Spontaneous twin pregnancy is rare in renal transplant recipients, and confers a significant risk, in terms of both transplant dysfunction and fetal complications. Physiological changes in renal haemodynamics may assist in predicting a favourable outcome, but have not been previously reported in these circumstances. We present a case of a successful outcome for both mother and babies, and detai...

background: organ transplant recipients can experience serious diseases from infections due to emerging and reemerging parasitic infections. this study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasites among renal transplant re-cipients of iran. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted from june 2003 to august 2004 on renal transplant recipients in iran. a total of 706...

Patients who undergo dialysis treatment or a renal transplant have a high risk of blood-borne viral infections, including the Torque teno virus (TTV). This study identified the presence of TTV and its genome groups in blood samples from 118 patients in dialysis and 50 renal-transplant recipients. The research was conducted in a hospital in the city of Maringá, state of Paraná. The viral DNA, ob...

Nuclear Renogram can play an invaluable role in assessment of post renal transplant complication. Early recognition of renal functions loss after renal transplant can allow early management of high probability of salvaging the renal function. Subsequently an urgent USG KUB & doppler of transplant kidney was performed which revealed absent perfusion in upper half of transplant with finding sugge...

BACKGROUND Renal transplantation is recognised as being the optimal treatment modality for many patients with established renal failure. This analysis aimed to explore inter-centre variation in access to renal transplantation in the UK. METHODS Transplant activity and waiting list data were obtained from NHS Blood and Transplant, demographic and laboratory data were obtained from the UK Renal...

OBJECTIVES Despite the demonstration of oxidative stress in patients with end-stage renal disease, the oxidative status during and after a renal transplant are not completely understood. Hepatocyte growth factor is reported to act as an endogenous factor against oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern of changes in plasma oxidative status and hepatocyte growth factor...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious disease requiring hospitalisation following renal transplantation. However, the risk and outcome of post-transplant pyelonephritis remains unclear. METHODS This population-based cohort study was conducted from 1 January 1990 to 31 December 2009. Each member of a Danish population-based, nationwide cohort of first-time renal tran...

Malignant disease arises more commonly in renal transplant recipients than in non-transplanted individuals. Renal polycystic disease is the only cause of renal failure that has a statistically significant association with the acquisition of malignancy in renal transplant recipients. This patient, who had renal failure due to polycystic disease, is the first reported renal transplant recipient t...

OBJECTIVES Linear growth impairment frequently accompanies chronic kidney disease in children. Despite successful renal transplant, growth retardation may persist in renal allograft recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recorded the longitudinal growth and biochemical data of prepubertal children during the first 2 years after renal transplant in 34 children (18 boys [52.9%]; mean age at renal...
