Journal ArticleDOI

Kidney transplantation without calcineurin inhibitor drugs: a prospective, randomized trial of sirolimus versus cyclosporine.

TL;DR: Calcineurin inhibitor drug avoidance with basiliximab induction and sirolimus provides comparable 1-year transplant outcomes, with significantly better renal function in primary renal allograft recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with glomerular filtration rates in living kidney donors

TL;DR: It is shown that age and gender are important factors determining normal GFR in living kidney donors, and a significant doubling in the rate of GFR decline in donors over age 45 as compared to younger donors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, azathioprine, and steroids on wound healing in 513 kidney-transplant recipients.

TL;DR: During a 10-year period marked by changing recipient demographics, the introduction of MMF and SRL did not result in a significant increase in transplant wound-healing complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donor kidney volume and outcomes following live donor kidney transplantation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that transplantation of larger kidneys confers an outcome advantage and larger kidneys should be preferred when selecting from otherwise similar living donors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical resection of renal cell carcinoma after targeted therapy.

TL;DR: Surgical resection of renal cell carcinoma after targeted therapy is feasible with low morbidity in most patients, however, significant complications can occur, raising concern for possible compromise of tissue and/or vascular integrity associated with surgery in this setting.
