Subclinical Pancreas Rejection on Protocol Biopsy Within the First Year of Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant.

This single-center retrospective study investigated subclinical rejection prevalence and significance in simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant (SPKT) recipients. We analyzed 352 SPKT recipients from July 2003 to April 2022. Our protocol included pancreas allograft surveillance biopsies at 1, 4, and 12months post-transplant.

Outcomes of asymptomatic histologic pyelonephritis of kidney transplant.

Background: Urinary Tract Infections are the most common post-transplant infection and can have varied presentations. This study aimed to describe the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic histologic pyelonephritis on allograft biopsy. Histologic Pyelonephritis was defined as neutrophil cast or neutrophilic tubulitis, interstitial infiltrates with predominant neutrophils, and no evidence of rejection or glomerulonephritis on biopsy.

Favorable Outcomes in Older Recipients Receiving Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplantation.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of older (50-65 y) type 1 diabetics with body mass index <35 kg/m and type 2 diabetics with body mass index <30 kg/m who received simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPKT) versus living donor kidney transplants (LDKTs). All subjects had insulin-dependent diabetes.

Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study from July 2003 to March 2021 with a median follow-up of 7.

Duration of delayed graft function and its impact on graft outcomes in deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Background: There is controversy regarding the impact of delayed graft function (DGF) on kidney transplant outcomes. We hypothesize that the duration of DGF, rather than DGF itself, is associated with long-term kidney graft function.

Methods: We analyzed all deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) done at our center between 2008 to 2020.
