BK Viremia among Iranian Renal Transplant Candidates
Background: Primary infection with BK virus (BKV) is occurred during childhood and usually asymptomatic, but after initial infection, BKV may persist lifelong in the kidney and genitourinary tract. Reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. Due to the role of BKV in BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and po...
متن کاملHistopathologic evaluation of Verrucous skin lesions in renal transplant recipients
Background: Warts are common in renal allograft recipients (RAR) with reported incidence of 24% to 100%. These patients also demonstrate an accelerated malignant transformation of warts. Although in immunocompetent patients, the histology of common warts is quite predictable, this is not so in RAR. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathologic findings of warty lesion...
متن کاملCoronary angiography is the best predictor of events in renal transplant candidates compared with noninvasive testing.
Guidelines for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and assess of risk in renal transplant candidates are based on the results of noninvasive testing, according to data originated in the nonuremic population. We evaluated prospectively the accuracy of 2 noninvasive tests and risk stratification in detecting CAD (>or=70% obstruction) and assessing cardiac risk by using coronary angiogr...
متن کاملStress imaging in renal transplant candidates.
Stress Imaging in Renal Transplant Candidates To the Editor: I read with interest the recent paper published by De Lima et al.1 A recent meta-analysis by Rabbat et al2 casts doubt on one conclusion of De Lima et al, as Rabbat et al found that noninvasive stress imaging was predictive of acute myocardial infarction and cardiac death in renal transplant candidates. De Lima et al’s findings regard...
متن کاملManagement of allosensitized cardiac transplant candidates.
Cardiac transplantation remains the best treatment in patients with advanced heart failure with a high risk of death. However, an inadequate supply of donor hearts decreases the likelihood of transplantation for many patients. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are being increasingly used as a bridge to transplantation in patients who may not survive long enough to receive a heart. This expansio...
