BACKGROUND
Restrictive management of fluid status has been proposed to increase the rates of lung grafts available for transplant. However, no studies have supported the effect of this negative fluid balance in the kidney graft recipients.
METHODS
We evaluated the effect of restrictive fluid balance in brain-dead donors and their impact in 404 kidney recipients using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression for long-term effects, and logistic regression for short-term effects. Our primary… CONTINUE READING
