Journal ArticleDOI

P. S. Almond,A. J. Matas,K. J. Gillingham,David L. Dunn,William D. Payne,Paul F. Gores,Rainer W.G. Gruessner,J. S. Najarian +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that acute rejection, CsA dosage < 5 mg/kg/day at 1 year, and infection are the major risk factors for the development of chronic rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons learned from more than 1,000 pancreas transplants at a single institution.
David E.R. Sutherland,Rainer W.G. Gruessner,David L. Dunn,Arthur J. Matas,Abhinav Humar,Raja Kandaswamy,S. M. Mauer,William R. Kennedy,Frederick C. Goetz,R. P. Robertson,Angelika C. Gruessner,John S. Najarian +11 more
TL;DR: Patient and graft survival rates have significantly improved over time as surgical techniques and immunosuppressive protocols have evolved, and quality of life studies showed significant gains after the transplant in all recipient categories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunosuppression: evolution in practice and trends, 1994-2004.
Herwig Ulf Meier-Kriesche,S. Li,Rainer W.G. Gruessner,John J. Fung,Rami Bustami,Mark L. Barr,Alan B. Leichtman +6 more
TL;DR: An organ‐by‐organ review of OPTN/SRTR data showed several important trends in immunosuppression practice, including an increasing trend toward the use of induction therapy with antibodies, and maintenance of the original discharge regimen through the first 3 years following transplantation varied significantly by organ and drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed graft function, acute rejection, and outcome after cadaver renal transplantation: A multivariate analysis
Christoph Troppmann,K. J. Gillingham,Enrico Benedetti,P. S. Almond,Rainer W.G. Gruessner,J. S. Najarian,Arthur J. Matas +6 more
TL;DR: The impact of delayed graft function on outcome after cadaver renal transplantation has been controversial, but most authors fail to control for the presence or absence of rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival Benefit of Solid-Organ Transplant in the United States
Abbas Rana,Angelika C. Gruessner,Vatche G. Agopian,Zain Khalpey,Irbaz Bin Riaz,Bruce Kaplan,Karim J. Halazun,Ronald W. Busuttil,Rainer W.G. Gruessner +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that more than 2 million life-years were saved to date by solid-organ transplants during a 25-year study period.
