Long-term follow-up of kidney donors: a longitudinal study.
BACKGROUND Kidney donors are not adversely affected by compensatory hyperfiltration of the remaining kidney in the early years after nephrectomy, but longterm longitudinal studies are lacking. METHODS The renal function and blood pressure of 75 donors was evaluated in 1984, 1.4-20.7 years after surgery. Forty-seven of the original cohort (23 male, age 38-80 years) underwent repeat study a dec...
متن کاملFollow-Up Visits in Doctor-Patient Communication: The Vietnamese Case
In a “follow-up visit”, a patient seeks medical attention for an existing health problem. Using data from the Vietnamese public hospital system, we present a more nuanced analysis of follow-ups in health communication than the one currently available. To be specific, we discriminate between “same follow-ups”, in which the doctor is the same one as in the last visit, and “different follow-ups”, ...
متن کاملLong-term (20-37 years) follow-up of living kidney donors.
Numerous studies with <20 years of follow-up have shown no significant long-term consequences of living kidney donation. However, hypertension and proteinuria have both been described; it is unknown whether either complication presages future kidney dysfunction. Between June 1, 1963, and December 31, 1979, we did 773 living donor kidney transplants for 715 recipients. We attempted to contact al...
متن کاملLong term effects of kidney donation on blood pressure and kidney function of donors
Introduction: Kidney transplantation from a live donor has many advantages, but the donor should undergo a major surgery and accept potential morbidity and mortality. In this study, we evaluated the long term effects of nephrectomy on renal function and blood pressure of kidney donors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 195 kidney donors. The controls were 100 healthy individu...
متن کاملSecond primary lung cancer: importance of long term follow up.
Review of histopathological and clinical data showed that 153 patients at one hospital developed a second primary lung cancer during 1980-6, 10% of all those with lung carcinoma. There were 64 synchronous tumours (interval less than one year) and 89 metachronous tumours (interval over one year). The average interval between metachronous tumours was 6.1 years. The criteria for diagnosing a secon...
