Renal funtional reserve in kidney transplant recipients

Transpl Int. 1992:5 Suppl 1:S67-8. doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-77423-2_22.

Abstract

In the last few years different authors have observed that kidney transplant recipients with good organ function do not have a renal functional reserve (RFR). This condition is accompained by a high glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We studied RFR in patients with very good organ function under different immunosuppressive therapies, who were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of RFR.
