Cardiac screening prior to renal transplantation-good intentions, rather than good evidence, dictate practice.

Abstract:

:Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in kidney transplant recipients in many transplant registries. An analysis of transplant recipients from the United Kingdom using propensity score matching (PSM) suggests there are limited or no benefits to cardiovascular screening before transplant listing. We suggest that short of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in this area, these data are sufficient to suggest that transplant centers should reflect on their current protocols for cardiovascular workup required before transplantation.

  • Youthful systemic milieu alleviates renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in elderly mice.

    abstract::The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is high in elderly people, and is difficult to prevent and treat. One of its major causes is renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). A young systemic environment may prevent the senescence of old organs. However, it is unknown whether a young milieu may reduce renal IRI in t...
