Concerns regarding the financial aspects of kidney transplantation: perspectives of pre-transplant patients and their family members.

abstract：:As there are other lesions in the cardiac allografts of long-term survivors, it is best to refer to the vascular lesion as "graft vascular disease". Graft vascular disease may be evident as early as 3 months after cardiac transplantation and may cause death in the recipient as late as 22 years post-transplant. The dis...
