Background: The higher frequency of malignant skin tumors is of great significance in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) who should receive immunosuppressive therapy for a long time. This study was designed to determine the frequency of malignant skin tumors in RTRs in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, in 2001-2002.Method: This descriptive study was performed on 322 recipients who were examine...

Liver cirrhosis is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), and this metabolic complication is also frequent after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aim of our study is to investigate which factors are associated with DM before and after OLT and their impact on post-OLT evolution. We evaluated the prevalence of DM among 115 liver transplant candidates with cirrhosis and asse...

introduction: cytomegalovirus (cytome-galovirus: cmv) infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who are the candidate for liver transplant. serological monitoring of individuals rece-iving and giving the liver transplant is necessary for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment strategies and reducing the prevalence of infection. the aim of this study was to assess the...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the effects of old age on renal transplantation (Tx) results and graft survival, and compared elderly patient population with the young patients. METHODS A total of 1946 renal transplant were performed from 1537 living and 409 cadaveric donors between 2003 and 2014. The recipients were divided into two groups according to their age at the time of transplantation. The you...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES ESRD has an adverse impact on patients who have had previous nonrenal solid-organ transplants (NRTxs; liver, heart, lung) and may be referred for a kidney transplant (KTx). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Using Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data for all KTx candidates who had NRTx and were listed between 1995 and 2008, incidence of NRTx l...

BK virus is a human polyoma virus that may cause nephropathy in immunosuppressed patients. It is a well-recognized cause of renal allograft dysfunction and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients, but it is an infrequent cause of nephropathy outside this setting. There are a few case reports of BK virus nephropathy in the native kidneys of immunosuppressed adult patients with non-renal tr...

A 24-year-old man with end-stage renal disease secondary to congenital renal hypoplasia under-went a preemptive renal transplant. Although a vascular complication occurred during surgery, the operation was completed satisfactorily. However, postoperative Doppler ultrasound showed no perfusion of the renal artery, vein, and parenchyma, indicating a transplant renal artery thrombosis. A reoperati...

Background & Aims: Renal transplantation is the best therapeutic option for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The aim of this study was to determine the graft survival rate of renal transplantation in patients who have been transplanted from live donor in Shiraz Transplant Research Center, Shiraz, Iran. Methods: In a survival analysis study, organ survival rate after kidney transplantation from...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of the transplant component of the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR). FINDINGS CORR is the national registry of organ failure in Canada. It has existed in some form since 1972 and currently houses data on patients with end-stage renal disease and solid organ transplants (kidney and/or non-kidney).
