INTRODUCTION Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), autoantibodies directed against phospholipid-binding proteins are associated with cause vascular thrombosis. Patients with APS requiring renal transplantation are at risk of early graft loss due to arterial or venous thrombosis, or thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Here, we report 3 cases of successful renal transplantation in patients with APS. C...

ureteral obstruction is relatively common after renal transplantation. a rare cause is the inguinal herniation of the transplant ureter. we report a case of late allograft renal transplant failure due to ureteral herniation as well as ureterovesical junction stenosis.

HCV infection remains prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.1 The frequency of chronic HCV infection among renal transplant recipients is influenced by various factors, including blood transfusion, history of previous transplantation, type and duration of renal replacement therapy.2 Liver biopsy is essential in the evaluation of liver disease in kidney transplant recipients because...

The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing and patients receiving renal replacement therapy including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or renal transplantation will comprise an enlarging segment of the dental patient population. Renal replacement therapy can affect periodontal tissues including gingival hyperplasia in immune suppressed renal transplantation patients and incr...

Infection is quite common in patients with CKD. Hemodialysis necessitates repeated access to the vascular system via an intravenous catheter or a permanent arterio-venous (AV) fistula, resulting frequent episodes of bacteremia (1). Peritoneal dialysis requires placement into peritoneal cavity, and kidney transplantation involves lifelong immunosuppressive therapy; thus, all renal replacement ar...

Background Chronic allograft nephropathy(CAN)  is one of the most common causes of chronic and end stage renal disease. It  is defined with Mainly tubular atrophy and  interstitial fibrosis and no evidence of any other etiology, or functional disorder that caused at least three months after transplantation . Control of risk factors (HTN,DM,HLP, …) and limiting  usage of calcineurin inhibitors...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem worldwide, with increasing incidence and prevalence. While the of CKD in children relatively low, contributes to problems has many long-term effects.1 characterized by gradual decline function over time. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) report defined as an abnormality renal structure or decreased glomerular filtration r...
