Induction with rATG versus no-induction in deceased donor renal transplantation & #8211; A retrospective observational study
Conclusion: The incidence of AR was less in patients who received rATG induction compared with patients who did not receive any form of induction. An added advantage of induction with ATG in terms of reduced incidence of AR must be weighed against high incidence of infection, death with functioning graft, and death.

Uremic sarcopenia
Subashri Mohanasundaram, Edwin FernandoIndian Journal of Nephrology 2022 32(5):399-405
“Uremic sarcopenia” refers to a progressive decrease in muscle mass, strength, and function despite normal skeletal muscle physiology in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sarcopenia involves multiple risk factors, comprising immunological changes, hormonal, metabolic acidosis, reduced protein intake, and physical inactivity. All these risk factors, along with complex pathophysiological mechanisms including ubiquitin, insulin/IGF-1, myostatin, and indoxyl sulfate, activate downstream pathways that ulti...
