results the accuracy for detecting number of main renal arteries were not different in both groups which were 96.7% in ct angiography group and 90% in traditional angiography group (p = 0.15). the accuracy for detection of main renal veins were 100% in group 1 and 96.7% in group 2 (p = 0.31). patients and methods a total number of 60 living kidney donors who underwent open surgical approach for...

Obesity has generally been thought to increase the risk of operative mortality and postoperative complications in surgical patients. No data examining obesity as a factor in cadaveric renal transplantation were available. We therefore matched obese patients undergoing cadaveric renal transplantation with nonobese control patients and retrospectively analyzed mortality, morbidity, and graft surv...

Renal transplantation is not readily available in the majority of countries in Africa. It is expensive and difficult to sustain on the meagre funds allocated to health. We report our short experience with fifteen living donor recipients followed in our unit for at least 24 months, range 26 - 48 (mean 35 months) post-transplantation. The donors and recipients were mostly young adults with mean a...

• Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)associated systemic vasculitis (AASV) is not a contraindication to renal transplantation. Despite the risk of disease recurrence post-transplantation, patient and graft outcomes in AASV are similar to those of renal transplant recipients with other causes of renal failure. • The optimal timing for renal transplantation in patients with AASV has not b...

Approximately 1,700 cases of renal transplantation are performed annually, and various diseases may occur due to long-term internal use postoperative immunosuppressants. We experienced a case cervical cancer, which is thought be human papillomavirus (HPV)-related after living kidney transplantation, underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.
