Prevention of cardiovascular disease after renal transplantation
- Medicine, BiologyCurrent opinion in organ transplantation

To prevent CVD in renal transplant recipients, cardiovascular risk assessment should be performed regularly and prevention should include both lifestyle modifications, optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors and strategies to preserve graft function.
Has the survival of the graft improved after renal transplantation in the era of modern immunosuppression?
- MedicineNefrologia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola Nefrologia
- 2013
This review analyses some of the evidences conditioning graft failure as well as related therapeutic and prognostic aspects, and identifies the causes of graft failure and its risk factors, applying predictive models, and intervening in causal factors could constitute strategies for improving kidney transplantation results in terms of survival.

Factors influencing long‐term outcome after kidney transplantation
- MedicineTransplant international : official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation

Although current immunosuppression regimes are highly efficient in preventing acute rejection, the burden of specific (diabetes, nephrotoxicity) and nonspecific side effects has significant negative long‐term consequences that may well be worse in the future because of the increasing ages of both donors and recipients.

The natural history of chronic allograft nephropathy.
- MedicineThe New England journal of medicine

Chronic allograft nephropathy represents cumulative and incremental damage to nephrons from time-dependent immunologic and nonimmunologic causes, and was irreversible, resulting in declining renal function and graft failure.

The paradigm that chronic rejection causes all progressive late allograft failure has been replaced by a hypothesis of cumulative damage, where a series of time-dependent immune and nonimmune…
Chronic renal failure after transplantation of a nonrenal organ.
- MedicineThe New England journal of medicine

The five-year risk of chronic renal failure after transplantation of a nonrenal organ ranges from 7 to 21 percent, depending on the type of organ transplanted, and is associated with an increase by a factor of more than four in the risk of death.

Comparison of the Predictive Performance of eGFR Formulae for Mortality and Graft Failure in Renal Transplant Recipients
- MedicineTransplantation
- 2009
Seven eGFR equations showed similar and limited utility in predicting mortality and graft failure after renal transplantation, which has important implications for the management of renal transplant recipients and the use of an eG FR as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials.
A molecular classifier for predicting future graft loss in late kidney transplant biopsies.
- Medicine, BiologyThe Journal of clinical investigation
- 2010
The molecular risk score reflects active injury and is superior to either scarring or function in predicting graft failure and was the only predictor of graft loss in an independent validation set.
