One-third of patients with cirrhosis present kidney failure (AKI and CKD). It has multifactorial causes a harmful effect on morbidity mortality before after liver transplantation. Kidney function does not improve in all transplantation, transplant recipients are at high risk developing chronic disease. The renal dysfunction can be divided into three groups: pre-operative, perioperative post-ope...

Background: Delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. Difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. We investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophi...

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative diseases are complications that develop after solid organ transplantation. Primary EBV infection is one of the most important risk factors. After deceased kidney transplantation, we presented a young male patient diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Paediatric kidney transplantation into adult recipients is a well-recognised technique. However, there are different opinions regarding two methods of transplantation. These two opinions are single kidney transplantation (SKT) and en bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT) from donors up to 20 kg. We are reporting the first successful en bloc kidney transplantation from a small, paediatric donor int...

background: the purpose of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of mycophenolic acid (mpa) in iranian kidney transplant patients. methods: plasma mpa concentration of mycophenolate mofetile (mmf) 1 gram two times a day was measured in 21 iranian kidney transplant recipients receiving treatment. patients who entered the study had been transplanted for more than 3 months ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (kt) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-spect) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...

results during 2014, we encountered five patients with suspicious amr or tma at our kidney transplant center. renal biopsy was performed for two of them, suggesting amr for one patient and tma for another patient. all patients were treated with plasmapheresis plus ivig. in this center, as a routine practice, the cumulative dose of 2 g/kg of ivig was divided to 300 - 400 mg/kg after each plasmap...

introduction: pneumocystis jiroveci is an opportunistic infectious fungus in immunosuppressed patients, particularly in ones with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). the use of immunosuppressive drugs especially corticosteroids predisposes the transplanted patients to a variety of infectious diseases including pneumocystis infection. in many developed countries, the incidence of pneumocy...

conclusions oxygen therapy in the case group had no significant impact on protection from dgf. results forty living kidney transplantations including 17 cases and 23 controls were performed; female gender was more prevalent in recipients (n = 16, 40%). the mean age of recipients was 36.1 ± 12.4 (18-67) years old. dgf was detected in 2 (5.95%) individuals, from whom one was in the case group and...

background and aim the most common complication of renal transplantation is allograft dysfunction, which in some cases leads to graft loss. the role of graft nephrectomy in the management of transplant failure is controversial. the procedure remains associated with a significant morbidity and also mortality. our main purpose was the comparison between clinical and pathological diagnosis of graf...
