Improved outcomes of combined liver and kidney transplants in small children (

abstract：BACKGROUND:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) recurs after kidney transplantation in more than 30% of cases and can lead to allograft loss. Serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is implicated in the pathogenesis of native and recurrent FSGS. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective stu...
