Chronic Kidney Disease Stage Progression in Liver Transplant Recipients

Chronic kidney disease stage progression in liver transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is little information on chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage progression rates and outcomes in liver transplant recipients. Identifying modifiable risk factors may help prevent CKD progression in liver transplant recipients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We performed a retrospective review of 1151 adult, deceased-donor, single-organ primary liver...

Immunonutrition in kidney and liver transplant recipients.

The immunonutrients arginine and omega-3 fatty acids decrease adverse outcomes after solid organ transplant in humans and experimental animals. Kidney transplant recipients who received daily supplements with arginine (9 g) and canola oil (30 mL) had significantly lower frequencies of complications between 30 days to 3 years than transplant recipients who did not receive supplements. In another...

Renal Function Improvement by Telbivudine in Liver Transplant Recipients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic renal failure is a frequent complication in liver transplantation. Telbivudine, anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleoside, can improve renal function. It is interesting if using telbivudine for prophylaxis of HBV recurrence has additional value on renal function improvement. 120 liver transplant recipients with lamivudine prophylaxis for HBV recurrence were 1 : 1 randomized into lamivudin...

Utility of Modeling End-Stage Liver Disease in Children with Chronic Liver Disease

Introduction: Chronic liver diseases consist of wide spectrum disorders that may be complicated by cirrhosis and therefore need to transplantation. The pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score and model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has been used as predictors of mortality chronic liver diseases listed for liver transplantation. The aim of this study is evaluation of relation be...
