Effect of cold ischaemia time on outcome after living donor renal transplantation

Effect of cold ischaemia time on outcome after living donor renal transplantation.

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of cold ischaemia time (CIT) on living donor kidney transplant recipients in a large national data set. METHODS Data from the National Health Service Blood and Transplant and UK Renal Registry databases for all patients receiving a living donor kidney transplant in the UK between January 2001 and December 2014 were analysed....

Living-Related Donor Renal Transplantation

Background. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is an increasing problem in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has decreased the morbidity associated with HIV and has prompted renewed interest in renal transplantation. Methods. We performed four cases of deceased donor renal transplantation in HIV + recipients and th...

Effect of earlier-proteinuria on graft functions after one-year living donor renal transplantation

BACKGROUND Proteinuria is an indicator of subsequent renal function decline in most nephropathies and early proteinuria has been assumed to be a risk factor of poor kidney transplant outcomes. However, there is no information about the effect of earlier-proteinuria at the first week on short-term graft function after living donor renal transplantation. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of 43...

Adverse effect of donor arteriolosclerosis on graft outcome after renal transplantation.

INTRODUCTION In recent years less strict criteria for renal graft donors have been applied. Our study was designed to investigate whether the histological picture, with special reference to vascular changes of the donor kidney, has an effect on the development and level of graft function, and on 48-month graft survival. METHODS Three morphologically distinct groups were formed from 150 consec...
