Kidney transplantation outcomes in patients with IgA nephropathy and other glomerular and non-glomerular primary diseases in the new era of immunosuppression.

<h4>Objectives</h4>Kidney transplant (KTx) recipients with IgAN as primary disease, were compared with recipients with other causes of renal failure, in terms of long-term outcomes.<h4>Methods</h4>Ninety-nine KTx recipients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) due to IgAN, we...
