Kidney graft survival in patients with hepatitis C: a single center experience.

abstract：:Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a significant complication after pediatric heart transplantation (HT), occurring in 5%-15% of patients within 3 years. Data >3 years from HT are limited. We sought to describe the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of PTLD occurring late (>3 years) after pedia...
