Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during renal transplantation often initiates non-specific
inflammatory responses that can result in the loss of kidney graft viability. However, the long …

Abundant evidence supports the association between low birth weight (LBW) and renal
dysfunction in humans. Anatomic measurements of infants, children, and adults show …

Hypertension (HTN) and chronic kidney disease are highly prevalent diseases that tend to
occur more frequently among disadvantaged populations, in whom prenatal care also tends …

Nephron number in humans varies up to 13‐fold, likely reflecting the impact of multiple
factors on kidney development, including inherited body size and ethnicity, as well as …

Pre-donation kidney volume and function may be crucial factors in determining graft
outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. We measured living donor kidney volumes by 3D …

Long-term function of kidney allografts depends on multiple variables, one of which may be
the compatibility in size between the graft and the recipient. Here, we assessed the long …

Variation in deceased-donor kidney quality can significantly affect outcomes after kidney
transplantation. Suboptimal organ selection for a given recipient can result in primary …

Background. Knowledge of kidney size is important for clinical assessment of renal disease.
However, there are few studies on methods of assessing kidney size. The purpose of this …

Epidemiologic studies now strongly support the hypothesis, proposed over two decades
ago, that developmental programming of the kidney impacts an individual's risk for …

Results The dependence of graft failure on increasing donor age was less pronounced for
living-donor than for deceased-donor transplants. Male donor–to–male recipient transplants …
