Stellingen behorende bij het proefschrift:
Early Monitoring Strategies in
Kidney Transplant Recipients
1. Empiric dose adjustments three months post pancreas-kidney
transplan-tation in the absence of steroids carry a significant risk for rejection.
This thesis
2. Long term renal function is determined by the quality of the transplanted
donor kidney and adequate treatment of early acute rejection episodes, not by delayed graft function. This thesis
3. Shortly after kidney transplantation, urinary biomarkers should be
cor-rected for urinary osmolality. This thesis
4. TIMP-2/mOsm is the most promising biomarker to predict delayed graft
function and duration of delayed graft function. This thesis
5. The graded impact of the Kidney Donor Risk Index on graft outcome
makes it a useful decision-making tool at the time of the deceased donor kidney offer. Rao PS, et al. Transplantation. 2009;88(2):231-236.
6. The key issue at hand is determining the relationship between any given
measurable biomarker and relevant clinical endpoints.
Strimbu K et al. Curr Opin HIV AIDS. 2010;5(6):463-466
7. Robust validation studies and assay standardization are required before
biomarkers can be used in patient care.
Lo DJ, et al. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2014;10(4):215-225.
8. Let us not throw out our dirty water until we get in fresh. Van Loon E, et al. Transplantation. 2019;103(5):870-872
9. Er is slechts één weg naar geluk en dat is op te houden met je zorgen
maken over dingen waar je geen invloed op hebt. Als iets je frustreert of
irriteert, bedenk dan of je hier zelf iets aan kan veranderen. Epictetus, 50-130
10. D’r gaat veel meer boven m’n pet dan eronder. De waarom-fase bij peuters is
iets wat we de rest van ons leven moeten vasthouden. Toon Hermans, 1997
