Rituximab Is Indispensable for Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients Developing Post transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Abstract Rituximab, an anti-CD20 agent, has been suggested as an effective strategy to deal with post transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). In the current study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab therapy in heart transplant population developing PTLD. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed to gather the available data on lymphoproliferative disorders oc...
متن کاملL-arginine supplementation improves exercise capacity after a heart transplant.
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is associated with the decreased exercise capacity observed in heart-transplant (HTx) recipients. L-arginine supplementation (LAS) stimulates the nitric oxide (NO) pathway and restores endothelial function. OBJECTIVE We compared exercise capacity in healthy subjects and HTx patients and investigated whether chronic LAS might improve exercise capacity and NO/...
متن کاملExercise capacity in early and late adult heart transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)), heart rate (HR) reserve and HR recovery in early and late heart transplant recipients. Moreover, we also aimed to correlate peak VO(2) and HR reserve. METHODS Fivteen heart transplant recipients (8 early and 7 late), 8 ± 3 and 161 ± 58 months after transplantation, respectively, performed a cardiopulmonary exerci...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Pre- and Post-Transplant BAFF Levels in Kidney Transplant Recipients
It is well known that pre-transplant B cell activating factor (BAFF) levels are associated with the development of de novo anti-HLA antibodies and antibody mediated rejection post-transplant. However, the clinical significance of BAFF values at allograft rejection has not been determined. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of pre-transplant BAFF level as well as post-trans...
متن کاملAssociations of pre-transplant anemia management with post-transplant delayed graft function in kidney transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Delayed graft function (DGF) complicates kidney allograft outcomes in the immediate post-transplantation period. We hypothesized that in hemodialysis patients more severe anemia, iron deficiency, the requirement for higher doses of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA), or blood transfusions prior to transplantation are associated with higher risk of DGF. METHODS Linking five-yr ...
