'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)....

background: cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease is an important cause of death and possibly transplant rejection in kidney transplant (kt) patients. this study was conducted to investigate the incidence and risk factors of cmv disease in kidney transplant patients. methods: all end-stage renal disease (esrd) patients who underwent kidney transplantation during 1998-2014 and their donors were assessed...

the first kidney transplant survival is very important. we know that short-term survival of kidney transplantation is improved over the past two decades in iran; however, no information is available on long-term survival and predictors. this study explored factors influencing long-term renal transplant survival at northwest of iran.in this single-center, study, survival rates and half-life of 2...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...

background liver transplantation is a life-saving intervention for many patients with end-stage liver disease. in the past, evaluation of successful liver transplantation was based on patients’ survival rate. however, in recent years this evaluation has been based on patients’ quality of life. various instruments have been developed to evaluate patients’ quality of life. nonetheless, scholars s...

Abstract Purpose Those of black descent make up 22.7% people in the UK receiving dialysis. A Registry data analysis transplant outcomes on Black-Population (BP) was done and a comparative assessment with Caucasian-Population (CP) renal recipients performed. Methods We harmonized Renal-Transplant Data to shortlist transplants Black Caucasian patients from year 2000-2019. The demographics surviva...

Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is the most common cause of chronic liver disease and indication for liver transplant in Western countries. Viral infection may recur after transplant in most patients. The diagnosis of histologic recurrence of hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplant may be difficult and may be confused with acute cellular graft rejection. Characteristics of the re...

Evidences from many studies suggested a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a valuable method for diagnosing infectious disease in the transplant recipients. We used this method for detection of Toxoplasma, gondii and human cytomegalovirus in blood specimens from patients after bone marrow or kidney transplantation. DNA of both infectious agents were detected using two separate sets of nested pr...

High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant is commonly used for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that recurs after successful salvage chemotherapy. However, in patients in whom the disease recurs again, the prognosis is poor. A 40-year-old woman who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant 4 years after autologous stem cell transplant developed recurrent diffuse large B-cell lymp...

The phases of bone marrow transplantation can be identified as the pre-transplant period, the immediate post-transplant period, and the late post-transplant period. The pre-transplant period is characterized by identification of the appropriate type of transplant to be done and, if necessary, finding an appropriate donor; entry of the patient into the transplant unit; administration of the prep...
