DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines13071660
Abstract: Protocol biopsies are a fundamental component in the management of kidney transplant recipients, offering critical insights into graft health by detecting subclinical pathological changes undetectable through routine clinical and laboratory assessments. Conducted at predetermined intervals,… read more here.
