hepatitis c virus infection in patients with chronic renal failure and renal transplantation ecipients

'die presence anil significance of hepatitis c virus infection among patients with chronic renal failure (crf) on hemodialysis and renal transplant recipient were evaluated a pcrioil of 30 months. a total of 125 patients, comprising 25 recieving chronic hemodialysis, 47 renal transplant candidates and 5.1 renal transplant recipients, were studied with a second generation immunoassay (elisa ii)....

Chronic viral hepatitis and the management of chronic renal failure.

Effective control measures to reduce the spread of HBV in dialysis units have had a major beneficial impact on the management of patients with chronic renal failure (Table 3). The exact impact of chronic HBV infection on graft and patient survival following RT remains unclear, and the outcome may depend in great part on the severity of the pre-RT liver disease. RT should only be offered to HBV-...

Ozone: A Possible Agent that Delays the Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic renal failure (CRF) represents a world health problem. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of ozone therapy, in the renal function and morphology, in an experimental model of CRF. Rats were divided into 4 groups: 1-negative control, rats without any treatment; 2-positive control, rats submitted to 5/6 reduction of the total renal mass (right kidney nephrectomy, with 2 branch...

Interaction of Gender and Hepatitis C in Risk of Chronic Renal Failure After Liver Transplantation.

BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in post-liver transplantation (LT) recipients. The risk factors associated with the development of renal dysfunction are not clearly elucidated. OBJECTIVES To examine the risk factors in the development of CRF in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective case-cohort of liver transplant patients...

CTLA-4 Gene Haplotypes and the Risk of Chronic Hepatitis C Infection; a Case Control Study

Background: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is increasing worldwide. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) may play a role in the intensity of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between genetic variants of the CTLA-4 and HCV infection. Methods: Restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) was ...
