Serum osteoprotegerin levels associated with the aortic augmentation index in renal transplant recipients
OBJECTIVES Arterial stiffness is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent studies found that osteoprotegerin (OPG) is associated with arterial stiffness and may reflect endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between fasting serum OPG levels and the aortic augmentation index (AIx) in renal transplant reci...
متن کاملPREGNANCY IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
ABSTRACT Background: Correction of the uremic state by a functioning allograft often restores fertility in women of reproductive age. The rate of fertility significantly differs between industrial countries, developing and middle east countries. On the other hand the results of pregnancy in Kidney Transplantation (KTP) patients are significantly better than hemodialysis patients, and pregnancy...
متن کاملBone marrow augmentation in renal transplant recipients.
THE goal of tolerance induction, although achievable in pre-clinical models, is not yet a clinical reality. One of the most important areas of experimental research in thc field of tolerance induction has been the administration of donor-specific bone marrow in conjunction with whole organ transplantation. The same strategy has been tested in several clinical trials; all have included chronic i...
متن کاملDetermining an accurate method to estimate GFR in renal transplant recipients with stable serum creatinine levels
Introduction:Detecting renal allograft dysfunction early will allow timely diagnosis and treatment. There is no objective recommendation by national kidney societies for glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) estimation in post-transplant setting. 99mTc-DTPA Technetium-99m Diethylene triamine penta acetic acid) renogram can identify early renal dysfunction much before ser...
متن کاملAbdominal aortic aneurysmectomy in renal transplant recipients
An increasing number of patients with kidney transplants are found to develop abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the post-transplant period. Aortic surgery in these patients places the pelvic allograft at risk for ischaemic damage. We report successful repair of two AAA in renal transplant recipients using cold graft perfusion and local hypothermia to protect the renal allograft during aortic c...
