Explore the latest in renal replacement, including recent advances in dialysis, hemofiltration, and renal transplant.
This diagnostic study assesses whether a deep learning model could accurately predict the patient-specific expected reference range of estimated glomerular filtration rate after kidney transplant.
This cross-sectional study examines the association between transit time and cold ischemic time for adult, deceased kidney transplant donors.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of a third dose of mRNA-based vs a vector-based vaccine in 201 kidney transplant recipients with no SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after 2 prior doses of an mRNA vaccine.
A 51-year-old woman had intense and worsening polyarthralgia and swelling of bilateral fingers and toes 1 year after kidney transplant complicated by Volvariella volvacea infection of the central nervous system. Her medications included tacrolimus, prednisolone, cinacalcet, and voriconazole. Alkaline phosphatase level was elevated, and radiography of the hands revealed periostitis. What is the diagnosis and what would you do next?
This study examines rates of home dialysis and transplant at dialysis facilities that serve patients with high social risk to understand how they fare under the End-Stage Renal Disease Treatment Choices Model.
This cross-sectional study evaluates if racial disparities persist in living donor kidney transplant independent of community-level vulnerability.

This cohort study examines risk factors associated with COVID-19 and mortality among Medicare patients receiving long-term maintenance dialysis.
This study examined US kidney transplant center websites for readability and for inclusion of languages other than English.
This cohort study aims to determine whether the introduction of the End Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment System in 2011 was associated with an acceleration in acquisitions and closures of small dialysis chains and independently owned facilities.

This cohort study compares the risk of sudden cardiac death with respiratory fluoroquinolone vs amoxicillin-based antibiotic treatment in patients with hemodialysis-dependent kidney failure.
This cohort study investigates the association of exposure to ambient fine particulate matter air pollution with kidney transplant outcomes.
This cross-sectional study aims to develop validated models to estimate the probability of dialysis after nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy.
This cohort study examines whether patient, facility, and kidney transplant waitlisting characteristics are associated with variations in dialysis center quality.
In this narrative medicine essay, a critical care physician tells how plans for her sister’s kidney transplant halted last year when the COVID-19 pandemic caused the shutdown of most nonurgent medical care services and hopes the system can develop a better process for patients with chronic diseases.
