ZM El-Zoghby, MD Stegall, DJ Lager… - American Journal of …, 2009 - Elsevier
The causes of kidney allograft loss remain unclear. Herein we investigated these causes in
1317 conventional kidney recipients. The cause of graft loss was determined by reviewing
clinical and histologic information the latter available in 98% of cases. During 50.3±32.6
months of follow-up, 330 grafts were lost (25.0%), 138 (10.4%) due to death with function, 39
(2.9%) due to primary nonfunction and 153 (11.6%) due to graft failure censored for death.
The latter group was subdivided by cause into: glomerular diseases (n= 56, 36.6%); …
