J6 Renal artery stenosis in transplant recipients: Effect on graft survival

PREGNANCY IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

 ABSTRACT Background: Correction of the uremic state by a functioning allograft often restores fertility in women of reproductive age. The rate of fertility significantly differs between industrial countries, developing and middle east countries. On the other hand the results of pregnancy in Kidney Transplantation (KTP) patients are significantly better than hemodialysis patients, and pregnancy...

Effect of FTY720 (fingolimod) on graft survival in renal transplant recipients: a systematic review protocol

INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that FTY720 has inconsistent effects in kidney transplant recipients. Several review articles on FTY720 have been published, but most have focused on the mechanism of action of FTY720. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate and determine the beneficial and harmful effects of FTY720 therapy in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We electronically...

Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis

Renal transplant artery stenosis.

Renal transplant artery stenosis is a relatively frequent complication after transplantation, with an incidence of up to 23% being reported. The gold standard for the diagnosis still remains renal arteriography. Several imaging techniques are available to confirm the diagnosis (duplex-Doppler, nuclear magnetic resonance, spiral computerized tomography), and their use depends, in part, on the ce...

Coronary artery calcification in renal transplant recipients.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Although renal transplant recipients frequently undergo cardiac functional tests prior to surgery, coronary atherosclerosis can remain undetected. Coronary artery calcification (CAC), an early marker of atherosclerosis can be quantified using EBCT. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent and c...
