The role of kidney biopsy in heart transplant candidates with kidney disease.
Transplantation. 2010; (7): 887-93
Kidney disease is common in patients with advanced heart failure and can result from intrinsic parenchymal disease or to reversible hemodynamic factors. Distinguishing the two is difficult but is important when selecting patients who will benefit from combined heart and kidney transplantation (HKT) versus heart transplantation (OHT) alone. The goal of this study was to characterize kidney biopsy findings in this population and follow the outcome of patients based on the biopsy results.
