Right atrial thrombus formation is a known mechanical complication of central venous catheter insertion, with an incidence of between 1.9% and 42%. There is an increased risk of thromboembolism following renal transplantation. However, a right atrial thrombosis is rarely reported in renal transplant recipients. Here, we report two cases of renal transplant recipients in whom a right atrial thro...

HIV infection was previously an absolute contraindication to renal transplantation. However, with the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), renal transplantation using HIV-negative donor kidneys has successfully been employed for HIV-infected patients with end-stage renal failure. In resource-limited countries, places on dialysis programmes are severely restricted; HIV-infecte...

After the implosion of the Soviet Empire, renal replacement therapy in Central and Eastern Europe has undergone dramatic transformation and improvement with respect to quantity and quality. While the prevalence (ie, the number of patients on renal replacement therapy) is still lower than in Western Europe, the incidence (ie, the number of patients accepted for renal replacement therapy) has by ...

Familial juvenile nephronophtisis, an autosomal recessive tubulointerstitial chronic nephritis, is characterized by progressive renal disease and end stage renal failure, which require kidney transplantation. Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) incidence after kidney transplantation varies from 4-25%. Obesity, positive oral glucose tolerance test, metabolic syndromes, and post-transplantat...

INTRODUCTION Five nucleos(t)ide analogs are used to treat chronic hepatitis B. Ideal nucleos(t)ide analog therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with kidney transplantation must ensure virological suppression and minimize renal injury. However, resistance to nucleos(t)ide analogs frequently results in virological breakthrough, hepatitis flare, and complicated deterioration of the transplanted ...

Hepatitis C virus, which usually starts during dialysis therapy, is currently the main cause of chronic liver disease in such population. The majority of patients acquired the disease through intravenous drug use or blood transfusion, with some risk factors identified. In this review we are dealing with the effect of renal transplantation on HCV infection and HCV-related complications after ren...

renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly increases in renal transplant recipients. we analyzed nine cases of malignancy in 200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in imam hospital of tehran university, tehran, iran. according to this study, the organ mos...

Kidny transplantation is often accompanied by psychological problems. Alteration in the body image is one of these problems.Body image is defined as one,s perception of this physical status which disturbed  by alerted body structure, function or appearance. In this respect , this study was done to compare the body image of Donors and recipients of renal transplantation before and after the tran...

Many patients presenting for urological surgery have chronic renal disease (CRD). They have unique pathophysiology relating to both CRD and its underlying cause and therefore present a challenge to surgeons and anaesthetists. Considerable advances in renal replacement therapy (RRT) and renal transplantation mean that a greater number of these patients are presenting for anaesthesia to assist va...
