  1. Outcomes in partial nephrectomy depend on technique and tumor factors
    Technical and surgical determinants of outcomes in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy for renal masses, emphasizing preoperative planning and intraoperative decision-making.
  2. Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio may help predict stone risk in very young children
    Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio demonstrates moderate discriminatory power for kidney stone risk in infants and toddlers, with a threshold of 0.23 mg/mg indicating elevated lithogenic potential.
  3. dd-cfDNA tracks kidney rejection activity across the continuum
    Donor-derived cell-free DNA quantifies kidney allograft rejection non-invasively across histopathological spectra, with combined scoring optimizing detection of microvascular and antibody-mediated.
