Background and Objective: Determining the efficiency of kidney transplantation, survival rate patients after surgery, role factors affecting this is particular importance. The present study aimed to assess recipients cadaveric-donor kidneys in transplant unit Imam Reza (AS) Hospital Tabriz during last five years. Materials Methods: This descriptive-analytical was conducted on kidneys. data were...

We test the hypothesis that PARP inhibition can decrease acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and other renal lesions related to prolonged cold ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in kidneys preserved at 4°C in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution. Material and Methods. We used 30 male Parp1(+/+) wild-type and 15 male Parp1(0/0) knockout C57BL/6 mice. Fifteen of these wild-type mice were pretreated with 3,4-dih...

Organ preservation remains an important contributing factor to graft and patient outcomes. During donor organ procurement and transportation, cellular injury is mitigated through the use of preservation solutions in conjunction with hypothermia. Various preservation solutions and protocols exist with widespread variability among transplant centers. In this review of abdominal organ preservation...

 Abstract  Background: Despite the long-standing association of macrophage migration inhibitory  factor (MIF) with delayed-type hypersensitivity response, the potential role  of MIF in chronic allograft nephropathy is unknown. The association between upregulation of MIF expression, macrophage and T cell infiltration and the severity of  chronic allograft nephropathy suggests that MIF may be an ...

BACKGROUND The question of whether the choice of preservation solution affects outcome after liver transplantation is still not satisfactorily answered. The purpose of this study is to examine the preservation solutions' impact on outcome after liver transplantation. METHODS A double-center retrospective study of short- and long-term results of 3134 consecutive liver transplantations with fol...

background opportunistic infections have become much more considerable in the last decades, especially in immunocompromised patients and due to the medical interventions. cryptosporidium is a pathogenic protozoan parasite causing diarrhea in children and some times acts as a life threatening opportunistic pathogen in the immunocompromised adults. objectives this study aimed to investigate the p...

OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome and complications of pregnancy following renal transplantation in Sri Lanka. METHODS Ten pregnancies following transplantation managed between January 1993 and July 1999 by the University Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit, De Soysa Hospital for Women, Colombo were reviewed. RESULTS Five women had planned pregnancy with an average duration from transplantation t...

conclusions the type and amount of fluid replacement therapy and optimizing hemodynamic status, before and during reperfusion of the transplanted kidney, are of particular importance during renal transplantation surgery. results general anesthesia was performed in 82% of patients and for the rest of them, spinal, epidural and combined spinal and epidural were done. the age of the patients was i...

BACKGROUND Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are at risk of complications in different organs including cardiovascular system. Renal transplantation is the best choice in these patients which diminishes these complications. It is observed that after renal transplantation, cardiac parameters have appropriate improvement. Current study evaluates echocardiographic findings in renal tran...
