Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...

BACKGROUND Reperfusion injury and the acid-base status of the transplant are important factors affecting post-transplantation graft function. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that infusing hypertonic saline (HS) or tight control of acid-base status of the blood rushing through renal graft using sodium bicarbonate may have beneficial effects on early graft function. METHODS Candidates for deceased-...

De novo RCC in a renal allograft is a rare event and has special implications in renal transplant recipients. The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidence of RCC in renal graft recipients and donors and to determine a procedure in cases with newly ...
