Intraoperative heparin did not reduce the incidence of graft thrombosis in this retrospective study. It did increase the postoperative blood transfusion requirements. As a result of this analysis, we have abandoned its use.
In the setting of deceased donor renal transplantation, mismatching of donor to recipient weight had no impact on 5-year allograft survival, but a low DBW/RBW ratio is modestly associated with lower eGFR.
Kidney and liver transplants were needed more often because of chronic toxicity than acute poisoning. Both groups had good outcomes at one year post-transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
