PBS140 offers good cold preservation in renal transplantation and now, crucially, has been shown to promote immediate function following warm ischemia. For a new cold preservation solution to compete with UW solution, improved efficacy and lower price may not be enough. Reducing rates of delayed graft function in organs from non-heart-beating and marginal donors might be the key.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a public health concern of 21st century. Each year, over million people die from CKD resulting the lack proper diagnosis and treatment this terrible urinary system. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause roughly 60% all deaths worldwide. There is insufficient data in Rwanda for management other NCDs facilities. Renal substitution therapy appears ...

MARGARET BISSON, P. BISSON, D. SPRATT, AND SYLVIA DAVIES (Renal Unit, Whipton Hospital and Area Department of Pathology, Exeter) Cytological examination of the urine has provided immediate indication of early rejection after renal transplantation. The appearance of activated lymphocytes and immunoblasts in the urinary deposit correlates well with other parameters of rejection, such as reduced r...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the seroconversion rate and duration of persistence of protective antibody titres after varicella immunisation in children with renal failure. DESIGN 32 children (25 end stage and 7 pre-end stage renal failure) were immunised using 2 x 2,000 plaque forming unit doses of varicella vaccine 3 months apart. Varicella antibody titres were measured by enzyme linked immunos...

Background & Aims: Hypertension, hyperuricaemia and nephrotoxicity are some common side-effects of Cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment in renal transplant recipients. Previous studies suggest that Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) can increase serum level of CsA and may improve graft function in patients receiving CsA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Diltiazem and Amlodipine on cyc...

kidney transplantation is the most common transplantation in the world. annually, a large number of patients that have chronic renal failure are undergoing renal transplantation and the major subject about these patients is the rejection of graft that should be controlled by immunosuppressive agents.  the aim of this study is investigation of the effect of cyclosporin against tacrolimus in pati...

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...

OBJECTIVES To report our experience of diagnosis and multimodal management of urolithiasis in renal transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1995 to December 2012, 953 patients underwent renal transplantation in the Kidney Transplant Unit of Treviso General Hospital. Ten (10%) of them developed urinary calculi and were referred at our institution. Their mode of presentation, investi...
