Kidney transplantation has been widely demonstrated to outperform dialysis in terms of life expectancy, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). 1 Unfortunately, transplant-related complications can give rise to long-term deleterious effects on allograft outcomes. Infections-which are among the most feared events in kidney transplant recipients (KTR)-account for approximately 15% of all posttransplantation deaths and are responsible for 8% of all death-censored graft failures. 2 Urinary tract infections
In a highly selected cohort, early discharge management of low-grade renal trauma was not associated with an increased risk of early "intervention" compared to inpatient management. Further prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
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.
