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 ...

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...

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...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the factors associated with infection after kidney transplantation and to explore the predictive value of Th17/Treg cells and cytokine levels for infection.MethodsA retrospective anal...

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...

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...

BackgroundItchy E3 ubiquitin ligase deficiency (ITCH deficiency) is a rare monogenic immune dysregulation syndrome characterized by early-onset multisystem autoimmunity and significant morbidity and mortality. Only one p...

OBJECTIVE: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors are among the immunosuppressive drugs used in renal transplantation. The aim of this study was to reveal our experiences in conversion from calcineurin inhibitor...

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...

AIM: Development of de-novo anti-HLA antibodies in the post-transplant period might be the earliest finding of later chronic antibody mediated rejection. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and risk fact...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the factors that may affect the quality of life in patients undergoing renal transplantation. MATERIAL and METHODS: The target population of the study consiste...

Lung transplantation (LTx) remains limited by high immunogenicity and chronic rejection, yet the application of donor-specific blood transfusion (DSBT) in LTx has not been fully investigated. We established a murine orth...

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...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of renal transplantation on left ventricular (LV) function and morphology in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the late posttransplant period. MATERIAL and Methods: T...

Abstract Background Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is routinely measured as a pregnancy marker in women of reproductive age prior to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Although a positive result commonly ...

Objective: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, leveraging cytotoxic conditioning regimens and graft-versus-leukemia effects. Reduced-intensi...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Our knowledge about cardiovascular events after renal transplantation...

OBJETIVO: avaliar as inter-relações recíprocas entre o transplante renal e a gravidez por meio da análise das intercorrências clínicas e obstétricas, bem como da investigação do desfecho perinatal. MÉTODOS: foi...

OBJECTIVE: Cadaveric organ donation is not at desired levels in our country. However, the number of patients on cadaveric kidney waiting lists is increasing. This situation also makes it difficult to follow cadaveric kid...
