Kidney transplant failure: failing kidneys, failing care?
Kidney transplant failure is an important cause of dialysis initiation in the United States. In 2011, this group represented 4.7% of patients new to dialysis, a 30% increase in the number of patients initiating dialysis after transplant failure since 2000 (1). Improvements in short-term kidney allograft survival have surpassed improvements in long-term graft survival (2). Therefore, the transpl...
متن کاملTransplant Surgeons can Xenograft Kidneys from untreated Pigs without Rejection
essential for survival of virus infections, and protects, imperfectly, against autoimmune disease [4]. In a famous experiment Zinkernagel and Doherty [5] found that a cell infected by a virus extrudes a viral peptide on to its surface histocompatibility antigens, where it can be attacked by a complementary cytotoxic T cell clone, if one exists. As shown in Tables 1, the explosive speed of viral...
متن کاملDeterminants of discard of expanded criteria donor kidneys: impact of biopsy and machine perfusion.
We examined factors associated with expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidney discard. Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR)/Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data were examined for donor factors using logistic regression to determine the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of discard of kidneys recovered between October 1999 and June 2005. Logistic and Cox regression models w...
متن کاملWars, disasters and kidneys.
This paper summarizes the impact that wars had on the history of nephrology, both worldwide and in the Ghent Medical Faculty notably on the definition, research and clinical aspects of acute kidney injury. The paper briefly describes the role of 'trench nephritis' as observed both during World War I and II, supporting the hypothesis that many of the clinical cases could have been due to Hantavi...
متن کاملKidneys sans glomeruli.
The evolution of the vertebrate kidney records three occasions, each separated by about 50 million years, when fish have abandoned glomeruli to produce urine by tubular mechanisms. The recurring dismissal of glomeruli suggests a mechanism of aglomerular urine formation intrinsic to renal tubules. Indeed, the transepithelial secretion of organic solutes and of inorganic solutes such as sulfate, ...
