Incidence of Lymphoproliferative Disorders After Renal Transplantation is Down, but the Poor Prognosis Remains. Multicenter 32-Year Cohort Study.

Background: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders represent rare but serious complications of kidney transplantation.

Methods: We assessed incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in 21,546 patients receiving grafts between 1990 and 2009. Data were compared by decade of transplant (1990-1999 vs 2000-2009).

There Are 33,784 Functioning Kidney Grafts in Spain: Who Monitors Them and How?

Pre-emptive deceased-donor kidney transplant: A matched cohort study.

Introduction: Currently, kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with kidney disease who require replacement therapy. Dialysis is a necessary step, but not mandatory prior to transplantation. There is the possibility of pre-emptive transplantation or transplantation in pre-dialysis, that is, without previous dialysis.
