In solid organ transplant recipients, it is recommended that the necessary vaccinations be completed at least 4 weeks before transplant. Chickenpox infection in adulthood can lead to serious clinical conditions such as p...

Spontaneous allograft rupture (SAR) is very rare in the posttransplant period. It is a life-threatening complication that affects the survival of the graft. It is associated with high rates of graft loss. SAR is most com...

Objective: BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) is an important cause of kidney transplant failure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate our center’s experience with BKVN in patients who had undergone renal transplantation and a...

Objective: Kidney donation from a relative is an ideal option for transplantation that would improve the recipients’ quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the challenges in the donation process ...

Objective: To evaluate Patient Reported Outcomes of intra/interdialytic symptoms and to optimize the ideal conductivity settings maintained for minimal symptom expressions. Materials and Methods: A prospective observat...

Objective: Some studies have shown that keto amino acids (KA) reduce proteinuria and improve renal function as well as nutritional status in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We aimed to compare the pathologic findings...

Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid decline (i.e., within hours and days) of renal function. Long-term thirst due to fasting may cause a decrease in both the intravascular volume and kidney p...
