Abstract:Background:
High extracellular fluid volume (ECV) is associated with an increased risk of death in non-transplanted patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). By contrast, both the determinants and the prognosis value of ECV in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remain unclear.
Methods:
We studied a bicentric prospective cohort of 2057 KTR, who underwent glomerular filtration rate measurement (mGFR) three months after transplantation. We calculated ECV… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
