Post-transplant hyperlipidaemia.
نویسنده
چکیده
The correction of post-transplant hyperlipidaemia warrants the judicious and timely use of pharmacological agents with dietary modification and exercise. Reduction in hyperlipidaemia may have some role in decreasing the incidence of chronic rejection of allografts. The awareness that the morbidity and mortality of atherosclerotic disease may be lowered by active intervention will result in a better quality of life for transplant recipients.

Role of anaemia in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in transplant patients.
Cardiovascular complications are a major cause of morbidity and the leading cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Multiple cardiovascular risk factors are often present before transplantation. Prior ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease predict post-transplantation mortality, as do older age, diabetes mellitus, smoking and length of time o...

METHODS A total of 1617 consecutive kidney and 16 kidney-pancreas recipients transplanted between 1995 and 2005 were analysed in this retrospective single-centre study. Risk factors for C...

متن کاملImproving long-term renal transplant outcomes with tacrolimus: speculation vs evidence.
Achieving long-term graft survival and optimal patient health are ultimate clinical goals in renal transplantation. Many factors negatively impact long-term transplant outcomes, including graft rejection, renal dysfunction and increased cardiovascular burden. Additionally, glucose metabolism disturbance, also a cardiovascular risk factor, influences morbidity and mortality. As such, careful con...
متن کاملPostnuclear disaster evacuation and chronic health in adults in Fukushima, Japan: a long-term retrospective analysis
OBJECTIVE Japan's 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant incident required the evacuation of over a million people, creating a large displaced population with potentially increased vulnerability in terms of chronic health conditions. We assessed the long-term impact of evacuation on diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. PARTICIPANTS We considered participants in annual public health...
