background chronic renal failure is an important and common complication of diabetes mellitus; hence, renal transplantation is a frequent and the acceptable treatment in patients with diabetic nephropathy requiring renal replacement therapy. on the other hand, renal transplantation and its conventional treatment can lead to increased diabetes outbreak in normoglycemic recipients. also, uncontro...

background : the pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (uti) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation.  often recurrent utis will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death.  the study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent utis in the context of renal transplantation, what ...

two hundred cases of renal transplantation from living donors are reported from shahid hashemi nejad medical'center in iran. there were 127 male and 73 female patients with 67% in the third and fourth decade of life. all patients received grafts from living donors with 1 14 cases of hla haploidentical, 55 cases of hla identical matches and 24 unrelated donors. one year patient and graft su...

polyoma virus nephropathy occurs in 3% to 4% of renal transplant recipients, causing graft loss in 50% of cases. the objective of the present study was to explore the effects of age, sex, post-transplantation period and plasma creatinine levels on the polyoma virus infection in kidney transplanted patients. urine samples were collected from 362 patients, centrifuged and microscopic slides prepa...

Background: Nowadays the main problem in transplantation is the complexity of host immune system protection against the immunological and destructive reactions of the transplanted organ. High serum level of the immunosuppressive drug may cause toxicity and low serum level leads to the rejection of the transplanted organ. Cyclosporine has been known as the most effective immunosuppressive drug. ...

Background: Hepatitis B virus potentially accelerates graft rejection and mortality in renal transplantation population. Vaccination of graft candidates without prior immunization against HBV seems essential before transplantation but some candidates of transplantation have not received HBV vaccine at the time of receiving graft. We aimed to evaluate immunogenicity of ...

Renal transplantation is generally accepted to be the best treatment for patients with end‐stage renal disease, which is associated with better quality of life and better life expectancy compared with dialysis. Although the allograft survival following renal transplantation continues to improve, the absolute number of patients suffering from allograft loss continues to grow due to the increasin...

BACKGROUND There is a lack of surgeons in the field of renal transplantation, with a predicted shortage of over 20 consultants by the year 2005. Early positive exposure to the field, commencing at undergraduate level, has been identified as being vital to improving rates of recruitment. This study was performed to assess the exposure of undergraduates to the field of renal transplantation durin...

propose: to evaluate patients with renal transplantation for abnormal ocular findings and to determine the association of these findings with pretreatment dialysis duration, immunosuppressive regimen and underlying disease causing renal failure. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 150 patients who had undergone kidney transplantation for at least three months and with serum cre...
