This study investigated variables associated with mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) diagnosed post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and a simultaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia. was retrospective cohort enrolling KTRs PTLD between 2018 2020. Outcome: death within two years after diagnosis. Among 1,625 who collected EBV viremia (by PCR, 2018-2020) for any reason, 238 (14.6%) had positive viral load 41 (17.2%) PTLD. These patients were 40.1 old at diagnosis...

Kidney transplant (KT) recipients are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 because of their immunosuppressed state. A 42-year-old KT patient was diagnosed with three months after KT. Despite lymphopenia and several factors, he had a mild disease course. Nasopharyngeal real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction SARS-CoV-2 became negative 48 days detection. IgG antibodies day 40. TTV DNA load the onset reduced its resolution. This is first report where measured during course...
Abstract Background Assessing subjective social status (SSS) may be easily accommodated in the context of a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS). To our knowledge, no prior studies have examined association SSS health Angola. Subjective socioeconomic measures provide rapid assessment relevant construct, important for studying inequalities. In this study, we addressed determinants by examining relationship between objective status, reported healthcare-seeking behaviour. Methods...
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently change replacement (RRT) therapy modality due to medical or social reasons. We aimed evaluate the outcomes of patients under peritoneal dialysis (PD) according preceding RRT modality.
Introdução: Pacientes com doença renal em estágio terminal (DRET) frequentemente mudam de modalidade terapia substitutiva (TRS) por razões médicas ou sociais. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar desfechos pacientes diálise peritoneal (DP) segundo a anterior TRS. Métodos: Realizamos estudo retrospectivo observacional unicêntrico, prevalentes DP, 1º janeiro 2010 31 dezembro 2017, acompanhados 60 meses até saírem DP. foram divididos três grupos acordo TRS anterior: hemodiálise prévia (HD), transplante...
Abstract Background and Aims Incremental peritoneal dialysis (IPD) is based on the prescription of a dose lower than standard “full dose” (SPD). The achievement individualized clearance goals combination renal clearance. IPD as initial PD strategy seems to be convenient resource-sparing technique, but its impact in long term outcomes environment lacks evidence. aim this study evaluate analyze potential approach costs, total plastic waste, water consumption. Method Single-center observational...
Resumo Introdução: Este estudo investigou variáveis associadas à mortalidade em receptores de transplante renal (RTR) diagnosticados com doença linfoproliferativa pós-transplante (PTLD, do inglês post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease) e viremia simultânea pelo vírus Epstein-Barr (EBV). Métodos: Estudo coorte retrospectivo incluindo RTR PTLD entre 2018 2020. Desfecho: óbito até dois anos após diagnóstico. Resultados: Entre 1.625 que realizaram coleta para EBV (por PCR, 2018–2020) por...
Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance is defined as kidney injury due to underlying immunoglobulin-secreting plasma-cell or B-cell clone. Here, we report the case a patient with incomplete Fanconi Syndrome diagnosed two months after Kidney Transplantation (KT)
Introduction: Healthcare facilities are among the greatest contributors to resource consumption and waste generation. Nephrology is one of most polluting medical areas, mostly due hemodialysis (HD). Incremental (iHD) has gained attention several clinical advantages, by decreasing number sessions while patient still residual kidney function. Beyond these benefits, this regimen might also be both more economical environmentally friendly. The aim study was evaluate potential reduction...
Renal artery thrombosis is a rare vascular event that precipitates renal infarction. Although in up to one third of cases the etiology not identified, lesions, cardioembolism and acquired thrombophilias are main causes. A bilateral simultaneous idiopathic an unlikely coincidence. We present two patients with acute unknown etiology. Cardiac embolism, thrombophilia occult neoplasm workups were negative. Both temporarily hemodialysis-dependent partially recovered function under conservative...
Abstract Background and Aims Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently need to change dialysis modality. While the transition from peritoneal (PD) hemodialysis (HD) is not an uncommon occurrence, opposite less frequent much studied. The aim of this study was compare outcomes patients who started replacement therapy (RRT) PD transitioned HD PD. Method Retrospective single-center cohort between 1st January 2010 31st December 2017, a median follow-up 60 months. were separated in...
Abstract Background and Aims Despite great advances in graft survival, kidney transplant (KT) recipients frequently return to dialysis. The aim of this study was perform an analysis peritoneal dialysis (PD) outcomes patients with a failed KT. Method Single-center retrospective cohort end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who started PD from 1st January 2010 31st December 2017. Two groups were analyzed - no previous replacement therapy (RRT) first -, transitioned directly transplant. Results Among...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bilateral acute renal artery thrombosis (BARAT) is a rare and catastrophic condition. This diagnosis often delayed or unrecognized the true incidence may be underestimated. To best of our knowledge, only three cases are reported in literature—all treated conservatively. We present two BARAT who recovered kidney function under conservative approach. METHOD Data was obtained from electronical medical record. RESULTS: Case 1:A 73-year-old male with no history...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lipid abnormalities are a defining feature of nephrotic syndrome. In patients, changes such as increased total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) decreased high-density (HDL-C) well HDL-C: TC ratio more frequently found than in healthy subjects. The aims this study were to evaluate the differences serum lipidic profile at baseline (diagnosis) among each primary glomerulopathies (PG) presenting with syndrome (NS) its...
