Early Onset Bacteremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Current Era

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infection (BSI) after kidney transplantation increases the risk of graft loss and mortality. We aimed to identify contemporary risk factors and outcomes of early BSI (eBSI) at our transplant center. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from 2019 to 2023.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 544-550, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
