Abstract:IntroductionThe causal relationship between hyperparathyroidism and kidney graft dysfunction remains inconclusive. Applying Bradford‐Hill's temporality and consistency causation principles, we assessed the effect of parathyroid hormone (iPTH) on graft histology and eGFR trajectory on kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with normal time‐zero graft biopsies.MethodsRetrospective cohort study evaluating the effect of hyperparathyroidism on interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) development in 1232 graft… Show more
