Introduction: Early hospital readmission (EHR), at least 1 hospitalization within 30 days of initial discharge after kidney transplant, is a well-known problem in transplant recipients (KTR). However, to our knowledge, very few studies address this issue. KTR's are vulnerable population due years ESRD and significant chronic illnesses. Aim: knowing the risk burden EHR crucial for expansion interventions improve KTR related morbidity indirectly reduce medical care costs. Mexico's General...
Interstitial fibrosis (IF) and glomerular atrophy (GA) are part of chronic graft nephropathy. Early detection prompts strategies to improve long-term survival. Biopsy is the gold standard determine grade fibrosis, it not free from adverse events, including loss. Liver can be measured using elastography. There enough evidence about its usefulness for renal grafts; some studies have shown good correlation between in biopsies elastography but with function. Aim. Determine association reported...
