چکیده

• An accurate assessment of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) should be undertaken in all potential donors. The benefit of obtaining a directly measured GFR (thought to be more accurate) over an estimated GFR, has not been proven in live donors (refer to CARI guidelines titled ‘Use of estimated glomerular filtration rate to assess level of kidney function’ and ‘Direct measurement of glomerular filtration rate’). • When the GFR is estimated it is recommended that this be on the basis of serum creatinine using, for example, the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula or the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD). Measurement of creatinine clearance calculated from a 24 h urine collection is also acceptable, if collected accurately. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be confirmed on at least two separate occasions. • If there is doubt regarding the GFR from estimated methods, further techniques can be used to assess or clarify this. Acceptable methods include a direct evaluation of the GFR by methods such as Cr-EDTA (nuclear GFR), iohexol or inulin clearance. • It is preferable not to accept kidneys from donors with GFR < 80 mL/min per 1.73 m.

Microchimerism and Renal Transplantation: Doubt Still Persists

Background: The Presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. Objective: To study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...

Long 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...

Effects of Chronic Administration of Different Doses of Nitrate on Renal Function in Female Rats

Introduction: As a nitric oxide (NO) donor, nitrate administration improves renal function in male animals. This study aims to determine the effects of chronic administration of different doses of nitrate on kidney function in normal adult female rats by measuring serum urea and creatinine and assessing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Materials and Method: Two-month old female ...

Liver Oxidative Stress after Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury is Leukocyte Dependent in Inbred Mice

Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...
