Introduction: Membranous nephropathy can lead to end-stage kidney disease, for which kidney transplantation is the preferred therapy. However, the disease often relapses, which can impact allograft survival.
Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter study in France involving 72 patients with membranous nephropathy who were awaiting and then underwent kidney transplantation.
Not all patients on dialysis want to be registered on the kidney transplantation (KT) waiting list and undergo transplantation. The aim of this convergent mixed methods study was to determine the features of patients refusing to be registered on the KT waiting list and the reasons. Quantitative data on all 2017-2019 incident 18-85-year-old dialysis patients, eligible for KT, were extracted from the REIN registry in France.

Objective: This review aimed to systematically evaluate the available research evidence on the relationship between mobile applications and treatment management in transplant patients.
Fluid overload predicts morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Diuretics can reduce fluid overload, but their effects on morbi-mortality following inception remain ill-defined. To determine whether diuretics reduce mortality and hospitalization rates in incident dialysis patients in the first 2 years after inception.
