The aim of this paper is to analyze 87 cases of kidney transplants obtained from nonrelated donors; in 20 of these, a donor-specific transfusion procedure4 was added to the pretreatment protocol of each recipient.

Background: Kidney transplantation of expanded criteria deceased donors (DCE) has become a common clinical practice. However, DCE outcomes are inferior compared to kidney transplants from standard criteria donors (DCS). ...

Aim: It is important to find biomarkers that identify the graft quality in kidney transplantation. Results & methodology: The level of SLPI in the cold preservation solution was used as a marker to predict early kidney ...

Acute antibody-mediated rejection is characterized by histological abnormalities such as glomerulitis, capillaritis, or thrombosis associated with presence of C4d and specific anti-donor antibodies. Reports on the association ...

Introduction Venous thrombosis is a serious surgical complication that frequently results in loss of kidney graft. Case presentation We report the case of a female patient recipient of a decease kidney transplant that in ...

The nephrotoxic effects of heavy metals have gained increasing scientific attention in the past years. Recent studies suggest that heavy metals, including cadmium, lead, and arsenic, are detrimental to kidney transplant ...

The kidney is one of the most sensitive organs to cadmiuminduced toxicity, particularly in conditions of long-term oxidative stress. We hypothesized that, in kidney transplant recipients, nephrotoxic exposure to cadmium ...

Although the use of kidney allografts from expanded criteria donors (ECD) has increased in recent years, the reported discard rates are also growing. the influence of ECD characteristics on transplant outcomes is still ...
