To assess the contribution of the protein content of urine from the native kidneys to post-transplant proteinuria, we prospectively studied 14 live donor transplant recipients with a pre-transplant random urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPr:Cr) >0.5. Seven patients received preemptive transplants, and seven patients were on dialysis pre-transplant (with residual urine output). Resolution of ...
OBJECTIVES To explore different perceptions of urban and rural nephrologists regarding patient suitability for transplant. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted 4 focus groups, each consisting of 4 to 6 nephrologists practicing in either a rural (n=9) or an urban setting (n=11). A topic guide was developed and modified according to pilot testing. Broadly stated, open ended queries probed percept...
Cytomegalovirus is the most important pathogen affecting transplant recipients and causing significant morbidity and morbidity. The prevalence of CMV infections in transplant recipient varies from country to country. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of PCR assay for CMV detection in patients before Keratoplasty. A total of 23 patient samples en...
INTRODUCTION Delayed graft function is a prevalent clinical problem in renal transplantation for which there is no objective system to predict occurrence in advance. It can result in a significant increase in the necessity for hospitalisation post-transplant and is a significant risk factor for other post-transplant complications. METHODOLOGY The importance of microRNAs (miRNAs), a specific s...
PURPOSE A full-time 24/7 caregiver is required for 100 days or longer following an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant during which time caregivers have multiple demands. Although distress in caregivers is documented, generalization is limited by small sample sizes, restricted range of assessments, and lack of information as to which caregivers may be more vulnerable to distress. The purpose ...
Data from transplant patients has many unique characteristics that can cause problems with statistical modeling. The patient's underlying disease / health trajectory is known to affect both longitudinal biomarker values and the probability of both death and transplant. In liver transplant patients, biomarker values show a sharp exponential increase in the days preceding death or transplant. Pat...
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...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is an important complication in solid organ transplant recipients. Thymic function in adults is associated with specific T-cell immunity. Pre-transplant thymic function was analysed in 75 solid organ transplant patients by the use of nested PCR. The primary outcome was the incidence of CMV disease 12 months after transplantation. Using multivariable logistic regres...
BACKGROUND Premature cardiovascular (CV) death is the commonest cause of death in renal transplant recipients. Abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) structure (collectively termed uremic cardiomyopathy) and left atrial (LA) dilation, a marker of fluid status and diastolic function, are risk factors for reduced survival in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In the present analysis, w...
Depression after liver transplantation has been associated with decreased survival, but the effects of pre-transplant depression on early and late post-transplant outcomes remain incompletely evaluated. We assessed all patients who had undergone single-organ liver transplantation at a single center over the prior 10 years. A diagnosis of pre-transplant depression, covariates, and the outcomes o...
