4.	Infections 01/01/2020 - "Survival after pediatric kidney transplantation has improved considerably over the past four decades, predominantly because of marked reductions in cardiovascular- and infection-related deaths." 01/01/2001 - "Despite improvement in graft survival, infection continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality after kidney transplantation. " 06/21/2013 - "BK virus infection has emerged as a major complication in kidney transplantation leading to a significant reduction in graft survival. " 04/01/2013 - "Good outcomes after renal transplantation are dependent on effective immunosuppression while minimizing infection. " 06/01/2009 - "We have found that post-renal transplantation immunosuppressive monotherapy results in a good outcome with a reduced number of severe infections. "
5.	Kidney Diseases (Kidney Disease) 12/01/2021 - "Renal transplantation remains the best treatment option of renal replacement for end-stagechronic kidney disease. " 12/01/2021 - "Allogeneic kidney transplantation (renal allograft) is the most effective treatment for advanced kidney disease. " 01/01/2019 - "Background: A mechanism to predict graft failure before the actual kidney transplantation occurs is crucial to clinical management of chronic kidney disease patients. Several kidney graft outcome prediction models, developed using machine learning methods, are available in the literature. However, most of those models used small datasets and none of the machine learning-based prediction models available in the medical literature modelled time-to-event (survival) information, but instead used the binary outcome of failure or not. " 01/01/2018 - "The 2014 Consensus Conference on Best Practices in Living Kidney Donations recognized live donor kidney transplantation as the best treatment for late-stage kidney disease, yielding superior graft and patient survival, improved quality of life, fewer requirements for dialysis and increased cost-effectiveness compared to deceased donor kidney transplantation. " 08/01/2016 - "Renal transplant is the best treatment for patients with chronical kidney disease however acute graft rejection is the major impediment to success in renal transplantation leading to loss of the organ the first year after transplantation.
