An analysis of pancreas transplantation outcomes based on age groupings--an update of the UNOS database.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The survival of patients returning to hemodialysis (HD) following kidney transplant failure is unfavorable. However, the factors responsible for this poor outcome are largely unknown; chronic inflammation due to failed allograft and malnutrition may contribute to morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare ...
