The early identification of a subclinical rejection (SCR) can improve the long-term outcome transplanted kidney through intensified immunosuppression. However, only approved diagnostic method is protocol biopsy, which remains an invasive and not without minor and/or major complications. biopsy defined as sampling allograft tissue at pre-established times even in absence impaired renal function; however, it does avoid histological damage. Therefore, discovery new possible biomarkers useful...
Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are ultra-rare chronic kidney diseases with an overall poor prognosis, approximately 40-50% of patients progressing to failure within 10 years diagnosis. C3G is characterized by a high rate disease recurrence in the transplanted kidney. However, there lack published data on clinical outcomes pediatric population following transplantation.
The relatively rare proximal 17q12 microdeletion, including the deletion of HNF1B gene, is associated with renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (RCAD). This genomic rearrangement results in a wide range phenotypes, diabetes, which are consistent maturity-onset young type 5 (MODY5), Mullerian aplasia/dysgenesis, autism spectrum disorder schizophrenia, speech delay, learning difficulties, transient neonatal hypercalcemia, cholestasis. We describe girl microdeletion identified using CGH array...
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the leading cause of premature kidney transplant failure. The role alloantibodies against Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) has been a primary focus in AMR. More recently autoantibodies and angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R) endothelin A (ETAR) have linked to poor allograft outcomes transplantation. Nevertheless, evidence supporting routine testing remains insufficient. ELISA for anti-AT1R anti-ETAR antibodies was performed pediatric renal cohort. We...
