conclusions: using these factors, nephrologists may predict the occurrence of graft loss or death. if the probability of graft loss was higher, physicians can decrease the immunosuppressive medications dosage to decrease the incidence of graft loss. patients and methods: fine-gray model was used for 266 cases with post-transplant malignancy in iran. these patients were followed-up from the diag...

background the human leukocyte antigen (hla) system is widely used as a strategy in the search for the etiology of renal function impairment. objectives this study was carried out to detect the most common hla alleles’ distribution in kidney transplant in both donors and recipients, and clarify the association between hla alleles and renal dysfunction immediately after transplantation. patients...

conclusions: in this study, kidney transplant recipients with a lower ri and pi and a higher edv at 1week showed better graft function at 6 months after transplantation. results: fourteen patients (15.4%) had impaired graft function after 6 months (gfr less than 60 ml/min/1.73m2). multivariate linear regression analysis showed significant correlation between gfr at 6 months and ri, pi and edv w...

background although the immunosuppressant cyclosporine (csa) is widely used after kidney transplantation over the long term, there is still no firm consensus on the best way to monitor of csa blood levels. objectives cyclosporine (csa) assay is critical for the management of renal transplant recipients due to inter– and intra–patient variation in csa absorption and metabolism. patients and meth...

background different measuring tools have been used to understand the outcomes of renal replacement therapies. the goal of renal transplantation is both to ensure survival, and to promote quality of life in the patients. one of the widely used disease-specific instruments to measure the quality of life is the kidney transplant questionnaire (ktq-25). objectives the current study aimed to perfor...

background : guillain-barre syndrome is an unusual complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation but it is extremely rare after solid organ transplantation such as kidney or liver transplantation case report : a 48-year-old man, a case of kidney transplantation presented with generalized weakness in an ascending pattern. history and examination were compatible with the diagnosis of gu...

conclusions only 11% of kidney transplant patients, even with a successful transplantation of the kidney and with an acceptable performance of the transplanted kidney, had an adequate level of vitamin d. although, we did not find any significant association between vitamin d levels and cmv infection during a 4-month follow-up after kidney transplantation. it was observed that, compared with the...

the subject of transplant immunosuppression has generated significant interest in recent years. excellent immunosuppression, advances in surgical technique, post-transplantation care, and infection control have resulted in excellent outcomes. there is widespread support for the notion that the fundamental objective in transplant immunology should be the achievement of specific graft tolerance. ...

abstract hydatid cysts are endemic hooknoses in iran. it may involve various organs of body. liver is involved in 80% and lung in 10- 15%of cases. 25% of pulmonary hydatid cyst is bilateral. before any transplantations eradication of infection is necessary. in a 26-year old man with renal failure referred for kidney transplantation. on initial preoperative evaluation of this patient hydatid cys...

background: kidney transplantation is a preferred treatment for many patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd) and is far more profi table than hemodialysis. analyzing renal transplantation data can help to evaluate the eff ectiveness of transplantation interventions. the aim of this study was to determine the organ survival rate after kidney transplantation during a period of 10 years (marc...
