Transplanting the Elderly: Mandatory Age- and Minimal Histocompatibility Matching

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Worldwide over 40% of patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) are aged 65 years or older, a number that is still increasing. Renal transplantation is the preferred RRT, providing substantial survival benefit over those remaining on dialysis ...

Clinical, immunological and ethical aspects of selecting a recipient for cadaver kidney transplantation

open access: yesВестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2020
The decision to choose a particular patient for kidney transplantation is made through two consecutive decisions: decision to include the patient on the waiting list and decision to select a patient competitively among several candidates for transplant ...

Qualitative and quantitative comparison of cell-free DNA and cell-free fetal DNA isolation by four (semi-)automated extraction methods: impact in two clinical applications: chimerism quantification and noninvasive prenatal diagnosis

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2021
Background Non-invasive molecular analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) became a sensitive biomarker for monitoring organ transplantation or for detection of fetal DNA (cffDNA) in noninvasive prenatal test. In this study, we compared the efficiencies of four
