Hyperlipidemia after Kidney Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyperilpidemia is common after renal transpiantation. In recent years, much progress has been made in understanding the causes and treatment of lipid abnormalities in renal transplant patients. Recently, short-term studies have shown that newer antilipemic agents appear to be safe and effective in freating hyperlipidemia in this population. Despite the absence of large, controlled clinical trials examining the effect of lipid-lowering strategies on cardiovascular disease and chronic renal allograft rejection, therapy appears to be warranted in renal transplant patients with an atherogenic lipid profile and multiple risk factors.

Re: Hyperlipidemia after kidney transplantation: long-term graft outcome.
Dear Editor, We read with interest the article by Raees-Jalali and colleagues1 recently published in the Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases, titled “Hyperlipidemia after kidney transplantation: long-term graft outcome.” They evaluated the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its relation with renal allograft function within 10 years of follow-up among 73 kidney transplant patients in a single cente...
متن کاملShould Post Kidney Transplantation Hyperlipidemia Considered a Risk Factor for Graft Function?
BACKGROUND Hyperlipidemia is a common problem after kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE To uncover the real impact of post kidney transplantation hyperlipidemia on graft function and survival, and to determine whether it is just a biochemical phenomenon after using immunosuppressant or a part of disease pathology. METHODS 330 kidney transplants were managed in Sina Hospital Kidney Transplanta...

متن کاملThe role of pretransplant smoking on allograft survival in kidney recipients.
PURPOSE Cigarette smoking contributes to a number of health-related problems, but its impact on allograft survival in kidney recipients is not clear. This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between smoking and graft survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 199 adult kidney recipients were enrolled in this study. All transplantations had been done in our center and all grafts h...
متن کاملThe Incidence and Cost of New Onset Hyperlipidemia Claims Among US Wait-Listed and Transplanted Renal Allograft Recipients
Background: Hyperlipidemia increases mortality and is common with kidney-disease. New-onset hyperlipidemia (NOHL) among patients wait-listed and after transplantation may impact costs and graft-survival of patients with kidney disease. Methods: Using the United States Renal Data System, we compared the costs to Medicare associated with or without NOHL in wait-listed patients in the second and f...
