Introduction: End stage kidney disease (ESKD) affects an estimated 5500 persons living in the United States without legal residency documentation. One likely, but underappreciated cause of ESKD Hispanic migrant population, is chronic unknown etiology (CKDu). CKDu interstitial nephritis that disproportionately young adult agricultural workers Central America who lack traditional risk factors for disease. In underserved populations, such as those at CKDu, substantial barriers to optimal care...
We undertook a prospective, matched cohort study of patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) and gram-negative (GNB) to compare the characteristics, outcomes, chemokine cytokine response in transplant recipients immunocompetent, nontransplant recipients. Fifty-five (GNB n = 29; SAB 26) 225 114; 111) were included for clinical analysis. Transplant GNB had significantly lower incidence septic shock than (10.3% vs 30.7%, p .03). Thirty-day mortality did not differ between 15.8%,...
Outcomes from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are poorly understood.
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has profoundly affected outpatient dialysis. In the United States, patients requiring maintenance dialysis share many risk factors associated with poor outcomes from COVID-19: lower socioeconomic status, older age, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.1 Many dialysis-dependent have reduced immune responses, 85% of treating by in-center hemodialysis must congregate for care three times weekly.2 Existing social disparities among disproportionate...

BACKGROUND: Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a new formulation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) that was approved in 2015. While clinical trial evidence suggests TAF has more favorable outcomes related to kidney injury and loss bone mineral density, also leads higher lipid levels compared with TDF. OBJECTIVES: To (a) determine prescribing rates TDF among recipients from 2014 2018 large academic health system (b) compare baseline patient characteristics those newly prescribed versus...
