Renal Function in Kidney and Liver Transplant Recipients After A 130-km Road Cycling Race

BACKGROUND A few patients, after receiving solid organ transplantation, return to performing various sports and competitions; however, at present, data no study had evaluated the effects of endurance cycling races on their renal function. METHODS Race times and short form (36) health survey questionnaires of 10 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and 8 liver transplant recipients (LTR) transpl...

PREGNANCY IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

 ABSTRACT Background: Correction of the uremic state by a functioning allograft often restores fertility in women of reproductive age. The rate of fertility significantly differs between industrial countries, developing and middle east countries.

Cystatin C and renal function in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

In clinical practice, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is often determined with serum creatinine. However, studies have shown cystatin C to be a better parameter for the diagnosis of impaired renal function. We compared GFR estimated by plasma cystatin C with GFR estimated by serum creatinine in a sample of 50 pediatric renal transplant recipients and 24 healthy children. The correlation be...

Immunonutrition in kidney and liver transplant recipients.

The immunonutrients arginine and omega-3 fatty acids decrease adverse outcomes after solid organ transplant in humans and experimental animals. Kidney transplant recipients who received daily supplements with arginine (9 g) and canola oil (30 mL) had significantly lower frequencies of complications between 30 days to 3 years than transplant recipients who did not receive supplements. In another...
