[Patient survival scale after kidney transplant from deceased donors in Veracruz, Mexico].

Background: The Estimated Post Transplant Survival (EPTS) score is calculated based on age, the presence of diabetes mellitus, years on dialysis, and prior organ transplant. The EPTS score has been validated in other countries.

Objective: To apply and assess the EPTS score in our population of deceased-donor kidney transplants.

Predictive Factors for Unsuccessful Use of Arteriovenous Fistula in a Population of End-Stage Renal Disease Patients in Southeastern Mexico.

Background: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for long-term hemodialysis. The main disadvantage of AVF is the rate of nonmaturation or unsuccessful use for hemodialysis (FUHD). We described our findings in AVF creation and possible risk factors associated with FUHD.

[Implementation of a clinical prediction tool in renal transplant recipients].

Background: Kasiske developed a tool for predicting the risk of 5-year graft loss. We analyzed our results using this model.

Methods: 109 deceased donor kidney transplants were included.
