Pre-kidney-transplant blood transfusions do not improve transplantation outcome: a Dutch national study (2009)

Aalten, Jeroen, Bemelman, Frederike J., Claas, Frans H., Christiaans, Maarten H., De Fijter, Johan W., ...

Background. Female renal transplant candidates are prone to be sensitized by prior pregnancies, and undetected historical sensitization might decrease transplantation outcome. Hypothesis of our study...

Glucose metabolism before and after conversion from cyclosporine microemulsion to tacrolimus in stable renal recipients (2008)

Christiaans, Maarten H. L., Van Hooff, Johannes P.

Background. Tacrolimus is more diabetogenic than cyclosporine. However, this difference is only discernible in the first few months after renal transplantation. In randomized trials, investigating...

Nonadherence with immunosuppressive drugs: U.S. compared with European kidney transplant recipients (2006)

Desmyttere, A, Young, Jim, Siegal, Bonita, ...

BACKGROUND: System factors increasingly are suggested as important yet understudied correlates of nonadherence. OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between healthcare system and prevalence of...

Minimization of immunosuppressive therapy after renal transplantation: results of a randomized controlled trial (2005)

Van Hooff, Johannes P, Squifflet, Jean-Paul, Salmela, Kaija, Rigotti, Paolo, Jindal, Rahul M, ...

Modern immunosuppressive regimens reduce the acute rejection rate by combining a cornerstone immunosuppressant like tacrolimus or cyclosporine with adjunctive agents like corticosteroids,...

The construct and concurrent validity of the EQ-5D in a renal transplant population (2004)

Van Hooff, Johannes P, Squifflet, Jean-Paul, ...

OBJECTIVES: Cost-utility analysis in renal transplant populations requires the use of a generic instrument for health status measurement that generates a single value for health. Such instruments...

The effects of FK778 in combination with tacrolimus and steroids: a phase II multicenter study in renal transplant patients (2004)

Van Hooff, Johannes P, Klinger, Marian, Wlodarczyk, Zbigniew, Squifflet, Jean-Paul, Mourad, Georges, ...

BACKGROUND: In animal and in vitro models, FK778 inhibits acute rejection, modifies vasculopathy, and shows anti-viral activity. We report first efficacy and safety data of FK778 in human kidney...

Health-related quality of life and symptom experience in tacrolimus-based regimens after renal transplantation: a multicentre study (2003)

Van Hooff, Johannes P, Squifflet, Jean-Paul, Margodt, Dave, Mullens, Monique, ...

Tacrolimus is increasingly used as a baseline immunosuppressant after renal transplantation. This multicentre study assessed health-related quality of life and symptom experience in renal transplant...

Effect of closure of the arteriovenous fistula on left ventricular dimensions in renal transplant patients (2001)

Cheriex, Emile C. M., Tordoir, Jan H. M., Kooman, Jeroen P., Van Hooff, Johannes P.

Background. Left ventricular hypertrophy is common in renal transplant patients. One of the factors that might contribute to this phenomenon is the persisting presence of an arteriovenous...

Diagnostic Value of Monitoring Human Cytomegalovirus Late pp67 mRNA Expression in Renal-Allograft Recipients by Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification

Blok, Marinus J., Goossens, Valere J., Vanherle, Sabina J. V., Top, Bert, Tacken, Nicole, Middeldorp, Jaap M., ...

The diagnostic value of monitoring human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) late pp67 mRNA expression by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) after renal-allograft transplantation was evaluated....
