background : the pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (uti) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation.  often recurrent utis will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death.  the study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent utis in the context of renal transplantation, what ...

The introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common feature in adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). However, accurate assessment of AKI incidence the pediatric population still seems challenge. Objectives To evaluate according to pRIFLE criteria children alloHSCT, with special focus on differences between patients transplanted due oncological and non-onc...

Objective: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the complete or almost complete failure of the kidneys to work. This kind of kidney failure is permanent and cannot be fixed. Most cases of ESRD are caused by diabetes or high blood pressure. Now the most effective methods of ESRD treatment are hemodialysis (HD) or kidney transplantation. In China, the pediatric patients with ESRD were increased in d...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of pediatric end-stage renal disease and evaluate demographics and renal disease characteristics in state of São Paulo over the year 2008. METHODS Observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study based on a population sample with subjects < 18 years. The data collecting assumed three forms: 1. A questionnaire for dialysis units; 2. Search in the Trans...

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-derived...

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is the treatment choice for patients with end-stage renal diseases. Because of good long-term outcome, pediatric kidney grafts are also accepted for transplantation in adult recipients despite a significant mismatch in body size and age between donor and recipient. These grafts show a remarkable ability of adaptation to the recipient body and increase in size i...

PURPOSE To retrospectively review our experience with pediatric renal transplantation and to compare the results with the adult population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1981 and August 2003, 74 renal transplants were performed in patients < or =18 years at the time of the transplant--the pediatric group versus 1153 patients in the adult group. We analyzed various risk factors for actu...
