Remaining kidney volume indexed to weight as a strong predictor of estimated gl...
Nunes-Carneiro, Diogo; Madanelo, Mariana; Silva, Filipa; Pestana, Nicole; Ribeiro, Catarina; Gil‐Sousa, Diogo; Martins, La Salete; Almeida, ManuelaThe donors' estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after living nephrectomy has been a concern, particularly in donors with smaller kindeys. Therefore, we developed this retrospective observational study in 195 donors to determine the ability remaining kidney volume indexed to weight (RKV/W) to predict eGFR at 1 year through multivariate linear regression and to explore this relationship between annual eGF...

The first ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation performed in Portugal
Barreto, Patrícia; Vieira, Pedro; Dias, Leonidio; Almeida, Manuela; Pedroso, Sofia; Martins, La Salete; Henriques, António Castro; BINI ANTUNES, MARIKAKidney transplantation is the optimal treatment of end -stage renal disease (ESRD) improving survival and quality of life for most recipients.
