.... Inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) upregulates Klotho. We assessed serial changes in the levels of soluble Klotho (sKlotho) in recipients before and after renal transplantation and investigated the effects of an mTOR inhibitor. Methods: Serum sKlotho levels were measured in 36 recipients...

... in small-vessel systemic vasculitis and some cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Removal of immune complexes is thought to be important in cryoglobulinemia and systemic lupus erythematosus. Plasmapheresis is used in renal transplantation for the treatment of acute...

... populations. There is apparently counterintuitive evidence that survival on dialysis is increased in many minority populations. Access to renal transplantation, both from deceased and living donors, is also restricted in many minority populations, and graft survival is often inferior. Analysis...

... to return to near-pretreatment levels within 3 h. In chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)-treated patients, serum AGE are similar to those achieved by hemodialysis. In contrast, AGE levels in diabetics with renal transplantation decreased 8 h after surgery and remained within the normal range over...

...C. Jacobs; J. Luciani The validity of the numerous statistical methods used for the assessment of the results achieved with renal transplantation performed for terminally uremic patients may be challenged by a medicalized approach of the patient’s post transplantation course and outcome...

... survival after cadaveric renal transplantation is better than on dialysis. The degree of vascular heart disease seems to be the major determinant for survival of kidney-transplanted diabetic patients. 29 10 2008 © 1985 S. Karger AG, Basel 1985 Copyright / Drug Dosage / Disclaimer Copyright...

...Eugénie C.H. van den Ham; Jeroen P. Kooman; Johannes P. van Hooff In renal transplant patients, weight gain generally increases after renal transplantation, which will be influenced by improved appetite and a reversal of the uremic state. However, at least in the early posttransplant period...
