Background Kidney transplant (KT) recipients are considered a high-risk group for unfavorable outcomes in the course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Aim To describe clinical aspects and COVID-19 among KT recipients. Methods This multicenter cohort study enrolled 1,680 diagnosed with between March November 2020, from 35 Brazilian centers. The main outcome was 90-day cumulative incidence death, entire according to acute kidney injury (AKI) renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement....
Background Kidney biopsy registries are valuable tools for guiding clinical practice and developing health policies. In 2021, the Brazilian Society of Nephrology (SBN) created Biopsy Registry (BKBR). This is first BKBR report, presenting patient data from 2021. Methods a web-based platform hosted on BSN website, which contains demographics, data, frequency, distribution histologic diagnosis adult native kidney biopsies. Results Of 1012 cases registered in 954 were evaluated after excluding...
INTRODUÇÃO: A desnutrição protéico-calórica, o processo inflamatório sistêmico e os distúrbios metabólicos são frequentes em pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica terapia dialítica, contribuindo para sua morbimortalidade. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: No presente estudo, a prevalência de renais crônicos hemodiálise um único centro no Nordeste do Brasil foi avaliada segundo três diferentes técnicas avaliação subjetiva global (ASG), índice massa corporal (IMC), percentual peso atual relação ao...
This study evaluated the risk factors for delayed graft function (DGF) in a country where its incidence is high, detailing donor maintenance-related (DMR) variables and using machine learning (ML) methods beyond traditional regression-based models.A total of 443 brain dead deceased kidney transplants (KT) from two Brazilian centers were retrospectively analyzed following DMR predictive modeling: arterial blood gas pH, serum sodium, glucose, urine output, mean pressure, vasopressors use,...
Background Severe Strongyloides stercoralis infection in kidney transplant recipients is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, although little known about the risk factors for such infection. Methodology/Principal findings This was a retrospective, multicenter, case–control study which we assessed clinical outcomes of severe S. infections Brazil. We included 138 recipients: 46 cases 92 controls. Among cases, median number days from transplantation to diagnosis 117...
Visceral leishmaniasis is a disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania sp. and transmitted Lutzomyia longipalpis (sand fly). In renal transplant recipients, visceral causes severe damage to liver, spleen, hematopoietic system, as well poor outcomes for patients with transplanted kidneys. This study describes largest series of cases in providing important information about diagnostic routines therapeutic strategies this patient population.
In Brief Background The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in renal transplant recipients and analyze impacts disease on graft success patient health. Methods This retrospective, case-control examined 120 patients a VL endemic area. treatment group included (n=20) who developed after transplantation, control (n=100) composed without VL. evaluated socioeconomic, demographic, clinical, laboratory variables. Bivariate analysis multiple logistic...
To present clinical characteristics from renal transplant recipients with dengue fever and its impact on graft function.We retrospectively evaluated 11 (RTR) infection confirmed by laboratory test, between January 2007 July 2012, transplanted in the Renal Transplant Center of Walter Cantídio University Hospital Federal Ceará.Positive serology (IgM) was found all patients. The mean time 43 mo. Fever presented Nine patients classical two (18%) hemorrhagic fever. All cases had satisfactory...
Abstract: Introduction: Diagnosis and staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important for management prevention renal progression. It unclear whether K/DOQI guidelines the National Kidney Foundation are applicable to diagnosis CKD in transplant recipients (RTRs) which method most appropriate estimating glomerular filtration. Objectives: To determine prevalence RTRs, according guidelines, complications CKD. Subjects methods: This cross‐sectional study included RTRs at least six months...
Introdução: A Síndrome Metabólica (SM) tem alta prevalência em hemodiálise (HD) e é fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, que são a principal causa mortalidade na doença renal crônica (DRC). Objetivo: Analisar frequência do diagnóstico SM pacientes diferença segundo os critérios NCEPATP III IDF. Métodos: Pacientes duas clínicas Fortaleza, com tempo diálise superior 3 meses idade maior ou igual 18 anos, foram submetidos à medição da circunferência abdominal, pressão arterial (PA),...
Pre-dialysis albumin is likely to be falsely low due a dilution effect, making its usefulness in assessing protein status questionable. OBJEVTIVES: The purpose of this study was assess whether post-dialysis would better marker malnutrition and risk mortality, when compared pre-dialysis albumin.We evaluated the correlation between pre- following parameters: body mass index (BMI), adequacy muscle arm circumference (MAC) tricipital skinfold (TS) 50th percentile (P50), C-reactive (CRP), phase...
Kidney transplants with expanded criteria donor have been associated improved patient survival compared to those who remain on dialysis.To compare renal function and of the kidney graft deceased standard over a year in single transplant center.255 recipients were included study between years 2011 2013 they separated into two groups according type (expanded - ECD SCD).231 (90.6%) performed (SCD) 24 (9.4%) (ECD). There was no difference prevalence delayed DGF (62.9% vs. 70.8%; p = 0.44)....
