background multiple renal arteries in kidney grafts have been associated with an increased rate of vascular and urologic complications. our objective is to compare the outcome of transplanted patients who receive a single pedicle kidney with those who receive a multiple arterial graft. objectives to find our the differences in the outcome and complications in patients undergoing kidney transpla...

This article uses OPTN/SRTR data to review trends in pediatric transplantation over the last decade. In 2003, children younger than 18 made up 3% of the 82,885 candidates for organ transplantation and 7% of the 25,469 organ transplant recipients. Children accounted for 14% of the 6,455 deceased organ donors. Pediatric organ transplant recipients differ from their adult counterparts in several i...

BACKGROUND Graft survival in children who undergo kidney transplantation is lower than that in adults. The objective of the study was to review the experience of the first 22 years of operation of the regional pediatric kidney transplantation unit for Atlantic Canada, based at the IWK-Grace Health Centre, Halifax, and to use the results to improve graft survival. METHODS All cases of kidney t...

Background:  Renal transplantation is the best choose in the end stage renal disease (ESRD), and acute rejection and graft dysfunction remain major challenges in the worldwide, even with the advent of new immunosuppressive drugs. The novel cell-based anti-rejection treatments have been studied by using different stem cell sources. In this study, transplantation of autologous-bone-marrow-derive...

background when using brain dead donors for organ donation, assessment of kidney function before the procedure is essential. objectives it would be ideal to find an early marker of viability of donor kidneys that is more accurate than creatinine. patients and methods the present study was conducted from march of 2011 to march of 2012, included 52 deceased donors. serum and urinary neutrophil ge...

background chronic renal failure is an important and common complication of diabetes mellitus; hence, renal transplantation is a frequent and the acceptable treatment in patients with diabetic nephropathy requiring renal replacement therapy. on the other hand, renal transplantation and its conventional treatment can lead to increased diabetes outbreak in normoglycemic recipients. also, uncontro...

oral mucosa can be affected in many systemic diseases such as chronic renal failure (crf). many metabolic and hematologic disorders develop in patients with crf which can also affect oral cavity. oral mucosa, teeth, salivary glands and jaw bones are affected. although hemodialysis can improve many of systemic features but the best treatment is renal transplantation. in addition to previous feat...

BACKGROUND Favorable outcomes of en bloc pediatric donor kidney transplantation to adult recipients are attributed primarily to grafting of twice the nephron mass of a single kidney. METHODS The kidneys of a 9-month-old male infant were transplanted en bloc in a 56-year-old man. Biopsies were performed 1 hour postreperfusion, 6 months and 3.5 years posttransplant. RESULTS Warm and cold isch...
