Kidney transplant survival in pediatric and young adults.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In a previous study we showed that troponin I (TnI) > 0.42 ng/mL predicted the need of dialysis in a group of 29 septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to confirm such finding in a larger independent sample. METHODS:All septic patients admitted to an ICU from March 2016 to Febru...
