Abstract Introduction Sjögren’s disease (SD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory that affects epithelial tissues, mainly salivary and lacrimal glands. It also presents extraglandular manifestations. The main renal manifestation tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN), which can manifest as tubular acidosis (RTA). Urinary citrate may be a biomarker of RTA in these patients. objective this study was to evaluate whether hypocitraturia predictive sample patients with SD tertiary hospital...
Kidney shortage for pediatric kidney transplantation (PKT) entails the need to use low-weight and age donors, despite apprehension. The aim of this study was analyze deceased donor transplantations (pDDKT) outcomes in first year after procedure, stratified by age. Retrospective cohort pDDKTs carried out between January 2013, 2018, at a PKT reference hospital Southern Brazil. Donors were divided into group 1 (≤ 6 years), 2 (> years); analysis same period. There 143 pDDKTs; 51 (35.66%) 1; 92...
Introduction: Kidney transplantation in patients with end-stage kidney disease improves quality of life and is associated an increase survival rates. Malignancies are one the three major causes renal recipient´s death a functioning graft after cardiovascular diseases infections. The incidence post-transplant malignancies (PTM) varies between 2.0 30%, depending on characteristics population. Aim study: aim this study to analyze PTM solid organs hematological origin, excluding non-melanoma...
Direct-acting antivirals are the gold-standard treatment for chronic HCV infections, but few studies have investigated their use on kidney and liver transplant recipients. We conducted a real-world study to evaluate rates of sustained virological response with direct-acting in Moreover, it also aimed (DAAs) interference immunosuppressant levels describe frequency adverse events. As part this retrospective observational cohort, we included adult patients that had undergone (KT) or (LT) at our...
Abstract Introduction: Sjögren's disease (SD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory that affects epithelial tissues, especially salivary and lacrimal glands, as well extra glandular manifestations. The main renal manifestation tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN), which may present clinically tubular acidosis (RTA). Urinary citrate be early biomarker of RTA in these patients. aim this study was to evaluate whether hypocitraturia a predictive ATR sample patients with SD tertiary hospital...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a prevalent infection after kidney transplantation (KT) in high-burden countries. Latent tuberculosis (LTBI) screening includes previous TB history, chest radiograph findings, and tuberculin test (TST) and/or interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) results. We aimed to compare our routine LTBI of KT candidates living donors (LD) with their IGRA results, evaluate if this would improve isoniazid (INH) treatment referral.We evaluated adult LD complete QuantiFERON-TB® Gold...
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an important infectious complication after kidney transplantation (KT). Latent tuberculosis infection (LTI) screening and treatment fundamental to prevent post-transplant active disease. Methods: We described a cohort of adult KT recipients from April 4th, 2014 October 31st, 2018, with follow-up until 2019, regarding pre-transplant LTI posttransplant tuberculosis. Results: There were 986 performed in the study period. 189 positive screening, 488 negative 309...
