loss of hearing is a known problem in patients with chronic renal failure, occurring in 40-xo% of cases and being most often of the high frequency sensorineural type. we performed a study on 50 patients with this disease, including 20 who had undergone a successful kidney transplantation. our results show an 80% incidence of hearing loss in these patients and a chance of improvement in at least...

The arterial baroreceptor is critically involved in the autonomic regulation of homoeostasis. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor is expressed on both somatic and visceral sensory neurons. Here, we examined the TRPV1 innervation of baroreceptive pathways and its functional significance in the baroreflex. Resiniferatoxin (RTX), an ultrapotent analog of capsaicin, was us...

This study assessed the effect and feasibility of morning bright light therapy (BLT) on sleep, circadian rhythms, subjective feelings, depressive symptomatology and cognition in renal transplant recipients (RTx) diagnosed with sleep-wake disturbances (SWD). This pilot randomized multicentre wait-list controlled trial included 30 home-dwelling RTx randomly assigned 1:1 to either 3 weeks of BLT o...

Abstract Background: Renal transplantation (RT) is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease and has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. The knowledge of renal vascular variations is of a great importance for the surgeons who approach the kidneys from the retroperitoneal o...

introduction although renal transplantation from cadaver is common, living donors continue to be an important source of transplanted kidneys. recipients of living-donor kidneys demonstrate improved graft survival. in this study, we evaluated the outcomes of renal transplantation from cadaver, related donors and unrelated donors in isfahan. methods we evaluated all of the patients who underwent ...

Peculiarities of the induction immunosuppressive therapy in renal transplantation

background multiple renal arteries in kidney grafts have been associated with an increased rate of vascular and urologic complications. our objective is to compare the outcome of transplanted patients who receive a single pedicle kidney with those who receive a multiple arterial graft. objectives to find our the differences in the outcome and complications in patients undergoing kidney transpla...

introduction: acute rejection of renal transplant is a serious and common systemic inflammatory disorder which leads to decreasing half-life of transplant organ. current diagnoses method is an invasive biopsy procedure on allogtraft kidney. therefore, applying a novel and noninvasive diagnostic method such as granzym b level in acute renal transplantation could help patients and improves surviv...

objectives: the present study aimed to provide an estimation of the current financial burden of renal transplantation therapy for insurance organisations.methods: an excel-based model was developed to determine the treatment costs of current clinical practice in renal transplantation therapy (rtt). inputs were derived from ministry of health and insurance organizations` database, hospital and p...
