mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection caused by the filamentous fungi of the mucorales order of the class of zygomycetes. mucormycosis is classically defined as an opportunistic fatal infection. in this report we explain a 49 years old woman with palato-orbital tract as a sequel of rhino cerebral mucormycosis and end stage renal disease candidate for kidney transplantation. difficulties in...

IMPORTANCE Risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in kidney donors has been compared with risk faced by the general population, but the general population represents an unscreened, high-risk comparator. A comparison to similarly screened healthy nondonors would more properly estimate the sequelae of kidney donation. OBJECTIVES To compare the risk of ESRD in kidney donors with that of a health...

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the principal causes of end-stage kidney disease in children worldwide (1-3). During the past decades, different genes mutations have been implicated in pathogenesis of resistant sporadic and hereditary familial forms of FSGS. Nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin 4 (ACTN4) are some of podocyte structural proteins that their role in pathogenesis of ...

The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. A vascular access makes life-saving haemodialysis treatments possible. The efficiency of haemodialysis treatment relies on a functional status of vascular access. The purpose of this review was to discuss the role of haemodialysis and vascular access in end stage kidney disease. Vascular access and its r...
