Heavy Alcohol Use Among Deceased Donors Does Not Impact Recipient Outcomes After Liver Transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In response to recent studies, a better understanding of the risks of renal complications among African American and biologically related living kidney donors is needed. METHODS:We examined a database linking U.S. registry identifiers for living kidney donors (1987-2007) to billing claims from a private hea...
