MP789EFFECT OF BODY WEIGHT CHANGES AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION ON GRAFT FUNCTION AND SURVIVAL

Impact of delayed graft function on renal function and graft survival in deceased kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVES To define the risk factors for delayed graft function and study the impact of such delays on renal function and long-term allograft survival in renal transplant recipients. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective study. SETTING Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Records of 118 Chinese renal transplant recipients from 1 July 1997 to 31 July 2005 were reviewed, and categorised int...

Effects of Aging on Kidney Graft Function, Oxidative Stress and Gene Expression after Kidney Transplantation

Conflicting results have been reported regarding the effects of donor age, recipient age and donor-recipient age difference on short- and long-term outcomes after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of recipient age on graft function, oxidative stress, and gene expression after renal transplantation. Fifty male Fischer 344 rats [25 young (Y, 4 months), 25 s...

Is HRQOL in dialysis associated with patient survival or graft function after kidney transplantation?

BACKGROUND Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is patient-reported, and an important treatment outcome for patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Whether HRQOL in dialysis can affect mortality or graft survival after renal transplantation (RTX) is not determined. The aims of the present study were to investigate whether pretransplant HRQOL is associated with post-RTX patient survival...
