Efficacy of renal preservation: comparative study of Celsior and University of ...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the efficacy of Celsior and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions on the perfusion and cold storage of renal grafts for human transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective analyses of 313 kidney transplants were performed between 2002 and 2005; group A (n = 160), UW solution and group B (n = 153), Celsior solution were used in the preservation of the organs.

Simultaneous renal transplantation and native nephrectomy in patients with auto...

Our objective was to study the influence on transplant outcome of unilateral native nephrectomy of massively enlarged kidneys at the time of renal transplantation among patients with end-stage renal disease owing to autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied 159 renal transplants in patients with ADPKD divided into two groups according to the need to perform a unilate...

Cadaveric donor factor variations during a 12-year period: influence on kidney ...

Our purpose was to evaluate changes in cadaveric donor factors between 1993 and 2004 and their impact on the short- and long-term outcomes of renal transplants in a single center. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cadaveric renal transplants performed in our unit between 1993 and 2004 were divided in two groups of identical length: A (n = 455; 1993-1998) and B (n = 465; 1999-2004). Major differences related to donor, graft...

Pediatric renal transplantation: comparative study with renal transplantation i...

PURPOSE: To retrospectively review our experience with pediatric renal transplantation and to compare the results with the adult population.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed 103 transplants in recipients above 60 years of age for the influence of key factors related to the graft and patient. The results were compared with 1060 transplant recipients aged 18 to 59 years. RESULTS: The mean ages were 62.93 and 40.35 years for the...
