Renal Allograft Fracture

Renal allograft thrombosis.

Renal allograft thrombosis may be responsible for 2–7% of early allograft losses in adults [1] and up to 35% in children [2]. The North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study (NAPRTCS) reported that graft thrombosis represented the main cause of graft failure in the first year. Most cases of renal allograft thrombosis occur early in the postoperative period with a peak incidence ...

Chronic renal allograft dysfunction.

The major causes of renal transplant loss are death from vascular, malignant or infectious disease, and loss of the allograft from chronic renal dysfunction associated with the development of graft fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the histologic description of the fibrosis, vascular and glomerular damage occurring in renal allografts. Clinical programs rel...

microrna and renal allograft monitoring

Sonographic evaluation of renal allograft.

Sonography has become an integral part of the care of renal allograft recipients. It is a simple, inexpensive and readily available non-invasive imaging modality. It is indicated as the initial investigation in patients presenting with decreased urine output, pain, infection and hematuria and for doing a percutaneous allograft biopsy. While sonography confirms the diagnosis of obstructive nephr...

Extramedullary hematopoiesis in renal allograft

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH), defined as the presence of hematopoietic elements outside of the medullary cavity of bone, has been reported in patients with various hematopoietic neoplasms including myelofibrosis. EMH commonly occurs in the liver and spleen (resulting in hepatosplenomegaly) and uncommonly involves the kidney. EMH involving the allograft kidney has not been reported in Engl...
