Cytopenia occurrence in kidney transplant recipients within early post-transplant period

Evaluation of Nutrient Intake in Early Post Kidney Transplant Recipients

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the dietary intake of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and assess oral intake related nutrition problems. Fifty patients who had undergone kidney transplantation were included: 24 males, 26 females. The mean age was 46.8 ± 11.2 years, height was 161.3 ± 8.3 cm, and body weight was 60.5 ± 8.7 kg. We conducted nutrition education based on the diet guide...

Black esophagus in the early kidney post-transplant period

A 65-year-old man with end-stage renal disease secondary to nephroangiosclerosis on hemodialysis was admitted to undergo a cadaveric kidney transplant. He had a previous history of moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis. Twenty-four hours after surgery, the patient developed an acute pulmonary oedema followed by cardiac arrest. Advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and aggressive fluid removal thr...

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Kaposi's sarcoma in the early post-transplant period in a kidney transplant recipient.

Nefrologia 2013;33(6):849-67 861 Dear Editor, The chronic use of immunosuppressive agents is associated with the long-term risk of a wide variety of malignancies, including Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), in renal transplant recipients compared with those of the general population. KS occurs after transplantation of 5 to 21 months and more commonly in males. The dose reduction or cessation of immunosupp...

Associations of pre-transplant anemia management with post-transplant delayed graft function in kidney transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND Delayed graft function (DGF) complicates kidney allograft outcomes in the immediate post-transplantation period. We hypothesized that in hemodialysis patients more severe anemia, iron deficiency, the requirement for higher doses of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA), or blood transfusions prior to transplantation are associated with higher risk of DGF. METHODS Linking five-yr ...
