introduction although renal transplantation from cadaver is common, living donors continue to be an important source of transplanted kidneys. recipients of living-donor kidneys demonstrate improved graft survival. in this study, we evaluated the outcomes of renal transplantation from cadaver, related donors and unrelated donors in isfahan. methods we evaluated all of the patients who underwent ...

a prospective study during 1990-1995 was conducted to assess the risk of rejection and infection in kidney-transplant recipients, who's original kidney had vesico-ureteral reflux (ver). two groups of recipients with and without ver were followed for one month after transplant 24 and 250 cases respectively. the calculated relative risks for the effect of ver showed a moderate increased risk...

background: bone marrow transplant (bmt) recipients are prone to bacterial, viral and fungal infections. bacterial infec­tion is considered as one of the common and serious complications in bone marrow transplant recipients. the aim of this study was to determine the rate of bacterial infections in bone marrow transplant recipients. methods: fifty-two blood and 25 catheter samples were obtained...

Neurologic and psychologic complications are usually related to drug toxicity, infections or symptoms induced by deterioration of renal allograft function. Metabolic encephalopathy, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular events, and new-onset seizures have all been reported in organ-transplant recipients. Infections can be caused by listeria, cryptococcus, nocardia, aspergillus and mu...

Evidences from many studies suggested a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a valuable method for diagnosing infectious disease in the transplant recipients. We used this method for detection of Toxoplasma, gondii and human cytomegalovirus in blood specimens from patients after bone marrow or kidney transplantation. DNA of both infectious agents were detected using two separate sets of nested pr...

background: toxoplasmosis is one of the prevalent parasitic diseases in the world with 10-40 percent of people having it as a latent infection. in cases of renal transplants, the condition either presents itself as a result of reactivation of the latent infection resulting in the weakness of immune system in a recipient or happens when a recipient simply contracts the condition from the donor t...

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 mos...
