Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a serious complication of renal transplantation, with its prevalence and associated factors remaining inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the global prevalence and risk factors associated with TRAS incidence in renal transplant recipients. We conducted a meta-analysis by collecting data on the prevalence and factors associated with TRAS from articles in Scopus, Embase, and PubMed.

Background: Catheter-related right atrial thrombus (CRAT) is a severe complication in hemodialysis patients that can lead to catheter dysfunction and pulmonary embolism (PE). However, no standardized treatment strategy currently exists for hemodialysis-related CRAT. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of catheter replacement and antiplatelet therapy in managing hemodialysis CRAT.

Effect modification occurs when the impact of the treatment on an outcome varies based on the levels of other covariates known as effect modifiers. Modeling these effect differences is important for etiological goals and for purposes of optimizing treatment. Structural nested mean models (SNMMs) are useful causal models for estimating the potentially heterogeneous effect of a time-varying exposure on the mean of an outcome in the presence of time-varying confounding.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers, their immediate use after nephrectomy has been limited because of concerns about impaired renal adaptation. We aimed to evaluate the effect of RAS blockers immediately after unilateral nephrectomy on renal adaptation.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 580 patients who underwent elective unilateral nephrectomy between 2010 and 2020 and had preexisting hypertension with antihypertensive medications.
