DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11625
Abstract: Editor We read with interest the excellent study by Heylen et al.1. The authors concluded that we must keep donor nephrectomy time in kidneys donated after circulatory death (DCD) as short as possible with efficient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00423-025-03880-9
Abstract: Multiple renal arteries (MRA) in a donor kidney can increase surgical complexity in living donor kidney transplantation. However, the impact of MRA on early transplant outcomes, including delayed graft function (DGF) and early graft failure,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40262-025-01533-0
Abstract: Tacrolimus treatment is complicated by its narrow therapeutic range and large inter- and intra-patient variability. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and dosing algorithm to predict an individual’s dose requirement following living… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2016.09.054
Abstract: Worldwide, the number of patients able to benefit from kidney transplantation is greatly restricted by the severe shortage of deceased donor organs. Allocation of this scarce resource is increasingly challenging and complex. Striking an acceptable… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The introduction of rituximab has contributed to successful living donor kidney transplantations in ABO-incompatible recipients and has replaced splenectomy for desensitization. However, several reports still suggest that postoperative splenectomy may be effective in preventing… read more here.
