In order to evaluate the effect of donor-speclflc blood transfusions (DST) on short- and long-term renal allograft function, a group consisted of 20 patients who underwent DST was compared to 35 patients who received HLA...

Abstract Background Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions because of dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 sensitization after mismatched transfusions are serious complications. Dog erythrocyte antigen 1 expression varies from...

We aim to study infection of Transfusion Transmitted virus and associated with HGV and HCV on hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure. This study was performed on 50 hemodialysis patients (30 male, 20 female)...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a disease that often requires the transfusion of blood products. A child (two and a half years old, boy) with Shiga toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome who developed respiratory distre...

We determined anti-HCV prevalence in 89 hemodialysis patients in our unit and evaluated the relationship with hemodialysis duration and blood transfusion. Also comparing these findings with the results of the studies at ...

Anemia that is a main complication of chronic kidney disease affects not only the patient’s quality of life, but also morbidity and mortality. The primary cause of anemia in kidney patients is erythropoietin deficiency...

Objective: Anemia is one of the most important factors that decrease the quality of life in patients with end-stage renal desease receiving hemodialysis treatment. In these patients, Erythropoietin stimulating agents (E...
