Is warm ischemia not a risk factor for delayed graft function in a living-donor kidney transplant?

Warm ischemia is not a risk factor for delayed graft function in a living-donor kidney transplant.

Effect of Hypertonic Saline 5% on Early Graft Function and Urinary Interleukin 18 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplantation

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main causes of delay graft function (DGF) in deceased-donor kidney transplantation (DDKT). Evidences suggest that hypertonic saline (HS) has beneficial effects on IRI. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of intraoperative HS, on graft function and urinary biomarkers of interleukin 18 (IL-18) and neutrophil gelatinase-asso...

Predictive Values of Urinary Interleukin 18 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Delayed Graft Function Diagnosis in Kidney Transplantation

Background: Delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. Difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. We investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophi...

عملکرد تاخیری گرافت و عوامل خطر مرتبط با آن در مرکز پیوند کلیه بیمارستان امام خمینی ارومیه

Background & Aims: Delayed graft function (DGF) is an important challenge in the field of kidney transplantation. Occurrence of DGF is associated with low 1st-and 5thyear graft survival rate. Reducing the incidence of DGF minimizes financial burden on the health care system and improves the quality of life for organ recipients. Although over 2000 transplantations have been performed in Imam Kha...
