... factors (such as diabetes, hypertension, and lipid disorders), nontraditional risk factors (such as uremic toxins, anemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism) may predispose CKD patients to neurological disorders. Likewise, cognitive problems occur more commonly in kidney transplant recipients, regardless...

...Nadine Heimgartner; Nicole Graf; Diana Frey; Lanja Saleh; Rudolf P. Wüthrich; Marco Bonani Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) represents a major risk factor for bone fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as after kidney transplantation. However, modalities...

.... It is unknown whether the same relationship exists in kidney transplantation (KTx) patients. The aim of this observational study was to examine this relationship between MA and both mortality and renal outcomes in patients after KTx. Methods: Four hundred eighty-six (290 male; 196 female) patients aged 48 ± 12...

..., which shows a greater prevalence in kidney-transplanted (KT) patients than in the general population. The study of this tumor in KT patients may allow us to understand the influence of the tumor inflammatory microenvironment on cancer behavior, and to design new image analysis methods to determine...

... to the graft plays a significant role in the intraoperative management during kidney transplantation, but the use of positive inotropic drugs in kidney transplant patients has been studied less. We investigated the protective effects of renal function by means of cardiac inotropes in kidney transplant patients...

... for adverse cardiovascular events in patients waitlisted for kidney transplantation (KT). Although KT reduces cardiovascular risk, these patients still have a higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than the general population. This concerning situation is due to a high burden of traditional...

... of bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: In a post hoc analysis of the Prolia for Osteoporosis of Transplant Operated Patient study, we analyzed the effect of denosumab withdrawal on BMD changes. Twenty-five de novo kidney transplant recipients (KTR) who were treated for 1 year with 2 six-monthly doses...

... filtration rate (GFR), as well as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients after kidney transplantation. Negative correlations were also found between serum FGF21 concentrations and GFR in patients after Tx, while positive correlations were observed between FGF21 concentrations and lean body...

...). It occurs in males, who are hemizygous. In patients who develop ESRD, a deceased donor kidney transplant cures the disease. Females are obligate carriers of the mutated gene, and some show a mild Dent’s disease phenotype. There may be reason for concern when considering a female obligate carrier (i.e...
