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...

INTRODUCTION Urological complications after kidney transplantation may lead to graft loss. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed urological complications in 1,223 kidney transplantations that were performed at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occurrence of urological complications such as urine leakage, ureteral obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) according to the diffe...

The first kidney, liver and pancreas transplantations in Iran were carried out in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 1968, 1992 and 2006, respectively. In the course of time, the need for transplanting organs from brain dead cases has increased in a way that transplantation section of the University is currently practicing more than 400 liver, 40 pancreas and 250 kidney transplantations a...

BACKGROUND To ascertain the validity of kidney paired donations (KPDs) as an alternative strategy for increasing living donor kidney transplantations (LDKTs) in an LDKT-dominated transplant programme since directed kidney transplantation, ABO-incompatible or crossmatch-positive pairs are not feasible due to costs and infectious complications. METHODS This was a prospective single-centre study...

The demand for kidney transplantation is ever growing all over the world. Many centers are not able to accept related kidney donors due to blood group incompatibility. The waiting period for deceased donor transplantation is often very long, preventing patients from undergoing transplantation. Hence it becomes essential to increase the donor pool. ABO incompatible kidney transplantations (ABOi ...

BACKGROUND Renal transplantation is the procedure of choice for most of patients with end-stage renal disease. The graft, however can be procured from either cadaver or living donors. OBJECTIVE To compare graft and patient survival among patients who underwent kidney transplantation from cadaver donor vs. living donor. METHODS From April 2002 to February 2010, we performed 138 cadaver kidne...

KIDNEY transplantation has improved tremendously over the past decades. After the introduction of cyclosporine (CyA), delayed graft function and surgical complications became the most important prognostic factors. Early diagnosis and management can save the grafted kidney and prevent life-threatening complications. We investigated the surgical complications in 1000 kidney transplantations at ou...

Although hyponatremia is related to poorer outcomes in several clinical settings, its significance remains unresolved in kidney transplantation. Data on 1,786 patients who received kidney transplantations between January 2000 and December 2011 were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the corrected sodium values for serum glucose 3 months after their transplantations...

in this report, early complications (defined as those occurring within one month post-operatively) following renal transplantation were evaluated in 373 kidney transplantations in our department. the most common complications as well as their relative frequency and method of management are discussed.
