Does size matter? Kidney transplant donor size determines kidney function among living donors
BACKGROUND Kidney donor outcomes are gaining attention, particularly as donor eligibility criteria continue to expand. Kidney size, a useful predictor of recipient kidney function, also likely correlates with donor outcomes. Although donor evaluation includes donor kidney size measurements, the association between kidney size and outcomes are poorly defined. METHODS We examined the relationsh...
متن کاملCompliance with recommended life style behaviors in kidney transplant recipients: does it matter in living donor kidney transplant?
INTRODUCTION Lifestyle after transplantation is the key link between transplantation and its outcome, and it is crucial to comply with the recommended life style behaviors. Our aim was to assess the compliance of kidney transplant recipients to the recommended life style behaviors in Mansoura, Egypt. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred kidney transplant patients were surveyed on their complianc...
متن کاملPhosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling determines kidney size.
Kidney size adaptively increases as mammals grow and in response to the loss of 1 kidney. It is not clear how kidneys size themselves or if the processes that adapt kidney mass to lean body mass also mediate renal hypertrophy following unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). Here, we demonstrated that mice harboring a proximal tubule-specific deletion of Pten (Pten(ptKO)) have greatly enlarged kidneys as...
متن کاملdoes 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...
متن کاملCigarette smoking in living kidney donors: donor and recipient outcomes.
BACKGROUND Living kidney donor pools are expanding with the use of "medically complex" donors. Whether or not to include cigarette smokers as living kidney donors remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between donor smoking and recipient outcomes. We hypothesized that donor smoking would increase donor complications and decrease allograft and recipient survival...
