Investigation of IgG Titers in Hemodialysis Patients and Controls Following Administration of the COVID-19 Vaccine.

Introduction: End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients necessitate dialysis when kidney transplantation is not feasible. Hemodialysis patients exhibit higher mortality rates compared to the general population due to uremia and an increased burden of comorbidities. In this vulnerable population, defective innate and adaptive immunity contribute to infectious diseases being a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality.

Prevalence and Prognosis of Post-transplant Glomerulonephritis in Kidney Transplant Biopsies, A Single- Center Report.

Introduction: Recurrence of glomerulonephritis (GN) after kidney transplant (Tx) may be associated with allograft loss. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and prognosis of de novo or recurrent post-Tx GN.

Methods: We reviewed 1305 kidney Tx biopsy samples obtained between 2006 and 2020.
