Pediatric kidney transplantation: An overview
Kidney Transplantation in children is the treatment of choice to treat end stage renal disease. Improvements in immunosuppressive management have dramatically reduced the risk of early acute rejection and graft loss, however the long term results in terms of graft survival and morbidity still require search for new immunosuppressive regimens. Reducing of side effects are the challenges for impr...
متن کاملNINE CASES OF MALIGNANCY AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly increases in renal transplant recipients. We analyzed nine cases of malignancy in 200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in Imam hospital of Tehran University, Tehran, Iran. According to this study, the organ...
متن کاملBiopsy of the transplanted kidney--role of protocol biopsies.
Traditionally, renal allograft biopsies were performed mainly in the setting of acute graft dysfunction. Recently, there has been a change of paradigms. Several reports suggested that acute rejection of the graft and chronic allograft nephropathy are often subclinical without any deterioration in the graft function. This raises the issue of biopsies in functionally stable allografts (e.g. proto...
متن کاملProtocol transplant biopsies: an underutilized tool in kidney transplantation.
D iscussion on the use of protocol biopsies in renal transplantation requires that important information that has come to light in recent years be taken into consideration. First, the reduction in the incidence of clinical rejections and increased graft survival at 1 yr has not translated into improved long-term outcomes. Second, the serum creatinine, the most widely used test to monitor the fu...
متن کاملNEUROLOGIC AND PSYCHOLOGIC COMPLICATIONS AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Neurologic and psychologic complications are usually related to drug toxicity, infections or symptoms induced by deterioration of renal allograft function. Metabolic encephalopathy, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular events, and new-onset seizures have all been reported in organ-transplant recipients. Infections can be caused by listeria, cryptococcus, nocardia, aspergillus and mu...
