Procalcitonin, a donor-specific predictor of early graft failure-related mortality after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND To date, donor-specific markers to predict outcome after heart transplantation (HTx) are unknown. Increased procalcitonin (PCT) levels have been found in infectious inflammation with systemic reactions and/or poor organ perfusion but have not been studied in heart donors. We evaluated PCT as a predictor of early graft failure-related mortality after HTx. METHODS AND RESULTS PCT and...

After declamping, two small patches of bluish discoloration Although the efficacy of cyclosporin (CsA) as an of the graft were noted, which did not increase and immunosuppressant is undisputed, the problem of there was adequate diuresis. One hour after the ananephrotoxicity conti...
متن کاملBiomarkers of cellular apoptosis and necrosis in donor myocardium are not predictive of primary graft dysfunction.
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a life-threatening complication among heart transplant recipients and a major cause of early mortality. Although the pathogenesis of PGD is still unclear, ischemia/reperfusion injury has been identified as a predominant factor. Both necrosis and apoptosis contribute to the loss of cardiomyocytes during ischemia/reperfusion injury, and this loss of cells can ul...
متن کاملExpression profiling of human donor lungs to understand primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation.
Lung transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage pulmonary diseases. A limited donor supply has resulted in 4,000 patients on the waiting list. Currently, 10-20% of donor organs offered for transplantation are deemed suitable under the selection criteria, of which 15-25% fail due to primary graft dysfunction (PGD). This has spawned efforts to re-examine the current selection criter...
متن کامل[Donor/recipient age index (DoRAIn) as an independent predictor of long-term living-donor renal graft function].
PROBLEM The effect of donor/recipient age disparity on living-donor renal graft function is controversial. The objective of this study is to find new clinical predictors of renal graft function and evaluate the effect of donor/recipient age disparity in our series. METHODS A retrospective review of our institutional renal transplantation database was performed. We calculated the glomerular fi...
