Comparison of preemptive and non-preemptive kidney transplantation outcomes in children aged <6 years.

We aimed to compare the outcomes of pediatric kidney transplantation (KT) between preemptive KT (PEKT) and non-PEKT in children aged < 6 years. Seventy-four pediatric recipients aged < 6 years who underwent KT were divided into the PEKT and non-PEKT groups. They were retrospectively evaluated for patient and graft survival, graft function, growth, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.

Subclinical C1q Nephropathy Combined with Possible Donor-Derived IgA Deposition in a 1-Year Kidney Allograft Biopsy: A Case Report.

Few previous studies have reported immune-complex nephropathy that has not been classified as a specific phenotype in kidney allografts. We report a case of a de novo subclinical "full-house" pattern of deposition in a pediatric transplantation recipient with possible donor-derived IgA deposition. A five-year-old boy underwent living kidney transplantation due to congenital kidney and urinary tract anomalies.
