BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with seroprevalence in adults, ranging from 60 to 100%. It is considered as usual cause of renal dysfunction after the allograft renal transplantation nephropathy. Potent immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation can lower the rate of acute rejection. Therefore, untreated BKV infections lead to kidney allograft dysfunction or loss. In order to estimate...

background and objective: some neurologic complications may be detected after renal transplantation in children including tremor, peripheral neuropathy, altered level of consciousness and seizure. the aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of seizure after renal transplantation and its risk factors in pediatric age groups. methods: in this descriptive study, 102 patients 5-14 year old in...

Introduction. The occurrence of the new-onset diabetes after kidney transplantation is common and represents a risk factor for decreased survival of the graft and the patient. Case presentations. We report 6 cases of diabetes appeared in post renal transplantation. Treatment after kidney transplantation was based on corticosteroids associated with immunosuppressive therapy in all cases. Diabete...

conclusions this nonrandomized comparison of stent types in kidney transplantation supports the use of prophylactic double-j stents in terms of decreased ureteric complications and reduced length of hospital stay. patients and methods a retrospective analysis was performed on data of renal transplantations performed at our institution in a 12-month period. in this period, external and double-j ...

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...

INTRODUCTION Breast adenoma is common. However, in the setting of post-transplantation immune suppression it may be expressed differently. CASE PRESENTATION A 35-year-old Sudanese woman, with a history of renal transplantation two and half years prior to presentation, was on a single immune suppression therapy in the form of cyclosporine-A since the transplantation. During a regular follow-up...

Background: The Presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. Objective: To study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...
