Kidney Transplantation
MicroRNAs as biomarkers of kidney allograft injuries ischemia reperfusion and acute rejection
Authors: Patricia Milhoransa, Carolina Caruccio Montanari, Mariane Dos Santos, Marina Sieber, Roberto Ceratti Manfro
Renal transplantation provides a significant increase in life expectancy for patients with end-stage kidney diseases. Despite the unequivocal progresses made in the last decades, many grafts injuries still jeopardize graft function leading to its loss. Currently, the allograft biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing such conditions. However, it has man.. Read More»

Application value of multislice spiral computed tomography angiography in the evaluation of renal artery variation in living donor kidney transplantation
Authors: X.Y. Zhao, J. Tian, Y.H. Ru, B. Sun, C.F. Sun, A.M. Zhang and Y.H. Shao
This study aims to investigate the accuracy and value of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) angiography in the evaluation of renal artery variation in living donor kidney transplantation. Two hundred seventy-three kidney transplantation donors underwent preoperative MSCT scanning. Two doctors determined the running direction and variation of the re.. Read More»

Effect of pregnane X receptor polymorphisms on tacrolimus blood concentrations and the resulting adverse reactions in kidney transplantation recipients
Authors: Z.P. Wang, M. Zhao, Q.S. Qu and S.Z. Miao
We investigated the effect of pregnane X receptor (PXR) polymorphisms on tacrolimus (FK506) blood trough concentrations and the associated adverse reactions in kidney transplantation recipients (KTRs). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect the genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphism loci in 336 KTR.. Read More»

Ultrasonic imaging characteristics of transplanted kidneys with delayed graft function
Authors: W.X. Liang, M.J. Cai, L. Jiang, Y.Q. Xie, W.L. Yuan and H. Zhang
We investigated the ultrasonic imaging characteristics of transplanted kidneys with delayed graft function (DGF). Ultrasonography was performed in 44 patients after kidney transplantation, and a time-intensity analysis was performed to compare the differences between patients with normal graft function (NGF) and those with DGF..
