  1. Donor TNFα linked to worse kidney graft outcomes
    High circulating tumor necrosis factor α in deceased organ donors associates with inferior kidney graft function and survival after transplantation through TNFR1-mediated injury mechanisms.
  2. Comparison of Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Treating 1–2 cm Single Stones in Solitary Kidney: Outcomes and Renal Function Impact
    Flexible ureteroscopy achieves comparable stone-free rates to mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 1-2 cm stones in solitary kidneys while maintaining superior safety and better renal function.
  3. Mild AKI in elderly kidney donors did not worsen graft outcomes
    Kidney transplantation from elderly donors with mild acute kidney injury yields comparable graft survival and function to non-AKI donors, supporting expanded utilization in recipient selection.
