Effect of kidney transplantation on cardiac morphology and function.
Cardiac involvement is very frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. Kidney transplantation results in reducing morbidity and mortality compared to patients on dialysis. The objective of this review was to address the effect of renal transplantation in cardiac structure and function assessed by echocardiography. Since the 1980s, studies have demonstrated a trend towards imp...
متن کاملMonitoring and management of right ventricular function following cardiac transplantation
In cardiac transplantation postoperative right ventricular dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Recipients with pulmonary hypertension due to end-stage heart failure and a donor heart, fragile because of ischemia-reperfusion injury, and not previously adapted to an elevated pulmonary resistance are the causes of right ventricular dysfunction, that unless aggressively treated...
متن کاملAssessment of Risk Factors for Hospital Readmission after Kidney Transplantation
Background and Purpose: Hospital readmission after kidney transplantation is a real challenge for both patients and healthcare systems. Assessment of the risk factors of readmission after kidney transplantation is vital and can reduce morbidity and cost in transplant recipients and donors. The aim of the current study was to determine the risk factors of hospital readmission in patients undergo...
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk assessment in children following kidney transplantation.
CV diseases are the leading cause of death among patients with ESRD. RTX decreases the CV risk; however, it still remains definitely higher than that of the general population. Large multicenter and longitudinal studies are difficult to perform and hard end-points of CV events are usually missing among pediatric population. Thus, appropriate estimation of CV risk is of crucial importance to def...
