Usefulness of pretransplant aortic arch calcification evaluation for kidney transplant outcome prediction in one year follow-up

Usefulness of pretransplant aortic arch calcification evaluation for kidney transplant outcome prediction in one year follow-up

Vascular calcification (VC) is linked to post-transplant cardiovascular events and hypercalcemia which may influence kidney graft function in the long term. We aimed to evaluate whether pretransplant aortic arch calcification (AoAC) can predict post-transplant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular event...
