TLDR
The prevalence of anemia in the transplant recipients was remarkably high and appeared to be associated with impaired renal function and with ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonist use.

Renin Angiotensin System Blockade in Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review of the Evidence

TL;DR: A systematic review of randomized trials (n = 21 trials with 1549 patients) was conducted to determine the effect of ACE-inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) use following kidney transplantation as mentioned in this paper.

The burden of chronic kidney disease in renal transplant recipients.

TL;DR: CKD and the complications of CKD are highly prevalent in renal transplant recipients and the classification of renal transplant patients by CKD stage may help clinicians identify patients at increased risk and target appropriate therapy to improve outcomes.

Renal association clinical practice guideline on Anaemia of Chronic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: The current guidelines provide advice to health care professionals on how to screen chronic kidney disease patients for anaemia, which patients to investigate for other causes of anaemia and when and how to treat patients with different medications, how to ensure safe prescribing of treatment and the drugs used for its treatment.

Prediction of Creatinine Clearance from Serum Creatinine

Donald W. Cockcroft, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1976 - 
TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).

Mycophenolate mofetil for the prevention of acute rejection in primary cadaveric renal allograft recipients. U.S. Renal Transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil Study Group.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that MMF administered at a dosage of 2 g or 3 g daily, in combination with maintenance CsA and corticosteroids as triple therapy following ATGAM® induction therapy, is more effective than an otherwise identical regimen that includes azathioprine instead of MMF in preventing acute allograft rejection in first cadaveric renal transplant patients.

Cardiovascular disease after renal transplantation.

TL;DR: In the absence of controlled intervention trials, the strength of evidence that modifying a risk factor will reduce the incidence of post-transplant cardiovascular disease must rest on: (1) evidence from studies in the general population, (2) observational studies linking the risk factor to CVD in renal transplant recipients, and (3) studies showing that the risk factors can be safely and effectively treated in transplant patients as mentioned in this paper.
