Anemia and iron deficiencies among long-term renal transplant recipients.
Iron deficiency anemia after renal transplantation has not been systematically investigated. The prevalence of anemia and the indicators of iron deficiency among 438 renal transplant recipients were examined. Anemia was present in 39.7% of the patients. The prevalence of iron deficiencies, as indicated by a percentage of hypochromic red blood cells (HRBC) of >or=2.5%, was 20.1%. The majority of...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes of elderly kidney transplant recipients.
INTRODUCTION The number of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease increases progressively, challenging the allocation algorithms in a scenario of organ shortage for transplantation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of age on patient and graft survival. METHODS Evolution of all 366 patients greater than 60 years transplanted between 1998 and 2010 was analyzed versus a control group of ...
متن کاملLong Term Immune Responses to Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1 Infection in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
In solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients it is unknown if natural infection with influenza confers protection from re-infection with the same strain during the next influenza season. The purpose of this study was to determine if infection with pandemic influenza A/H1N1 (pH1N1) resulted in a long-term immunologic response. Transplant recipients with microbiologically proven pH1N1 infection in ...
متن کاملLong-term Mortality in Adult Orthotopic Heart Transplant Recipients
Heart transplantation is now regarded as the treatment of choice for end-stage heart failure. To improve long-term results of the heart transplantation, we analyzed causes of death relative to time after transplantation. A total of 201 consecutive patients, 154 (76.6%) males, aged ≥ 17 yr underwent heart transplantation between November 1992 and December 2008. Mean ages of recipients and donors...
متن کاملExperience with immune monitoring in lung transplant recipients: correlation of low immune function with infection.
BACKGROUND Lung transplants, in particular, have the highest rate of infections among solid organ transplant recipients. However, there is no existing objective measure to predict the development of infections. We report the correlation between Cylex ImmuKnow (ng/mL ATP) values and various infectious syndromes in a large prospective cohort of lung transplant recipients. METHODS We followed up...
