John F Valente,Donald E. Hricik,Kelly Weigel,David Seaman,Thomas C. Knauss,Christopher T. Siegel,Kenneth A. Bodziak,James A. Schulak +7 more
TL;DR: The use of sirolimus, tacrolimus and prednisone was associated with a greater incidence of lymphoceles, non‐lymphocele perinephric fluid collections and other consequences of poor wound healing, as compared to contemporary patients treated with MMF, tacrophenolate mofetil andprednisone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors associated with inadequate blood pressure control in hypertensive hemodialysis patients
Mahboob Rahman,Ashwin Dixit,Vicki Donley,Sumit Gupta,Terri Hanslik,Eduardo Lacson,Akin Ogundipe,Kelly Weigel,Michael C. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that hypertension is uncontrolled in most patients undergoing hemodialysis, and submaximal antihypertensive therapy, excessive interdialytic weight gain, and withholding anti- Hypertensive medication before dialysis are correctable factors potentially contributing to uncontrolled hypertension.

Prednisone improves renal function and proteinuria in human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy
Michael C. Smith,Jeffrey L. Austen,John T. Carey,Steven N. Emancipator,Thomas E. Herbener,Barbara Gripshover,Charles Mbanefo,Melinda S. Phinney,Mahboob Rahman,Robert A. Salata,Kelly Weigel,Robert C. Kalayjian +11 more
TL;DR: Prednisone improves serum creatinine and proteinuria in a substantial proportion of adults with HIV-AN and Corticosteroid-related side effects are not prohibitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Withdrawal of steroid therapy in African American kidney transplant recipients receiving sirolimus and tacrolimus.
Donald E. Hricik,Thomas C. Knauss,Kenneth A. Bodziak,Kelly Weigel,Victoria Rodriguez,David Seaman,Christopher T. Siegel,John F Valente,James A. Schulak +8 more
TL;DR: Use of sirolimus and tacrolimus, without the use of induction antibody therapy, allows withdrawal of prednisone as early as 3 months posttransplant with low rates of subsequent acute rejection in African American kidney transplant recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term renal function in type I diabetics after kidney or kidney-pancreas transplantation: influence of number, timing, and treatment of acute rejection episodes.
TL;DR: The benefits of sustained euglycemia, shorter cold ischemia times, lower rates of sensitization, and early use of OKT3 ultimately may be outweighed by the negative effects of more frequent renal rejection episodes.
