Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alejandra M Mena-Gutierrez"
- Alejandra M Mena-Gutierrez's research primarily focuses on the ethnic disparities in kidney transplant outcomes, particularly examining the influence of employment status and genetics on transplant success among African American and European American recipients.
- In her 2022 study published in BMC Nephrol, she analyzed outcomes of over 23,000 kidney transplants, revealing that employment status at the time of transplant significantly impacts ethnic disparities in allograft survival.
- Another key aspect of her work includes exploring the effects of APOL1 genotypes on kidney transplantation outcomes, as discussed in her article in the Am J Kidney Dis, and advocating for the implementation of APOL1 genetic testing in living kidney donor evaluations to enhance safety and efficacy in transplantation.
