Preparing for a kidney transplant: Medical nephrectomy in children with nephrotic syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cryptosporidium enteritis can be devastating in the immunocompromised host. In pediatric liver transplant recipients, infection may be complicated by prolonged carriage of the parasite, rejection, and biliary tree damage and fibrosis. Herein, we report on six patients and their long-term outcomes following c...
