Delayed Graft Function
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication of renal transplantation. According to a clinical data analysis of 34,647 cases of cadaveric renal transplantation documented by the Renal Transplantation Registry of the United Network Sharing (UNOS), graft function did not recover instantly after transplantation and for ever in some cases; the 1-year rate of graft loss was up to 20% in cas...
متن کاملBuMPy road of delayed graft function.
DELAYED GRAFT FUNCTION (DGF) occurs in 20–30% of renal transplants and contributes significantly to the gradual loss of grafts through accelerated development of chronic allograft dysfunction. Members of the transforming growth factor(TGF) family are incriminated as the major driving force for developing fibrosis. In an issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, Simone and co...

متن کاملUrinary reflux to the non-functioning previous renal graft
Nuclear medicine imaging is routinely used for evaluation of perfusion and function of the transplanted kidneys. At present, the radiopharmaceutical of choice for this study in our center is Tc 99m-Ec. Complications of the kidney graft are demonstrable in the early and delayed images. One of these complications is vesicoureteral reflux to the graft or to the native kidneys. We present a 27 year...
متن کاملDeath with functioning graft in living donor kidney transplantation: analysis of risk factors.
BACKGROUND Death with a functioning graft (DWF) has been reported as a major cause of graft loss after renal transplantation. It has been reported to occur in 9-30%. METHODS From March 1976 to January 2002, a total of 1400 living donor renal transplants were performed in our center. Out of 257 reported deaths among our patients, 131 recipients died with functioning grafts after a mean period ...
