Objective: To assess for the presence of a sex interaction in the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease.
Design: Random effects meta-analysis using pooled individual participant data.
Setting: 46 cohorts from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australasia.
Background: The influence of donor age and sex on acute rejection episodes and short- and long-term graft survival in living donor (LD) kidney transplantation has not been well characterized.
Methods: This prospective cohort study includes 739 first time LD transplantations with median follow-up time of 55.1 months.
Objective: To find an effective screening strategy for detecting patients with chronic kidney disease and to describe the natural course of the disease.
Design: Eight year follow-up of a cross sectional health survey (the HUNT II study).
Setting: Nord-Trøndelag County, Norway
Participants: 65,604 people (70.
Background: Female gender offers a cardioprotective effect over men in the general population, but is lost in the dialysis population. Whether renal transplantation restores the gender-dependent cardiac protection and whether there is a difference in the impact of risk factors is not known.
Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of pre-defined end points in the placebo arm in the Assessment of Lescol in Renal Transplantation (ALERT) study, a study in renal transplant recipients.
Background: In living donor (LD) kidney transplantation, a predominance of female-to-male donations has been observed. Gender demographics of living donors and outcomes of LD kidney transplantations in Norway were assessed, as this has not been explored previously.
Methods: Data from the Norwegian Renal Registry of first LD kidney transplantations (n = 1319) in the period 1985-2002 were used.
