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 ...

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...

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: 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

OBJECTIVE: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal diseases. Long-term allograft function has remained steady in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKTx) during recent decades. In this st...

OBJECTIVE: Renal transplantation is the best treatment method of end-stage renal disease. Unfortunately, renal transplantation rates have not reached the desired level yet in our country. In this study, we aimed to evalu...

Objective: Chronic kidney disease has shown a gradual rise in prevalence. Kidney transplantation is the gold standard of renal replacement therapy and is associated with improved quality of life and decreased morbidity a...

The most important kidney transplantation antigens are the ABO blood group antigens and the products of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC antigens are called human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Exposure to ...

There is no consensus on the incidence and management of cholelithiasis (Cl) in renal transplant recipients (RTrs). In this study, we assessed Cl and its complications in RTrs before and after transplantation by abdomina...

OBJECTIVE: Our aim is to compare efficiency and safety of SRL+Tacrolimus (TAC) combination with that of Sirolimus (SRL) + Cyclosporin (CSA) combination during the early post-transplantation stage (first 3 months). MATE...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of pancreas transplantation concomitant with renal transplantation (SPKT) or following renal transplantation (PAKT) and the exocrine anastomosis meth...

Psychiatric and social rehabilitation is also very important as well as the medical rehabilitation after a successful transplantation. Encouragement of both marriage of single or widowed patients and becoming a parent of...

Ureteric stents has been widely used in kidney transplantation practice to decrease major urologic complications. However ureteral stenting is associated with some specific complications in patients with kidney transplan...

Renal transplantation is the most prominent treatment of end-stage renal failure. Unfortunately, acute and chronic rejections and drug toxicities reduce graft survival in the post-transplantation period. An attempt has t...

New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) is common in kidney recipients, threatening health and longevity by predisposing to microvascular and cardiovascular disease and by reducing graft survival. Sever...

Horseshoe kidney is one of the most common congenital fusion anomalies and may be an important option due to the limited donor pool for kidney transplantation. Horseshoe kidneys may be used for transplantation to selecte...
