Efficacy of anticoagulation therapy in end-stage renal disease patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Solid-organ transplant recipients with pretransplant malignancies (PTM) have worse overall survival (OS) compared to recipients without history of malignancy. However, it is unknown whether the increased risk of mortality is due to recurrent cancer-related deaths. METHODS:All solid-organ transplant recipien...
