POS-710 KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS WITH A PRETRANSPLANTATION CANCER HISTORY

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Cancer incidence among Canadian kidney transplant recipients.

A number of studies have observed increased cancer incidence rates among individuals who have received renal transplants. Generally, however, these studies have been limited by relatively small sample sizes, short follow-up intervals or focused on only one cancer site. We conducted a nationwide population-based study of 11,155 patients who underwent kidney transplantation between 1981 and 1998....

Renal Cancer in Recipients of Kidney Transplant

The aim of our study is to determine characteristics and outcomes of kidney cancer in renal transplant recipients. MEDLINE® database was searched in June 2015 to identify cases of kidney cancer in renal transplant recipients. We include also a new case. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. Forty-eight (48) recipients reported in 25 papers met the eligibility criteria. The median age w...

Cataract in kidney transplant recipients.

The relationship between the administrated dose of steroid and the grade of cataract was studied in 22 kidney transplant recipients maintaining a good graft function for more than one year. Posterior subcapsular cataract was observed in 19 patients, of whom seven showed severe cataract accompanied by visual disturbance. The total dose of steroid, particularly the dose in the period from three m...

Pretransplantation cellular alloreactivity is predictive of acute graft rejection and 1-year graft function in kidney transplant recipients.

OBJECTIVE To study cellular alloimmunity in kidney allograft recipients using an interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay (ELISPOT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Donor splenocyte peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained during kidney recovery in 53 kidney recipients including 11 with positive panel-reactive antibodies pretransplantation. For ELISPOT data analysis, the spot numb...
