Abstract Background: Renal transplantation (RT) is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease and has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. The knowledge of renal vascular variations is of a great importance for the surgeons who approach the kidneys from the retroperitoneal o...

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

background: renal ischemia reperfusion (ir), one of the most important causative mechanisms of acute kidney injury, is a major clinical problem that occurs in some hospitalized patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroxytyrosol (ht) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. methods: male mice were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 9): (1) sham operated, (2...

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement.

the relation between microchimerism and allograft tolerance is still a mystery. in this study we determined the presence of peripheral blood microchimerism (pbmc) in female renal transplant recipients from living male donors with second round polymerase chain reaction (pcr). second round pcr was used to find y chromocome products. the degree of pbmc in renal transplant recipinents must be below...
