BACKGROUND/PURPOSE A long-term retrospective study was conducted to assess the risk factors of renal transplant graft failure focusing on the effects of gender of both the donor and the recipient. METHODS Medical records of primary renal transplantation performed in a single transplant hospital were reviewed. Cases of ABO incompatibility, positive cross-matches, or multiple organ transplants ...

Background:  Renal transplantation is the best choose in the end stage renal disease (ESRD), and acute rejection and graft dysfunction remain major challenges in the worldwide, even with the advent of new immunosuppressive drugs. The novel cell-based anti-rejection treatments have been studied by using different stem cell sources. In this study, transplantation of autologous-bone-marrow-derive...

Background: Kidney transplantation gives the best quality of life to chronic kidney disease patients and also increases longevity. Aim: Analysis factors responsible for early delayed graft functioning in live cadaver renal transplantsMethods: It was a retrospective observational study. Donor recipient age, sex, BMI, comorbid illness, status donor kidney, duration severity associated bladder dis...

BACKGROUND Administration of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), prior to ischemia or prior to reperfusion has been shown to decrease ischemia-reperfusion renal injury in animal studies. It is unknown whether this protective effect is applicable to renal transplantation in humans. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between prior statin use in renal transplant recipients...

INTRODUCTION Impaired renal function and/or pre-existing atherosclerosis in the deceased donor increase the risk of delayed graft function and impaired long-term renal function in kidney transplant recipients. CASE PRESENTATION We report delayed graft function occurring simultaneously in two kidney transplant recipients, aged 57-years-old and 39-years-old, who received renal allografts from t...
