Minimal Proteinuria One Year after Transplant is a Risk Factor for Graft Survival in Kidney Transplantation
It is generally accepted that one-year post-transplant proteinuria over 0.5 gm per day has a negative impact on renal graft survival. In this study, the effects of minimal proteinuria less than 0.5 g/day were analyzed in 272 renal recipients who had survived for one year with a functioning graft. Recipients were classified by one-year post-transplant proteinuria: no proteinuria group (<0.2 g/da...
متن کاملGender differences in renal transplant graft survival.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE A long-term retrospective study was conducted to assess the risk factors of renal transplant graft failure focusing on the effects of gender of both the donor and the recipient. METHODS Medical records of primary renal transplantation performed in a single transplant hospital were reviewed. Cases of ABO incompatibility, positive cross-matches, or multiple organ transplants ...
متن کاملImproved Survival After Heart Failure: A Community‐Based Perspective
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a highly prevalent, morbid, and costly disease with a poor long-term prognosis. Evidence-based therapies utilized over the past 2 decades hold the promise of improved outcomes, yet few contemporary studies have examined survival trends in patients with acute heart failure. The primary objective of this population-based study was to describe trends in short- and long-...
متن کاملRituximab Is Indispensable for Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients Developing Post transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Abstract Rituximab, an anti-CD20 agent, has been suggested as an effective strategy to deal with post transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). In the current study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab therapy in heart transplant population developing PTLD. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed to gather the available data on lymphoproliferative disorders oc...
متن کاملSurvival in Southern European patients waitlisted for kidney transplant after graft failure: A competing risk analysis
BACKGROUND Whether patients waitlisted for a second transplant after failure of a previous kidney graft have higher mortality than transplant-näive waitlisted patients is uncertain. METHODS We assessed the relationship between a failed transplant and mortality in 3851 adult KT candidates, listed between 1984-2012, using a competing risk analysis in the total population and in a propensity sco...
