Ascites development is associated with worse outcome in patients after kidney transplantation.

Background: We provide detailed analysis and outcomes in patients post-kidney transplant (KT) developing ascites, which has never been categorically reported.

Methods: Ascites was identified by ICD9/10 codes and detailed chart review in patients post-KT from 01/2004-06/2019. The incidence of patient death and graft loss were determined per 100-person-years, and the incidence rate ratio was obtained.

Cysteine Trisulfide Protects from Electrophile-Induced Death through the Generation of Cysteine Hydropersulfide.

Hydropersulfide and polysulfide species have recently been shown to elicit a wide variety of biological and physiological responses. In this study, we examine the effects of cysteine trisulfide (Cys-SSS-Cys; also known as thiocystine) treatment on . Previous studies in mammalian cells have shown that Cys-SSS-Cys treatment results in protection from the electrophiles.
