Renal relevant radiology: imaging in kidney transplantation.
Kidney transplantation can be associated with various complications that vary from vascular complications to urologic disorders to immunologic adverse effects. In evaluating the recipient with graft dysfunction, clinicians can choose among several imaging modalities, including ultrasonography, nuclear medicine studies, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This review discusses t...
متن کاملRenal Dysfunction and Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation, whether living donor (LDLT) or deceased donor (DDLT), is currently the treatment of choice for patients with advanced liver disease. While initially the focus was on acceptable short-term survival, currently the efforts are aimed at improving longterm prognosis. Thus, focus is now on the quality of life after liver transplantation, as well as prediction and management of ...
متن کاملPredictors of renal function recovery among patients undergoing renal replacement therapy following orthotopic liver transplantation
Renal dysfunction frequently occurs during the periods preceding and following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), and in many cases, renal replacement therapy (RRT) is required. Information regarding the duration of RRT and the rate of kidney function recovery after OLT is crucial for transplant program management. We evaluated a sample of 155 stable patients undergoing post-intensive care...
متن کاملRenal impairment after liver transplantation - a pilot trial of calcineurin inhibitor-free vs. calcineurin inhibitor sparing immunosuppression in patients with mildly impaired renal function after liver transplantation
OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease is frequent in patients after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and has impact on survival. Patients receiving calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) are at increased risk to develop impaired renal function. Early CNI reduction and concomitant use of mycophenolat mofetil (MMF) has been shown to improve renal function. METHODS The aim of this trial was to compare d...
متن کاملRisk factors for consequent kidney impairment and differential impact of liver transplantation on renal function.
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops frequently after liver transplantation (LTx), and it is important to identify and correct risk factors that negatively affect kidney function. Risk factors have not been well evaluated in Asian countries where hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dominant cause. METHODS Four hundred thirty-one Korean recipients who underwent LTx between 1997 ...
