Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a life-threatening and scarce disorder characterized by acute renal failure and disease, non-immune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia, leading to end-stage renal failure or death, and consequently maybe accompanying by extra renal manifestations. Case report: We reported aHUS accompanied by autoimmune hemolytic anemi...

Polyoma virus nephropathy occurs in 3% to 4% of renal transplant recipients, causing graft loss in 50% of cases. The objective of the present study was to explore the effects of age, sex, post-transplantation period and plasma creatinine levels on the polyoma virus infection in kidney transplanted patients. Urine samples were collected from 362 patients, centrifuged and microscopic slides prepa...

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 ...

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...

Immunosuppressive drugs are the cornerstone of treatment auto-immune inflammatory diseases (AIIDs) with renal involvement. How‑ ever, most commonly used in this setting can increase risk bacterial, fungal, and viral infection, also impair immune response following vaccination. Recommendations evidence on strategies for infection prevention AIIDs will be reviewed.
