Deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) is common in developed Western countries with high rates. However, the utilization of deceased organs suboptimal Asia, due to a multitude factors. Coherent policies are integral development DDKT programs and deterrence commercialization, but most still at an infancy formative stage Asia. This review article identifies glass ceiling effects social, cultural, religious, political, technical factors hampering progress Additionally, it reviews history...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant psychological distress globally. Our study assessed the prevalence of and associated factors during COVID-19 among kidney transplant recipients donors.
The COVID-19 pandemic is protracted and episodic surges from viral variants continue to place significant strain on healthcare systems. vaccines, antiviral therapy monoclonal antibodies have significantly reduced associated morbidity mortality. Concurrently, telemedicine has gained acceptance as a model of care tool for remote monitoring. These advances allow us safely transit our inpatient-based infected kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) hospital-at-home (HaH) care.KTRs with PCR-proven...
BACKGROUND:In solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) recipients, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can contribute to a severe clinical course an increased risk of death. Thus, patients awaiting SOT or HSCT face the dilemma choosing between life-saving treatment that presents significant threat COVID-19 waitlist dropout, progression disease, mortality. The lack established literature on complicates issue as patients, particularly those with inadequate health...

Adenovirus is an important cause of haemorrhagic cystitis in kidney transplant recipients. The optimal treatment for adenovirus-associated (AAHC) unknown. Intravenous cidofovir may be effective, but nephrotoxicity a major concern. use intravesical viral has been reported haematopoietic stem cell recipients and associated with lower risk nephrotoxicity, its not We report the AAHC recipients, along review literature.

Background:Early post-operative hyperglycemia is commonly encountered in patients without pre-existing diabetes mellitus who are undergoing kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect early on graft and patient survival after transplantation our center. Material Methods:This a single-center retrospective review solitary recipients transplanted center between January 1998 December 2007. Of total 432 patients, 377 were eligible for study. Fasting plasma glucose...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic curtailed transplant activities worldwide, driven by concerns about increased COVID-19-related mortality among kidney recipients (KTRs), infections originating from donors, and decreased availability of surgical intensive care resources as healthcare are reallocated for response. We examined the outcomes KTRs at our center before during COVID-19 pandemic.We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study examining characteristics patients...
Background: Previous multinational studies of COVID-19 infections in kidney transplant recipients (KTX) from Asia suggest that the mortality rate is similar to experienced West despite a younger population with lesser comorbidities. However, these were performed during era where vaccination and better therapeutics for not available. This study seek determine whether infected KTX have improved different eras therapies. Method: Data 657 15 centres Singapore (n=196), Philippines (n=115),...
Introduction: Since 30th December 2020, Singapore has embarked on an intensive mRNA COVID-19 vaccination program that resulted in 95% and 70% of its eligible population receiving 2 3 doses vaccine respectfully. However, the impact outcomes infection kidney transplant recipients from Asia remains unknown. This study seeks to determine clinical whether status can be used as a predictor for good outcomes. Methodology: undergone 4 waves driven by imported cases (2020), outbreaks foreign worker...
