BACKGROUND Cardiac disorders are very common in individuals with chronic kidney disease and are associated with morbimortality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate cardiac alterations after kidney transplantation. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 40 patients with chronic kidney disease, immediately before and one month, three months and six months after kidney transplantation, using tissue Doppler echo...

The vascular network is a major target of ischemia-reperfusion, but has been poorly investigated in renal transplantation. The aim of this study was to characterize the remodeling of the renal vascular network that follows ischemia-reperfusion along with the most highly affected cortex section in a preclinical renal transplantation model. There were two experimental groups. The first was a graf...

a 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. this procedure was performed in december 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. the first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. end-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimplanted...

Kidney transplantation is a definite treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, management of allograft dysfunction has remained major challenge and some patients return to dialysis after transplantation. Studies showed that peritoneal (PD) results in higher chance survival lower risk delayed compared hemodialysis (HD). For this reason, study explored the initiation PD six with Tabr...

Loss of hearing is a known problem in patients with chronic renal failure, occurring in 40-XO% of cases and being most often of the high frequency sensorineural type. We performed a study on 50 patients with this disease, including 20 who had undergone a successful kidney transplantation. Our results show an 80% incidence of hearing loss in these patients and a chance of improvement in at l...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide transplant physicians with a summary of the pathogenesis and diagnosis of adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) deficiency and primary hyperoxaluria and, focussed on kidney transplantation, and to discuss interventions aimed at preventing and treating the recurrence of crystalline nephropathy in renal transplant recipients. SOURCE OF INFORMATION Pubmed literat...

Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, as it substantially increases a patient's survival and is cost saving compared to a lifetime of dialysis. However, transplantation is not universally chosen by patients with renal failure, and limited knowledge about the survival benefit of transplantation vs. dialysis may play a role. We created a mobi...

Kidney transplant recipients are highly susceptible to infectious complications, as a result of chronic immunosuppressive therapy. Bacterial infections represent major threat graft function. This is descriptive study the clinical presentation, timeline occurrence, and microbiological profile bacterial after kidney transplantation.
