Kidney transplantation (KT) can reverse renal function and improve patient survival while intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level persists high in some kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Thus we examined the prevalence associated factors of persistent hyperparathyroidism (pHPT).

With cross-over living donor kidney transplantation, immunologic incompatibilities within the original donor/recipient pair can be overcome. As minimal invasive techniques for organ recovery are increasingly applied, this should also be performed in a cross-over kidney transplantation. We present the first report of a successful simultaneous laparoscopic kidney recovery for cross-over kidney tr...

Introduction . Infectious complications contribute to a significant decrease in graft and recipient survival rates. The article describes case report of transplantation the primary infected kidney transplant. Material methods A 33-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus end-stage renal disease underwent transplantation. deceased donor was 46-year-old man confirmed brain death as result a...

Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment for end stage renal disease. Despite improvement in survival and quality of life, prevalence falls higher kidney transplant recipients. Factors that increase risk include female gender, older age, impaired balance control, lower ankle dorsiflexion muscle strength, high serum creatinine levels, use antidiabetic medications. Functional limitat...

BACKGROUND Cardiac disorders are very common in individuals with chronic kidney disease and are associated with morbimortality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate cardiac alterations after kidney transplantation. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 40 patients with chronic kidney disease, immediately before and one month, three months and six months after kidney transplantation, using tissue Doppler echo...

a 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. this procedure was performed in december 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. the first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. end-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimplanted...

Background: In addition to Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. Objective: To evaluate the influence of HLA-DR matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (LURD) kidney transplantation. Methods: A total of 42 renal transplants pe...

Kidney transplantation is a definite treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, management of allograft dysfunction has remained major challenge and some patients return to dialysis after transplantation. Studies showed that peritoneal (PD) results in higher chance survival lower risk delayed compared hemodialysis (HD). For this reason, study explored the initiation PD six with Tabr...
