Costs Of Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation In Living And Deceased Donor Recipients

Deceased donor neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and delayed graft function after kidney transplantation: a prospective study

INTRODUCTION Expanding the criteria for deceased organ donors increases the risk of delayed graft function (DGF) and complicates kidney transplant outcome. We studied whether donor neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a novel biomarker for acute kidney injury, could predict DGF after transplantation. METHODS We included 99 consecutive, deceased donors and their 176 kidney recipi...

Impact of delayed graft function on renal function and graft survival in deceased kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVES To define the risk factors for delayed graft function and study the impact of such delays on renal function and long-term allograft survival in renal transplant recipients. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective study. SETTING Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Records of 118 Chinese renal transplant recipients from 1 July 1997 to 31 July 2005 were reviewed, and categorised int...

[Vasculopathy in the kidney allograft at time of transplantation delays recovery of graft function after deceased-donor kidney transplantation].

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of donor and recipient characteristics on duration of delayed graft function (DGF) and 1-year serum creatinine (SCr), as a surrogate endpoint for allograft survival. METHODS We reviewed 120 first cadaver kidney transplants carried out consecutively at our center to examine the effect on 1-year SCr of the presence and duration of D...

does living donor hyperoxia have an impact on kidney graft function after transplantation?

conclusions oxygen therapy in the case group had no significant impact on protection from dgf. results forty living kidney transplantations including 17 cases and 23 controls were performed; female gender was more prevalent in recipients (n = 16, 40%). the mean age of recipients was 36.1 ± 12.4 (18-67) years old. dgf was detected in 2 (5.95%) individuals, from whom one was in the case group and...
