Hypercalcemia during renal replacement therapy after liver transplantation

Liberation From Renal Replacement Therapy After Cadaveric Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND Renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) is common in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and is associated with worse outcomes following liver transplantation (LT). We investigated the factors associated with liberation from posttransplant RRT and studied the impact of RRT on patient and graft outcomes. METHODS A 5-year retrospective study of ESLD patients ...

An epidemiologic study of early renal replacement therapy after orthotopic liver transplantation.

The preoperative impairment of renal function is associated with the need for postoperative renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients undergoing liver transplantation. The principal goal of this investigation was to identify other factors apparent before or during transplant that were independently associated with the need for RRT in the early posttransplant period. A total of 260 consecutive...

Predictors of renal function recovery among patients undergoing renal replacement therapy following orthotopic liver transplantation

Renal dysfunction frequently occurs during the periods preceding and following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), and in many cases, renal replacement therapy (RRT) is required. Information regarding the duration of RRT and the rate of kidney function recovery after OLT is crucial for transplant program management. We evaluated a sample of 155 stable patients undergoing post-intensive care...

Seizure disorders after renal Transplantation in children

Background and Objective: Some neurologic complications may be detected after renal transplantation in children including tremor, peripheral neuropathy, altered level of consciousness and seizure. The aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of seizure after renal transplantation and its risk factors in pediatric age groups. Methods: In this descriptive study, 102 patients 5-14 yea...
