No apparent impact of increased post-operative blood glucose levels on clinical outcome in kidney transplant recipients.

abstract：:Low birthweight is linked to hypertension, chronic kidney disease and even end-stage renal disease. We hypothesized that living kidney donors born with lower birthweight may be at increased risk of hypertension, albuminuria, or reduced GFR beyond what is typical following uninephrectomy. Two hundred fifty-seven living...
