Awareness of the variation and renal vascular abnormality at retroperitoneal space surgeries such as kidney surgery and transplantation is very important and necessary. Complexity in the veins development of the kidney area of fetus leads to a series of changes in the production of these veins, including the extra kidney vein, and the posterior aorta vein. In this case report, we present a case...

Background: To investigate the type and diagnostic criteria for the incidence of neurological complications after renal transplantation. Material and methods: Clinical data of 1216 patients undergoing renal transplantation in the 309th Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army between September 2008 and December 2015 were retrospectively analysed.

Despite progress in preventing and controlling infectious complications of renal transplantation, posttransplantation viral infections remain a significant threat to patients’ health. Optimizing outcomes after renal transplantation depends on effective management of posttransplant infectious complications. This paper discusses manifestations, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common viral...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In the first months after successful kidney transplantation, hypophosphatemia and renal phosphorus wasting are common and related to inappropriately high parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels. Little is known about the long-term natural history of renal phosphorus homeostasis in renal transplant recipients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICI...

BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction can be defined as the persistent inability of man to achieve penile erection and maintain it sufficient for satisfactory coitus. The objectives of this study were to find out the impact of successful renal transplantation on the degree and frequency of erectile dysfunction. METHODS Thirty patients of end stage renal disease that were on regular haemodialysis an...

Iran—formerly called Persia—is located in the Middle East between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. It covers 1 648 000 km and has 60 million inhabitants. The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in Iran is about 15 000 and the annual incidence of new ESRD patients is 3175 or 53 patients per million populations per year.

a. We recommend that diabetes should not on its own preclude a patient from being considered for kidney transplantation (1D). b. We recommend that potential renal transplant candidates with diabetes are screened for cardiovascular disease in accordance with the “Cardiovascular Disease” sub-topic guidelines (1D). c. We suggest that renal transplant candidates with diabetes be considered for pree...

Renal transplantation has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. Recent advances in renal transplantation notably, the matching of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and improved immunosuppressants have improved short-term and long-term graft survival rates. In light of recent developments optimization of kidney transplant outcomes is paramount to fur...
