... or azathioprine, tacrolimus (Tac) or cyclosporine (CsA), basiliximab, and anti-thymocyte globulin for preformed DSA cases. Histological evaluation of allograft biopsies at Toho University Omori Medical Center was performed by hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, periodic acid methenamine silver...

...Roslyn B. Mannon Delayed allograft function (DGF) is defined as dialysis treatment in the kidney transplant recipient in the first week following transplantation. With the demand for kidney transplants growing and the supply limited, as well as implementation of a national allocation scheme...

...Roslyn B. Mannon With the growing wait list of individuals waiting for kidney transplantation, there has been renewed interest in the quality and function of donor organs. In particular, concern about the development of delayed allograft function (DGF) after transplantation continues to lead...

...Wai-Choong Lye; See-Odd Leong; Evan J.C. Lee Renal artery stenosis of the transplant kidney occurs in approximately 6% of renal allograft recipients. Severe bilateral renal artery stenosis and unilateral renal artery stenosis to a single functioning kidney have been described as causes of recurrent...

...T.J. Buselmeier; R.M. Schauer; S.M. Mauer; F.C. Goetz; R.L. Simmons; J.S. Najarian; C.M. Kjellstrand Although the renal allograft represents only a single-functioning kidney, it lends itself readily to biopsy from a percutaneous approach. Previous contraindications to percutaneous biopsy...

...A. Rashid; D.P.S. Sengar; R.A. Couture; G.A. Posen; J.E. Harris The effect of the length of hemodialysis on the outcome of renal transplant was evaluated in 43 recipients of renal allograft. 22 out of 23 patients (95.7%) dialyzed for longer than one year had an excellent renal function at one year...

..., it may be underreported with more realistic recurrent rates oscillating from 2.8 to 8.7%. We report the case of a patient with SLE who lost her first allograft 4 years after transplantation with a diagnosis of de novo fibrillary glomerulopathy. She underwent a second renal transplantation and her renal...

... tubular rejection. We report the case of a kidney pancreas transplant recipient who developed de novo C1q nephropathy, in the setting of BK polyomaviral interstitial nephritis. He presented with renal allograft dysfunction and a kidney biopsy was performed. It was interpreted as acute cellular rejection...

... transplantation models. Methods: We used Lewis rats as recipients and Wistar rats as donors. Group I: controls; group II: isograft model; group III: allograft model; group IV: as group III +10 mg/kg/day of ciclosporin A (CsA), and group V: as group III + CsA administration for 5 days postoperatively...

... days after transplantation. Conclusions: These observations suggest that metanephric tissue may be less immunogenic than adult kidney. Transplantation of metanephroi represents a new development that could lead to a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of chronic renal failure. Allograft...
