TY - JOUR T1 - ADvances help optimize kidney transplants AU - Mitka M Y1 - 2009/03/11 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2009.292 JO - JAMA SP - 1009 EP - 1010 VL - 301 IS - 10 N2 - Different groups of researchers recently have found a potentially easier method of predicting polyomavirus nephropathy in kidney recipients, which can result in chronic allograft failure or loss if it is not treated at an early stage. Other investigators created a set of nomograms to give physicians a fairly easy tool to weigh a multitude of factors to optimize a match between living donors and kidney recipients.
