Infection-Related Mortality in Recipients of a Kidney Transplant in Australia and New Zealand.
...Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
The burden of infectious disease is high among kidney transplant recipients because of concomitant immunosuppression. In this study the incidence of infectious-related mortality and associated factors were evaluated. In this registry-based retrospective, longitudinal cohort study, recipients of a first kidney transplant in Australia and New Zealand...
Kidney Support in Children using an Ultrafiltration Device: A Multicenter, Retrospective Study.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Provision of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) to manage kidney injury and volume overload in critically ill neonates and small children is technically challenging. The use of machines designed for adult-sized patients, necessitates large catheters, a high extracorporeal volume relative to patient size, and need for blood priming. The Aquadex FlexFl...
A Technology Roadmap for Innovative Approaches to Kidney Replacement Therapies: A Catalyst for Change.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
The number of patients dialyzed for ESKD exceeds 500,000 in the United States and more than 2.6 million people worldwide, with the expectation that the worldwide number will double by 2030. The human cost of health and societal financial cost of ESKD is substantial. Dialytic therapy is associated with an unacceptably high morbidity and mortality ra...

Self-Reported Incident Hypertension and Long-Term Kidney Function in Living Kidney Donors Compared with Healthy Nondonor...
...Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
The risk of hypertension attributable to living kidney donation remains unknown as does the effect of developing postdonation hypertension on subsequent eGFR. We sought to understand the association between living kidney donation, hypertension, and long-term eGFR by comparing donors with a cohort of healthy nondonors. We compared 1295 living kidney...
Trends in Disparities in Preemptive Kidney Transplantation in the United States.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Long wait times for deceased donor kidneys and low rates of preemptive wait-listing have limited preemptive transplantation in the United States. We aimed to assess trends in preemptive deceased donor transplantation with the introduction of the new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) in 2014 and identify whether key disparities in preemptive transplant...
Peritoneal Dialysis Patient Outcomes under the Medicare Expanded Dialysis Prospective Payment System.
Published in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) use increased in the United States with the introduction of a new Medicare prospective payment system in January 2011 that likely reduced financial disincentives for facility use of this home therapy. The expansion of PD to a broader population and facilities having less PD experience may have implications for patient outco...
