This report describes the unknown exon 4 sequence of the rare A*7403 allele, identified in a Caucasian renal transplant cadaveric donor from Italy. This sequence is identical to that of the only known A*7401 exon 4, and this result allowed us to confirm the hypothesis of the generation of A*7403 allele from the ancestor A*7402 by point mutation in exon 2.

Background: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the renal pelvis is a rare cancer within the urinary system. However, the prognosis is not entirely satisfactory. This study aims to develop a clinical model for predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS) at 1-, 3-, and 5-year for White Americans with renal pelvic TCC.

Introduction: The GOAL trial, a cluster randomized controlled trial, investigated the effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on frail older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This paper describes the following: (i) participant baseline characteristics, and (ii) their relationship with CKD stage and frailty severity.
Methods: Sixteen kidney outpatient clinics (clusters) were randomly allocated 1:1 to CGA or usual care.
Introduction: Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) represent distinct pathological and clinical entities with known chronicity and recurrence. Kidney biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose TMA in patients with renal manifestations but the prognostic significance of acute or chronic phase of the disease has not been well studied. We examined the clinical characteristics, management, and predictors of acute vs.

A unified consensus on the optimal transfusion hemoglobin concentration threshold is needed to improve outcomes. This study investigated the effects of different transfusion thresholds during hospitalization on the prognosis of patients with sepsis and renal failure.

Introduction: In recent years, numerous hospitals have established in-house three-dimensional (3D) printing centers, enabling health-care facilities to leverage the transformative capabilities of additive manufacturing technology on their premises. With this emerging opportunity arises a necessity to undertake a thorough assessment of the manufactured tools employed in clinical practice. The objectives of this article are to describe the pathway of in-house printing and evaluate the accuracy of 3D-printed specific instruments.
