We present a case of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in monozygotic twins with excellent donor and recipient outcome 11 years after transplantation. The recipient developed IgAN at 26 years and progressed to end-stage renal failure 10 years later. His identical twin who had hypertension, intermittent microscopic haematuria and positive IgA immunofluorescence on biopsy became his donor. Eleven years following transplant, in the absence of immunosuppression, the recipient has stable graft function [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 47 mL/min/1.73 m(2), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)], controlled hypertension on two medications and minor microscopic haematuria. The donor has good renal function (eGFR 51 mL/min/1.73 m(2), MDRD), controlled hypertension on one medication and normal urine.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 September 2018.
All research outputs
#4,777,721
of 23,510,717 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Kidney Journal
#743
of 1,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,341
of 161,749 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Kidney Journal
#9
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,510,717 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,792 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 161,749 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
