Kidney transplants involving living related and unrelated donors have similar 10-year graft survival, even with differences in HLA matching, according to Brazilian investigators who presented their findings at Renal Week 2010 in Denver.
Perioperative blood transfusions are associated with an increased risk of renal graft failure long term, suggest new findings presented at Renal Week 2010 in Denver.
Elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) death among elderly men independent of renal function and other parameters of mineral metabolism, according to Swedish researchers who presented their findings at Renal Week 2010 in Denver.
Black transplant patients may be a lower risk of BKV infection after transplantation than their white counterparts, according to a study presented at Renal Week 2010 in Denver.

Higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with lower mortality among patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and this survival advantage differs by race and gender, suggest new findings presented at Renal Week 2010 in Denver.
