Renal transplantation is the definitive treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It associated better quality of life and patient survival. Nevertheless, these benefits come rising concerns about weight gain metabolic abnormalities, which adversely impact transplant outcomes.The objective this study to estimate incidence in first year post-renal addition assessment potential risk factors resulting outcome graft.We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort all 295 who...
In response to the global Mpox outbreaks, this survey aimed assess knowledge, perceptions, and advocacy of vaccines among solid organ transplant healthcare workers (HCWs) in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional was conducted HCWs Arabia from 15 August 5 September 2022. total 199 responses were received participants primarily working kidney (54.8%) liver (14.6%) units. The found that most aware 2022 outbreak, but majority more concerned about COVID-19 than Mpox. While thought laboratory personnel...
Introduction Organ transplantation is a critical intervention for patients with end-stage organ failure, but misconceptions and knowledge gaps often hinder donation. This study evaluates the acceptability effectiveness of an donation campaign focusing on addressing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods A two-day awareness was conducted shopping mall, featuring four stations providing information various aspects Participants completed self-administered, researcher-developed, questionnaire before...
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) were developed as alternatives to vitamin K antagonists, primarily warfarin, they do not require routine monitoring and have limited drug-drug drug-food interactions. However, the efficacy safety of these agents in kidney transplantation are well studied.To assess profile NOACs for patients who had transplantation, provide recommendations guidelines on therapeutic strategies patients.This was a retrospective study carried out among adult actively following...
Kidney transplant recipients appear to be at high risk for critical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness. They are considered a priority COVID-19 vaccination. Only few studies report on the safety and efficacy of vaccine in these patients.In this prospective observational study, we measured anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (anti-SARS-CoV-2) spike-specific IgG post first second mRNA vaccines 113 kidney compared them 62 healthy volunteers.After vaccine, SARS-CoV-2-specific...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in the first 6 months after renal transplantation, and there only limited data about UTIs transplantation Saudi Arabia general.A retrospective study from January 2017 to May 2020 with 6-month follow-up.279 transplant recipients were included. Mean age was 43.4 ± 16.0 years, and114 (40.9%) women. stents inserted routinely during removed 35.3 28 days postoperatively. Ninety-seven patients (35%) developed urinary six transplantation. Of those who...
The first organ transplantation performed in Saudi Arabia was a live-donor kidney transplant 1979. Shortly thereafter, the religious authorities approved concept of brain death and supported broader acceptance donation. Subsequently, tissue solid programs have been initiated throughout Kingdom (KSA), offering kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, heart transplantation.1-3 Nevertheless, deceased-organ donation rates remain low KSA. Several survey-based cross-sectional studies geared toward...
Introduction Living donor kidney transplantation is the best replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. It offers more benefits than deceased transplantation. However, living donors (LKDs) undergo an extensive evaluation to ensure their suitability donation, and this can result in rejection of many potential donors. Aim The aim study was recognize reasons declining LKDs our Organ Transplant Center at King Abdulaziz Medical City. Settings Design This a retrospective...
Purpose. To evaluate the impact of early (<3 weeks) versus late (>3 urinary stent removal on tract infections (UTIs) post renal transplantation. Methods. A retrospective study was performed including all adult transplants who were transplanted between January 2017 and May 2020 with a minimum 6-month follow-up at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results. total 279 kidney recipients included in stratified into 114 group (ESR) 165 (LSR). Mean age 43.4 ± 15.8; women: n:...
BACKGROUND:Kidney transplant services all over the world were severely impacted by coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The optimum management of kidney recipients with remains uncertain. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We conducted a multicenter cohort study infection in Saudi Arabia. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to predictors graft and patient outcomes at 28 days after diagnosis. RESULTS:We included 130 recipients, mean age 48.7(±14.4) years. Fifty-nine patients managed home daily...
Parvovirus B19 (PB19) is a single-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Erythrovirus genus within Parvoviridae family. Clinical presentations associated with PB19 infection vary greatly, depending on infected individual’s age and hematologic immunologic status. The limited data available regarding consensus screening algorithms indications in donors recipients prior kidney transplantation makes diagnosis management challenging. We presented 3 cases of pure red cell aplasia due parvovirus...
We present a 38-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with complaints of snake bite. He developed acute kidney injury (AKI) and biopsy showed necrotizing glomerulonephritis, which is rarely reported in AKI after
Abstract Background The supply-demand mismatch between organ donor and patient waiting for transplant has led to the growth of tourism. This type is considered unethical illegal, as it usually performed in poor environments carries a higher risk infectious, vascular, immunological complications. Methods In this single-centered retrospective cohort study, we compared patients who underwent tourism were transplanted locally followed up our hospital from January 2015 December 2018. Result A...
A 53-year-old man underwent a living donor kidney transplantation in the right iliac fossa 25 years prior to presentation. He had been noting an inguinal bugle that became more prominent as day progressed, and it regressed at night. Upon further investigations, ultrasound of allograft revealed moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis. computed tomography scan herniation bladder part transplanted ureter within supravesical/direct space. Lichtenstein-like fashion repair was performed, patient...
Abstract This case report discusses the management of a 46-year-old male patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and high body mass index, who underwent semi-simultaneous procedure involving hand-assisted laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy to alleviate severe abdominal symptoms prepare for transplantation, all using same incision. is first reported occurrence such in Saudi Arabia. Post-operatively, made successful recovery excellent function no complications.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major public health problem, which primary concern of hospitalized or recently patients. Pulmonary embolism resulting from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the most common preventable cause death occurring in hospital. System redesign suggested to improve compliance with practice guidelines. This study assessed impact ward-based Knowledge Translation (KT) monitor on implementations evidence-based thromboprophylaxis guidelines and its compliance....
Introduction Immediately after kidney donation, the remaining will undergo hyperfiltration and work at a higher level to compensate for other kidney's loss. It is estimated that 70% of baseline renal function before donation recovered post-donation. However, factors determine post-donation compensation are not well understood. Methods We conducted retrospective study 190 consecutive donors who completed one-year follow-up in order predict affecting post-contralateral nephrectomy. Results...
