Non-expanded deceased donors with acute kidney failure can be a safe option to increase the number of kidneys for transplantation. Histological evaluation is fundamental to establish the functional prognosis of those grafts. Two kidney transplantations were performed from a young deceased donor with severe acute kidney failure and no structural change in the renal parenchyma. Both patients had ...

During 1986, a total of 270 cadaver renal transplantations were performed at the University of Pittsburgh. Kidneys were allocated by a point system that awarded points to recipients for waiting time, antigen matching, antibody analyses, medical urgency, and logistic practicality. Kidneys were given to patients with the highest point totals in 98% of cases. To our knowledge, this is the first su...

Kidney transplantation from older and marginal donors is effective to confront organ shortage. However, limitations after of kidneys very kidney remain unclear. We compared patient graft outcome, achieved allograft function quality life renal transplantations Very Senior Donors (VSD, defined as aged 70 years older) with (SD, 60-70 years) Regular (RD, younger than 60 years) in Switzerland. evalu...

BACKGROUND HLA typing and the time a patient has spent on the waiting list are the primary criteria used to allocate cadaveric kidneys for transplantation in the United States. Candidates with no HLA-A, B, and DR mismatches are given top priority, followed by candidates with the fewest mismatches at the HLA-B and DR loci; this policy contributes to a higher transplantation rate among whites tha...

This paper investigates implications of introducing immunosuppressants (or suppressants) in kidney exchange problems. We begin with the standard kidney exchange model without suppressants and define two versions of the top-trading cycles (TTC) solutions satisfying Pareto efficiency. We then extend the model by introducing suppressants that make a patient compatible with any donor by relaxing im...

Introduction: A surgeon is constantly faced with the question to preserve the kidneys and their function for diverse lesions of the ureter. Often these lesions limit the kidneys in their performance. Material and methods: Between 2001 and 2015, five renal auto transplantations were performed at our center. The patients’ demographic, clinical and lab data was collected and analysed in the pre, i...
