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...

Recurrence of glomerulonephritis (GN) is considered an important cause of allograft failure in kidney transplant recipients. It can present after transplantation with complications that are difficult to manage. In this c...

Diabetes which first appears after transplantation is called New Onset Diabetes Mellitus after Transplantation (NODAT). NODAT is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and decreased allograft survival. Risk fa...

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA)/uremic hemolytic syndrome is a rarely seen complication after kidney transplantation and might be associated with cyclosporine-A. It can be confused with acute rejection when no systemic ...

One of the postoperative vascular complications in renal transplantation is stenosis of the transplant renal artery. Stenosis of the iliac segment proximal to the transplant renal artery (Prox-TRAS) is an uncommon cause ...

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...

The shortage of available organs is the limiting factor for kidney transplantation (Ktx). One of the strategies to increase access to Ktx is the use of non-heart beating (NHB) donors. We herein present a successful Ktx f...

Solid organ transplant patients have higher suicide rates compared to the general population. It is suggested that the major factor contributing to this is to be on multiple immunosupressive drugs, with some of these dru...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as an adjunctive therapy for depressive episodes. This study recruited 46 participants aged 18–65 from January 202...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to closely follow up renal functions in patients for a period of 100 days after hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation in order to be able to determine the incidence, possibl...

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for acute renal failure (ARF) and also the associated hazard of death in recipients of cardiac transplants. MATERIAL and METHODS: We included 25 patientsin the st...

Studies to prevent organ rejection in renal transplant patients are continuing. Improvement in HLA-matching and efficiency of immunosuppressive drugs are the most important factors. In this study, effects of single or th...

Septic arthritis is rarely seen in transplant patients and differs from the general population with regards to gram negative and/or atypical agents being the prominent causes. In renal transplant patients, osteonecrosis ...

ObjectiveRegulatory T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in transplantation immune tolerance. Although CD4+ Tregs have been extensively studied, the contribution of CD8+ regulatory T-cell subsets to transplant toleranc...

Abstract The significant economic burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) necessitates the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. Interest in the gut microbiota’s role in CRC has increased. Capecitabine, as a chem...

Resumo Objetivo Com o propósito de gerar evidências que contribuam para a prática clínica do enfermeiro na implementação de intervenções direcionadas para a melhoria do cuidado, o presente estudo teve como obje...

Renal artery stenosis is observed in 1-23% of the transplanted kidneys. It may result in graft dysfunction and hypertension but anuria is rare in patients with graft renal artery stenosis. We report a case of proximal tr...

Abstract Purpose The past two decades witnessed increased use of risk-adjusted standardized measures such as standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) in institutional comparisons betw...

A new generation carbapenem, ertapenem has an important advantage as it can be administered once a day. Among carbapenems imipenem is known to have neurotoxic side effects and reduces the seizure threshold in the kidney ...

Organ shortage is a significant problem for patients with end-stage renal disease seeking kidney transplantation despite efforts for increasing living kidney donation and strategies such as paired exchange. The donor poo...

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is increasingly used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT), across both haploidentical and HLA-matched do...

Urinary leakage is a well-recognized complication of renal transplant surgery, which may lead to increased morbidity. In order to define clinical efficacy of renal scintigraphy in urinary leakages, we retrospectively rev...

Calcium channel blockers (CCB) are preferred antihypertensive drugs in renal transplant patients. Mibefradil is the first drug of new class of CCB, which selectively blocks T-type calcium ion channels in contrast to othe...

There are many factors (hypertension, anemia, hyperparathyroidism, AV fistula, hyperhydration electrolyte imbalance, uremic toxins) which affect the cardiac functions of hemodialysis patients. In this study 11 patients w...
