affect graft quality. Hence, we analyzed the correlation between donor muscle status and graft function. We measured the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and intramuscular adipose…

Mashup Score: 0
Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in 25% of recipients of living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). Female sex, age, and anatomical abnormalities have been reported as recipient-related risk factors for UTI after LDKT; few studies have reported donor-related factors. We retrospectively examined UTI occurrence within 5 years of transplantation in recipients (n = 211) who underwent LDKT at our…

Mashup Score: 7Nanotubes illuminate the way to living photovoltaics - 2 year(s) ago
Scientists at EPFL have gotten bacteria to spontaneously take up fluorescent carbon nanotubes for the first time. The breakthrough unlocks new biotechnology applications for prokaryotes, such as near-infrared bacteria tracking and “living photovoltaics” – devices that generate energy using light-harvesting bacteria.

Mashup Score: 0Creating a Single Inflow Orifice From Living Donor Kidney Allografts With Multiple Renal Arteries - 2 year(s) ago
Background: Multiple renal arteries (MRA) are often encountered during living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), requiring surgeons to pursue complex renovascular reconstructions prior to graft implantation. With improvements in reconstruction and anastomosis techniques, allografts with MRA can be successfully transplanted with similar outcomes to allografts with a single renal artery. Here, we…

Mashup Score: 0Relinquishing Anonymity in Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: Lessons Learned From the UK Policy for Anonymous Donors - 2 year(s) ago
Anonymous living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is performed in many countries and policies on anonymity differ. The UK is the only European country with a conditional policy, allowing pairs to break anonymity post-transplant. There is little evidence on how contact after anonymous LDKT is experienced. In this cross-sectional study participants who donated or received a kidney through…
