Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the quality of life and cost-utility of renal transplantation
Andreas Laupacis,Paul Keown,Nancy Pus,Hans Krueger,Beryl Ferguson,Cynthia J. Wong,Norman Muirhead +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that renal transplantation was more effective and less costly than dialysis in all subgroups of patients examined, including patients older than 60 and diabetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lam,Ed Tapper +35 more
TL;DR: MMF is associated with a significantly lower rate of treatment failure compared with AZA during the first 6 months after renal transplantation and produces a clinically important reduction in the incidence, severity, and treatment of acute graft rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canadian Hemodialysis Morbidity Study
David N. Churchill,D. Wayne Taylor,Richard J. Cook,Patricia Laplante,Paul E. Barre,Pierre Cartier,William P. Fay,Marc Goldstein,Kailash Jindal,Henry Mandin,John K. McKenzie,Norman Muirhead,Patrick S. Parfrey,Gerald A. Posen,David Slaughter,Raymond A. Ulan,Ronald Werb +16 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to determine the probabilities of specific morbid events or death among patients with end-stage renal disease treated by hemodialysis, and older age and history of cardiovascular disease were independently associated with a greater probability of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hemoglobin levels in hemodialysis patients with asymptomatic cardiomyopathy
Robert N. Foley,Patrick S. Parfrey,Janet Morgan,Paul E. Barre,Patricia Campbell,Pierre Cartier,Douglas Coyle,Adrian Fine,Paul Handa,Iris Kingma,Cathy Y. Lau,Adeera Levin,David C. Mendelssohn,Norman Muirhead,T. Brendan Murphy,Richard K. Plante,Gerald A. Posen,George A. Wells +17 more
TL;DR: Normalization of hemoglobin does not lead to regression of established concentric LV hypertrophy or LV dilation, and it may, however, prevent the development of LV dilated and it leads to improved quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-Analysis: Risk for Hypertension in Living Kidney Donors
Neil Boudville,G. V. Ramesh Prasad,Greg Knoll,Norman Muirhead,Heather Thiessen-Philbrook,Robert C. Yang,M. Patricia Rosas-Arellano,Abdulrahman Housawi,Amit X. Garg +8 more
TL;DR: This review found 10 studies that compared blood pressure between kidney donors and healthy adults with similar age, sex, and ethnicity and explored whether normotensive adults who donate a kidney develop higher blood pressure and risk for hypertension compared with healthy nondonors acting as control participants.
