Surgical Complications in Early Post-transplant Kidney Recipients

Evaluation of Nutrient Intake in Early Post Kidney Transplant Recipients

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the dietary intake of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and assess oral intake related nutrition problems. Fifty patients who had undergone kidney transplantation were included: 24 males, 26 females. The mean age was 46.8 ± 11.2 years, height was 161.3 ± 8.3 cm, and body weight was 60.5 ± 8.7 kg. We conducted nutrition education based on the diet guide...

Early post-transplant complications following ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation

BACKGROUND Living-kidney transplantation is increasing because of the scarcity of kidneys from deceased donors and the increasing numbers of patients on waiting lists for a kidney transplant. Living-kidney transplantation is now associated with increased long-term patient- and allograft-survival rates. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify, in a cohort of 44 ABO-i...

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Wound Healing Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus.

BACKGROUND De novo use of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors after kidney transplantation is associated with a concentration-dependent incidence of wound healing adverse events (WHAE). The objective of this analysis was to compare the incidence of WHAE in patients receiving everolimus (EVR) or mycophenolate sodium (MPS). METHODS This was a predefined subanalysis of a single-center prosp...

Incidence and risk factors of early surgical complications in young renal transplant recipients: A persistent challenge.

There is a paucity of data on the rate of urological and vascular complications in very young children after kidney transplant. We conducted a study on the incidence and risk factors for early post-transplant surgical complications in young recipients (<5 years) over three decades. The primary outcome was any urological or vascular complication within 30 days of transplant, and the secondary ou...
