Kidney transplant recipients may be at a high risk of developing critical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness due to chronic immunosuppression and comorbidities. We identified hospitalized adult kidney 12 centers in the United States, Italy, Spain who tested positive for COVID-19. Clinical presentation, laboratory values, immunosuppression, treatment strategies were reviewed, predictors poor clinical outcomes determined through multivariable analyses. Among 9845 across centers, 144...
Background and objectives In patients with kidney failure due to IgA nephropathy, deposits can recur in a subsequent transplant. The incidence, effect, risk factors of nephropathy recurrence is unclear, because most studies have been single center sample sizes are relatively small. Design, setting, participants, & measurements We performed multicenter, international, retrospective study determine the factors, treatment response recurrent after transplantation. Data were collected from...
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, and frequently recurs after transplant. Available data originated from small retrospective cohort studies or registry analyses. Therefore, uncertainties remain on risk factors for MN recurrence response to therapy. Within the Post-Transplant Glomerular Disease (TANGO) Consortium, we conducted multicenter study examining rate, factors, treatment. This screened 22,921 patients across three continents included 194 who...
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome ( PRES) can present with focal neurologic deficits, mimicking a stroke and often represent diagnostic challenge when presenting atypically. A high degree of suspicion is required in the clinical setting order to yield diagnosis. Cerebral CT perfusion (CTP) utilized many institutions as first line acute imaging. CTP has proved be very sensitive measure cerebral blood flow dynamics, most commonly employed delineate infarcted tissue from penumbra...
Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While liver transplantation the definitive treatment, continuous terlipressin infusion for HRS-AKI may provide benefit and, as such, was assessed in a population composed of candidates transplant (LT). Fifty hospitalized LT-eligible patients received single bolus followed by infusion. Acute-on-chronic failure grade 3, serum creatinine (SCr)>5.0 mg/dL, or Model End-Stage Liver Disease...
Kidney dysfunction is not uncommon in patients with advanced heart failure. Simultaneous kidney and transplants (SKHTs) have gained acceptance as a treatment for end-stage failure severe dysfunction. United States saw rise of 650% SKHT from 2000 to 2019. Despite increasing number SKHT, the selection criteria remain poorly defined vary across transplant centers.We evaluated patient cardiac allograft survival alone (HTA) using Network Organ Sharing (UNOS) database. We then performed subgroup...
Background In End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients, the coexistence of AF significantly elevates risks stroke (4.8 - 5.6 per 100 person?years) and mortality (26.9 person?years). Current literature lacks insights into pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) outcomes in this population. We aimed to assess PVI ESRD patients with AF. Methods Materials included all adult a pre-existing diagnosis at least one prior admission for from United States Data System (USRDS) registry stratified them according...
Pediatric cancer poses a significant global challenge due to stark disparities in treatment outcomes between higher-income and lower-income regions. As such, this review examines the critical factors contributing staggering 70 percent mortality rate among pediatric patients Uganda.2,3 This identifies key institutional, national, patient barriers, including inadequate diagnostic facilities, limited access specialized care, severe shortage of oncologists. Furthermore, it highlights impact...
e23357 Background: The incidence of malignancy in solid organ transplant recipients tends to be higher than the general population. Malignancy is third leading cause death among recipients. Although kidney may have improved survival and quality life compared dialysis patients, they are at a two-to-four times risk developing malignancy. Furthermore, outcomes after diagnosis not well described literature. In this study, we review lung cancer patients track patient Methods: We perused UNOS/OPTN...
Individuals on immunosuppressive (IS) therapy have increased mortality from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, and delayed viral clearance may lead to new variants. IS reduces antibody responses following disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination; however, a comprehensive assessment of vaccine immunogenicity is lacking. Here we show that reduced neutralizing, binding, nonneutralizing functions in addition CD4 CD8 T-cell interferon-γ...
Kidney transplantation has a survival benefit for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and end-stage kidney disease, however increased rates of rejection remain an issue. Questions regarding the impact induction immunosuppression therapy antiretroviral (ARV) choice on long-term outcomes.
