Renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly increases in renal transplant recipients. We analyzed nine cases of malignancy in 200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in Imam hospital of Tehran University, Tehran, Iran. According to this study, the organ...

urinary tract infection (uti) is considered as one of the important bacterial infections seen among renal transplant recipients. in the present study, bacterial urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients were investigated. eighty-seven renal transplant recipients (57 males and 30 females) were included to study the bacterial utis. clean- catch midstream urine specimens were obtaine...

Background: Despite advances in the medical care of renal transplant recipients which have led to an improvement in allograft survival, renal allograft rejection is still a major ob-stacle to successful organ transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to allograft rejection will be of great importance for the development of efficient antirejection strategies. Objective: The aim ...

results 34 (34%) of the renal transplant recipients and 26 (26%) of the control group were positive for anti-toxoplasma igg. in addition 18 (18%) of the renal transplant recipients and 4 (4%) of the control group were positive for anti-toxoplasma igm. for both values of the antibodies, differences were statistically significant (p < 0.025 and p < 0.001 respectively). the pcr results indicated t...
