Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...

1. Haemodynamics, blood volume, plasma renin concentration and creatinine clearance were evaluated in 24 stable renal transplant recipients. 2. The mean cardiac index of the transplant recipients was not different from that of the normal subjects. 3. The transplant recipients comprised eight hypertensive and 16 normotensive patients. The mean cardiac index was the same in eight hypertensive and...

Background: Primary infection with BK virus (BKV) is occurred during childhood and usually asymptomatic, but after initial infection, BKV may persist lifelong in the kidney and genitourinary tract. Reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. Due to the role of BKV in BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and po...

Background: The Presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. Objective: To study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...

materials and methods we retrospectively evaluated 150 consecutive transplant recipients at the university of jena 12 months postoperatively for the presence and treatment of luts related to bpo. results the mean age of the patients was 59 years (range 27 - 82 years). by 12 months postoperatively, 91% (n = 137/150) were off dialysis with a functioning kidney graft. two patients died during foll...

abstract background: correction of the uremic state by a functioning allograft often restores fertility in women of reproductive age. the rate of fertility significantly differs between industrial countries, developing and middle east countries. on the other hand the results of pregnancy in kidney transplantation (ktp) patients are significantly better than hemodialysis patients, and pregnancy ...

INTRODUCTION BK polyomavirus (BKV) as a member of polyomavirus family is prevalent in the human population. BKV persists in renal tissue after asymptomatic infection in childhood. The reactivation of BKV in renal transplant recipients sometimes can lead to BKV associated nephropathy. BKV isolates are classified into four serologically distinct subtypes. Present study was carried out to investig...

Abstract Purpose Outcomes of renal-transplant-recipients with Class 3 obesity (severely obese) is extremely limited. An outcome-analysis severely- obese transplant recipients reported to UK-NHSBT-Transplant-Registry was performed. Methods We harmonized the NHSBT-UK-Data shortlist renal-transplants performed on 3-obese in UK from 2000-2019. The demographics-report and survival-analysis at 1,3 5 ...

The impact of intestinal parasitic infection in renal transplant recipients requires careful consideration in the developing world. However, there have been very few studies addressing this issue in Iran. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in renal transplant recipients in Iran. Stool specimens from renal transplant recipients and control gro...
