Delayed graft function in renal transplantation: etiology, management and long-term significance
DA Shoskes, PF Halloran - The Journal of urology, 1996 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: In cadaveric renal transplantation a period of delayed graft function
postoperatively is not uncommon and often associated with a poor outcome. We reviewed
the biology of reperfusion injury and delayed graft function in renal transplantation, as well
as its prevention, management and long-term effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The
medical literature covering acute tubular necrosis, delayed graft function in renal
transplantation and immunology of ischemia reperfusion injury was reviewed. RESULTS …
