Deceased donor renal transplantation: A single center experience
Conclusions: This study has shown that steps taken at a single center level alone can also significantly improve organ donation rates. Employment of dedicated professionals including transplant surgeons and coordinators, developing a protocol-based approach for referral, and early counseling in triage along with regular audits can help to establish deceased donor program with acceptable outcomes elsewhere in the country.

Dialysis vascular access: Where do tunneled catheters stand ? & #8211; A single-center experience
Conclusions: With the advent of the “hub and spoke” model for dialysis in the public sector healthcare, TCCs are suboptimal with regards to patient and catheter survival, with high infection rates. It must be regarded as a temporary solution and AVF creation should be prioritized. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

The Gamma Gap Predicts All-Cause Mortality in Chronic Dialysis Patients
Conclusions: In patients on chronic hemodialysis, the gamma gap, along with serum albumin and CRP levels, is an independent predictor of mortality. Gamma gap levels correlate directly with serum CRP and fibrinogen levels and inversely with serum albumin levels. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)
