De novo Renal Transplantation after Kaposi Sarcoma: Favorable Outcome in a Patient Receiving Sirolimus and Mycophenolate-Based Immunosuppression
Immunosuppressive treatment increases the risk of infection and malignancy in organ transplant recipients. We report on a 42-year-old male renal transplant recipient who lost his first graft after reduction of immunosuppressive treatment due to Kaposi sarcoma and who successfully underwent a second renal transplant 10 years later. The patient's current treatment consists of low-dose prednisone,...
متن کاملDisseminated invasive aspergillosis following cytomegalovirus encephalitis in a renal transplant recipient
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is common in renal transplant recipients and predisposes to secondary bacterial and fungal infections. Disseminated invasive aspergillosis is rare in those patients (0.5% of all infections), but has a mortality of almost 90%1. The authors present the case of a 65 year-old cadaveric renal transplant male recipient with a positive CMV IgG serology at the moment of re...
متن کاملBENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LOW DOSE CYCLOSPORINE WITH MMF (MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL) IN RENAL ALLOGRAFT RECIPIENTS
Background: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) have significantly reduced the incidence of acute rejection. Nephrotoxicity however may contribute to long-term allograft dysfunction. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may allow cyclosporine (CsA) dose reduction without increasing the risk of rejection. Methods: In seventy-eight living unrelated kidney transplant patients with renal dysfunction, we studi...

متن کاملRandomized trial of conversion from mycophenolate mofetil to azathioprine 6 months after renal allograft transplantation.
BACKGROUND In the first year after renal allograft transplantation, triple therapy immunosuppression with cyclosporin (CsA), prednisone (P), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is superior to a triple therapy treatment that includes azathioprine (AZA) instead of MMF. Whether long-term treatment with CsA-P-MMF is better than treatment with CsA-P-AZA is a matter of debate, as 3-year graft survival is...
