Rapid Resolution of Proteinuria of Native Kidney Origin Following Live Donor Renal Transplantation

Rapid resolution of proteinuria of native kidney origin following live donor renal transplantation.

To assess the contribution of the protein content of urine from the native kidneys to post-transplant proteinuria, we prospectively studied 14 live donor transplant recipients with a pre-transplant random urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPr:Cr) >0.5. Seven patients received preemptive transplants, and seven patients were on dialysis pre-transplant (with residual urine output). Resolution of ...

Current status of live-donor renal transplantation

impact of donor source on the outcome of live donor kidney transplantation: a single center experience

patients and methods from march 1976 to december 2013, the number of patients that underwent living renal transplantation sharing at least one hla haplotype with their donors was 2,485. we divided these patients into two groups: (1) 2,075 kidney transplant recipients (1,554 or 74.9% male and 521 or 25.1% female) for whom the donors were living related, (2) 410 kidney transplant recipients (297 ...

Proteinuria after Kidney Transplantation

Proteinuria is a significant complication affecting renal transplant recipients. It is linked to cardiovascular events, a premature death and graft loss. The prevalence of proteinuria is close to 40% of renal transplant recipients per year. The causes of proteinuria are multiple: glomerular disease, anti-HLA class II antibodies, various medications and tubulointerstitial disease of the graft. I...

A Case of Native Cytomegalovirus Pancreatitis Following Deceased-Donor Renal Transplantation

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a known cause of pancreatitis in immunocompromised patients, usually in association with the human immunodeficiency virus [1]. A handful of cases have been reported of CMV pancreatitis occurring in a transplanted pancreas secondary to immunosuppression associated with organ transplantation. Herein, we report a rare case of CMV pancreatitis following deceased-donor renal...
