Ultrasound-Derived Differential Renal Volume Indexed to Recipient Body Mass Index Predicts One-Year Kidney Graft Function: A Novel Surrogate of Graft-Recipient Size Matching.

Key takeaways

This study looked at kidney transplant patients. It found that the size of the new kidney, compared to the patient's body size, was linked to how well the kidney worked one year later. This shows a link, but it does not prove that size matching causes better function.
