OverviewAI-generated summary

Sushma Bhusal's research focuses on solid organ transplantation, with a particular emphasis on kidney and liver recipients. Her work investigates outcomes related to transplant procedures, including the impact of factors like prolonged cold ischemia time on kidney transplant success. Bhusal has also examined the effects of viral infections, such as COVID-19, on vaccinated and unvaccinated transplant recipients, utilizing propensity score matching to analyze historical data. Her publications explore various aspects of transplant care, including the utilization of donor kidneys within the context of a changing donor landscape and the management of specific post-transplant conditions like recurrent dense deposit disease. Bhusal collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Lyle Burdine, Allison Wells, and Mary Rude.
