results the accuracy for detecting number of main renal arteries were not different in both groups which were 96.7% in ct angiography group and 90% in traditional angiography group (p = 0.15). the accuracy for detection of main renal veins were 100% in group 1 and 96.7% in group 2 (p = 0.31). patients and methods a total number of 60 living kidney donors who underwent open surgical approach for...

• Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)associated systemic vasculitis (AASV) is not a contraindication to renal transplantation. Despite the risk of disease recurrence post-transplantation, patient and graft outcomes in AASV are similar to those of renal transplant recipients with other causes of renal failure. • The optimal timing for renal transplantation in patients with AASV has not b...

Approximately 1,700 cases of renal transplantation are performed annually, and various diseases may occur due to long-term internal use postoperative immunosuppressants. We experienced a case cervical cancer, which is thought be human papillomavirus (HPV)-related after living kidney transplantation, underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.

During the routine dissection of posterior abdominal wall of approximately a 67 year old male formaldehyde cadaver. The left kidney present with arterial variation. An accessory renal artery was detected arising from the lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta at level dis...

nuclear medicine imaging is routinely used for evaluation of perfusion and function of the transplanted kidneys. at present, the radiopharmaceutical of choice for this study in our center is tc 99m-ec. complications of the kidney graft are demonstrable in the early and delayed images. one of these complications is vesicoureteral reflux to the graft or to the native kidneys. we present a 27 year...

Renal failure is treated by dialysis or renal transplantation. Renal transplantation has become the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) because of long-term survival and improved life quality in cases when transplantation is performed instead of hemodialysis.1-3 The most frequent renal transplantation complications are the following: renal and perirenal fluid collections, dec...

Loss of hearing is a known problem in patients with chronic renal failure, occurring in 40-XO% of cases and being most often of the high frequency sensorineural type. We performed a study on 50 patients with this disease, including 20 who had undergone a successful kidney transplantation. Our results show an 80% incidence of hearing loss in these patients and a chance of improvement in at l...
