TL;DR: The use as well as the limits and deficiencies of currently available prognostic tools are discussed, new predictors that could be integrated in future scores and the role of patients' priorities in development of new scores are described.

TL;DR: It is shown that obese patients with ESRD face barriers to the receipt of a kidney transplant without valid reasons, and greater attention to this issue would improve the fairness of the organ allocation process and might improve outcomes for obese patients in this population.

TL;DR: Ten years after the start of the French ESRD registry, this report provides a comprehensive and nation-wide overview of dialysis and transplantation cares in France, including overseas.

TL;DR: This large European study shows favorable long-term kidney allograft survival in all primary glomerulonephritides, although this remains lower than graft survival in ADPKD, and confirms that the reluctance to use living donors in some primary glomersul onephritis remains unfounded.

TL;DR: Kidney transplantation and survival significantly improved despite the heavier patient burden, however, the rise in type 2 diabetes-related ESRD and the stable high rate of emergency dialysis start remain major issues.
