Delayed graft function, allograft and patient srvival in kidney transplantation.
INTRODUCTION Delayed Graft Function (DGF) is a common complication of renal transplants and the long-term relation between DGF and survival of patients and grafts is not well established. METHODS This is a historical cohort study of transplanted patients in Taleghani Hospital of Shahid Beheshti University in Iran between 1994 and 2010. Patients who required dialysis during the first week afte...
متن کاملReliability of self-reported blood pressure measurements.
BACKGROUND Home blood pressure (BP) monitoring improves BP control, but it is unknown whether patients accurately report home BP readings to their physician. This study compared self-reported with electronically stored home BP and heart rate (HR) readings and evaluated this agreement in patients with controlled vs. uncontrolled hypertension. METHODS A single-blind, randomized clinical trial w...
متن کاملLaboratory Monitoring of Cyclosporine Pre-dose Concentration (C0) After Kidney Transplantation in Isfahan
Background: Cyclosporine is the main immunosuppressive agent used in organ transplantation which leads to considerable improvement in graft survival. The large inter- and intra- patient variability in cyclosporine pharmacokinetics coupled with the agent’s narrow therapeutic index and adverse effects necessitate therapeutic monitoring of cyclosporine blood levels. Objective: The aim of this stu...
متن کاملReliability of self-reported height and weight measurement in the evaluation of adult overweight and obesity
Introduction: The validity of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on self-reported height and weight is of critical importance in the proper assessment of studies that rely on questionnaire-derived data. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of adolescent overweight and obesity classification bpased on self-reported height and weight factors and propose a regression model for predicting the true BMI....
متن کاملAssociation of Frailty based on self-reported physical function with directly measured kidney function and mortality.
BACKGROUND Use of serum creatinine to estimate GFR may lead to underestimation of the association between self-reported frailty and kidney function. Our objectives were to evaluate the association of measured GFR (mGFR) with self-reported frailty among patients with CKD and to determine whether self-reported frailty was associated with death after adjusting for mGFR. METHODS Participants in t...
