Many factors influence the long‐term outcome of kidney transplantation, which is defined
very schematically by patient death or renal dysfunction leading to graft loss. The most …

With improvements in short-term kidney graft survival, focus has shifted towards long-term
survival. There has also been a substantial improvement in long-term survival as measured …

Acute rejection is a major risk factor for kidney graft failure. However, as acute rejection has
been progressively reduced by recent immunosuppressive regimens, other risk factors are …

Rapid advances have been made in decreasing acute rejection rates and improving short-
term graft survival in kidney transplant recipients. Whether these advances ultimately will …

Despite considerable advances in immunosuppression and in short-term graft survival, little
improvement has been observed in long-term survival rates. About 30% of patients lose their …

Ten-year survival of second kidney transplants: Impact of immunologic factors and renal
function at 12 months. Background The aim of the present study was to assess long-term …

ce: bold> Post-transplant renal function in the first year predicts long-term kidney transplant
survival. Background Improvements in long-term kidney graft survival have been recently …

BACKGROUND: The determinators of patient survival after renal transplantation are
incompletely known, and conflicting results have been reported. This may have been …

Background To describe the causes of graft loss, patient death and survival figures in kidney
transplant patients in Spain based on the recipient's age. Methods The results at 5 years of …
