Background and Objective: Some neurologic complications may be detected after renal transplantation in children including tremor, peripheral neuropathy, altered level of consciousness and seizure. The aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of seizure after renal transplantation and its risk factors in pediatric age groups. Methods: In this descriptive study, 102 patients 5-14 yea...

Organ transplant recipients with chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection may be at increased risk of fulminant hepatitis A. Liver transplant (LTX) recipients, renal transplant (RTX) recipients, and healthy controls received 2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine 6 months apart. Anti-hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) seroconversion after the primary dose occurred in 41% of the LTX patients, 24% of...

BACKGROUND High incidence of premature ventricular contractions (PVCS) and arrhythmia during and soon after dialysis have been demonstrated by Holter monitoring. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effects of dialysis and renal transplantation on Tpe, Tpec (corrected Tpe), QTc (corrected QT), QTd (QT dispersion), and Tpe/QT parameters as known factors in arrhythmogenicity, and also the correlation ...

Kidney transplantation in patients with end stage renal disease is preferred to dialysis because transplantation provides a better quality of life andimproved survival. However, the gap between the supply and demand for a renal allograft is widening and the waiting time is increasing. Iranian protocol, a controlled transplant program supported by the government for living unrelated donors, was ...

background: it has been shown that serum total homocysteine (hc) is a risk factor for vascular disease which characterizes endothelial damage in the general and in the end-stage renal disease (esrd) population as well. whether n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease homocysteine (hcy) level has been a subject of controversy. methods: renal transplant patients were randomized in 2 groups and re...

the relation between microchimerism and allograft tolerance is still a mystery. in this study we determined the presence of peripheral blood microchimerism (pbmc) in female renal transplant recipients from living male donors with second round polymerase chain reaction (pcr). second round pcr was used to find y chromocome products. the degree of pbmc in renal transplant recipinents must be below...

background acute rejection remains a major problem in renal transplantation and represents one of the most important causes of chronic allograft dysfunction and late graft loss. daclizumab is a genetically engineered human igg1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the α chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, and may thus reduce the risk of rejection after renal transplantation. objectiv...

renal actinomycosis is a rare infection, and actinomycosis mostly acts as a normal flora in mouth, colon and vagina. we present a case of 56 years old man, who referred to our center for renal transplantation with kidney stone and diagnosed  with renal actinomycosis.  this case has risen possibility of rare infection that can be considered in the setting of renal transplantation.

A 22-year-old patient whose primary kidney disease was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) developed severe recurrence of proteinuria (up to 57 g/24 h) immediately after a haploidentic living donor kidney transplantation despite pre-operative plasmapheresis. The immunosuppressive treatment consisted of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, basiliximab and steroids. He underwent 10 plasmapher...
