Urinary CD133+ extracellular vesicles are decreased in kidney transplanted patients with slow graft function and vascular damage.

Urinary CD133+ extracellular vesicles are decreased in kidney transplanted patients with slow graft function and vascular damage.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in the urine are mainly released from cells of the nephron and can therefore provide information on kidney function.
