Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a potent immunosuppressive agent used in renal transplantation. Gastrointestinal and hematological side effects are commonly observed, but hepatotoxicity has not been reported. In this study, we assessed MMF-related transplant recipients. A total of 124 transplantation recipients (RTRs) were evaluated for elevated liver enzymes associated with MMF, 79 patients enrolled to the study. Patients MMF 2 g/day. The who had progressive increase after their AST, ALT,...
Background and Purpose: Renal cysts are common in the adult population. Symptomatic traditionally have been treated by percutaneous aspiration with injection of sclerosant agents. Our aim was to compare efficacy side effects ethanol sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STDS) as sclerosants for symptomatic simple renal cyst. Patients Methods: Sixty-five patients 68 were included this study. An 8F pigtail catheter inserted into cyst under ultrasound guidance followed fluid. Either 95% (N = 34) or 3%...
Previous studies have demonstrated that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) anti-inflammatory effects. One specific PUFA, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), shows both and antioxidant properties. In the testes, inflammatory mediators are known to increase when orchitis is induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This study aimed determine whether properties of ALA could a protective effect against LPS-induced in mice. The mice were divided into untreated control, ALA-treated groups. Orchitis...
<i>Background:</i> The aim of the study was to evaluate pain scores and complications transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy compare lithotomy position (LP) versus left lateral decubitis (LLDP). <i>Methods:</i> A total 340 patients were referred for TRUS-guided biopsy. In group 1 (n = 170), biopsies performed in LP 2 170) LLDP 170). 68 patients, repeated. We constituted two additional groups: 3 33) underwent LLDP, respectively, 4 35) LP,...
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist used in chronic inflammatory diseases and various cancer treatments. Although the main mechanism of toxic effect MTX not known, it stated that causes oxidative stress inflammation. Alpha-linolenic (ALA) protects against stress, apoptosis, For this reason, we aimed to find out useful ALA on MTX-induced nephrotoxicity MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mice were divided into 4 groups randomly. control group was treated with physiological saline solution;...
Cystoscopy is one of the most common examinations in urologic outpatient clinics. Various anesthetic approaches have been used to make cystoscopy more tolerable for patients. The aim present prospective randomized study was evaluate efficacy lidocaine hydrochloride gel compared dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with rigid cystoscopy.Male patients requiring 17F were eligible inclusion this study. A total 140 divided into two groups: group 1 (n=70) received approximately 11 mL 2% intraurethrally,...
In large patient populations, it has been established that calculated (c) and measured (m) plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were comparable, but this issue is not known to be tested in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Herein we aimed compare the LDL-C was by Friedewald formula (FF) direct measurement RTRs. Methods: method FF 193 fasting venous blood samples obtained from 103 Patients had triglyceride (TG) <400 mg/dL. treated with prednisolone, calcineurin...
To investigate the effect of cyclosporine A (Cyc A) on development fibroadenomas, 30 renal transplant patients and 20 chronic failure dialysis were breast examined with ultrasonography and/or mammography. Of patients, 17 receiving Cyc A-based combination therapy for immunosuppression. All female age range 29.7 ± 9.2 years in group 33.95 9.91 group. Eight had 5 them having bilateral lesions. None other those non-Cyc fibroadenomas. significant difference fibroadenoma incidence...
Background and Objectives: Alpha-linolenic acid which is one of polyunsaturated fatty acids very important for the continuity human life.Alpha-linolenic a protective food heart cardiovascular system.In addition, this substance powerful anti-inflammatory agent.Increases in inflammatory agents are accompanied cystitis induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Therefore, study aimed to determine whether alpha-linolenic acid, has properties, effect against LPS-induced cystitis.Materials Methods:...
The worldwide shortage of organs available for transplantation has led to the use living-unrelated kidney donors. In this context, spouses represent an important source organ We compared allograft outcomes spousal donor (SDT) with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy and living related (LRDT) triple immonosuppression basiliximab, in addition. Among 335 deceased transplantations performed between April 2001 June 2010, there were 274 including 34 SDT 240 LRDT. minimum follow-up...
Purpose: The aim of the present randomized study was to evaluate efficacy lidocaine gel compared with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy in patients anorectal pathologies. Patients and Methods: Sixty-two were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group 1 given 10 mL 2% intrarectally minutes before biopsy. 2 intrarectal 40% DMSO an amount that procedure. degree pain rated by using a 10-point visual analog scale. Results: scores probe...
