Weight-based vs fixed dosing of darbepoetin alfa for anemia following kidney transplantation
CONCLUSION: Weight-based and fixed dosing approaches for darbepoetin alfa were not different in the achievement of a hemoglobin concentration of at least 10 g/dL without blood transfusion at 12 weeks after darbepoetin alfa initiation, with significantly lower cumulative darbepoetin alfa utilization in the weight-based group. Weight-based dosing of darbepoetin alfa in PTA appears to be safe and effective, with the potential for significant patient and health-system cost savings.PMID:37471466 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxad163

Pneumococcal vaccination coverage at the initiation of chronic dialysis, and its association with mortality during the first year
CONCLUSIONS: Pneumococcal immunization with PCV13 followed by PPSV23, or with PCV13 alone, but not with PPSV23 alone, is independently associated with decreased one year-mortality in patients who start dialysis.PMID:37179164 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.05.003

Risk of Severe Alphaherpesvirus Infection after Solid Organ Transplantation: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study
Biomedicines. 2023 Feb 20;11(2):637. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines11020637.ABSTRACTPatients after solid organ transplantation (SOT) are more susceptible to various viral infections, including alphaherpesviruses. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the risk of alphaherpesvirus infections, including herpes simplex and herpes zoster, after solid organ transplantation. Inpatient records from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) defined solid organ recipients, including heart, liver, lung, and kidney, hospitalized for alphaherpesvirus infections as a severe case group of transplants and matc...

Reproducibility and Step-By-Step Learning Curve of Retroperitoneal Video-Assisted Mini-Laparotomy Surgery for Living Donor Nephrectomy: A Single-Center Experience
CONCLUSIONS: Previous studies reported that video- assisted mini-laparotomy surgery has a steep learning curve and is difficult to reproduce. However, video- assisted mini-laparotomy surgery is a feasible and safe technique at our institution. Video-assisted mini- laparotomy surgery is a solo surgery that can be safely performed by any surgeon with prior kidney surgery experience.PMID:35924743 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2022.0086
