POS-708 DONOR & RECIPIENT PREDICTORS OF THREE YEARS RENAL TRANSPLANT OUTCOMES

Unusual manifestation of cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a renal transplant recipient

Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...

Effect of kidney donor hepatitis C virus serostatus on renal transplant recipient and allograft outcomes

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in dialysis patients and renal transplant recipients and has been associated with diminished patient and allograft survival. HCV-positive (HCV+) kidneys have been used in HCV-positive (HCV+) recipients as a means of facilitating transplantation and expanding the organ donor pool; however, the effect of donor HCV serostatus in the modern era...

Imaging in renal transplantation: from donor assessment to evaluation of the kidney transplant recipient

The occurrence of primary hepatic adenoma in deceased donor renal transplant recipient.

MAIN FINDINGS We reported a case of new-onset, multi-focal hepatic adenoma in an 18 year-old man with no classic risk factors occurring forty months after a renal transplant from a cadaver donor. Histopathology of the adenoma was examined and genotype and phenotype were also analyzed. Histopathologic examination of the adenoma showed no malignancy. Genotype and phenotype analysis revealed no HN...

Opportunistic infections in a renal transplant recipient

With the present progress in transplantation procedures, there is an improvement in patient and allograft survival. However, the immunosuppression necessary to sustain the allograft predisposes these transplant recipients to infection, which is now a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of a 30-year-old renal transplant recipient with two opportunistic infections, na...
