Die Sicherheit des Lebendnierenspenders – Das Deutsche Lebendspende Register SOLKID-GNR – Entstehung und Struktur eines nationalen Registers in der Versorgungsforschung

ZusammenfassungIm Deutschen Lebendspende Register SOLKID-GNR (Safety of the Living Kidney Donor – The German National Register) werden medizinische und psychosoziale Daten zum Outcome von Lebendnierenspender erhoben. Die prospektive Datenerhebung ermöglicht erstmals in Deutschland eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Langzeitanalyse, wie sich eine Lebendnierenspende auf die psychische und physische Gesundheit von Lebendnierenspendern auswirkt. Dies trägt direkt zu einer Verbesserung der Information und Versorgung der Lebendnierenspender bei.

Rapid Steroid Withdrawal after Renal Transplantation Reduces Mortality: Five Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial (Harmony Study) Confirms Long Term Efficacy and Safety

Methods: Following the end of the original one-year study period, patients were asked to participate in the observational follow-up (FU) study examining most of the end points of the original study. Hereby, de novo incidences between yea…
