KIDNEY TRANSPLANT URODYNAMICS: NEUROPHYSIOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS

Kidney transplantation and large anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. Transplant management considerations.

AIM Pseudoaneurysm (PA) at the anastomosis site in kidney transplantation is a rare but serious complication that usually requires graft nephrectomy. Literature reports are sporadic and usually focused on limb rather than graft salvage. In this paper we focus on this last point. MATERIAL OF STUDY 6 patients presenting large PA at the anastomosis between iliac and graft artery were identified ...

Immunosuppressive Drugs and Kidney Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus

Background: As the rate of renal transplantation increases, more immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine A (CsA) are consumed, particularly during the early months following transplantation, leading to post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) which can cause death. Objective: The present study examined the role of CsA in causing PTDM and other effect...

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Murine Kidney Transplant Technique.

The first mouse kidney transplant technique was published in 1973(1) by the Russell laboratory. Although it took some years for other labs to become proficient in and utilize this technique, it is now widely used by many laboratories around the world. A significant refinement to the original technique using the donor aorta to form the arterial anastomosis instead of the renal artery was develop...

Periodontal treatment considerations for cell transplant and organ transplant patients.

Organ replacement has been prevalent in the mythology of medicine and surgery for several hundred years. An Indian legend from the 12th century BC recounts the powers of the Hindu god, Shiva, who transplanted the head of an elephant to his child, Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom and health (84). One of the major medical and scientific accomplishments in the latter half of the 20th century was th...
