Kidney transplantation with corticosteroid-free maintenance immunosuppression: ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a corticosteroid-free maintenance immunosuppression on graft survival in kidney transplantation. We analyzed 79 patients who were transplanted between June 1, 2006 and May 31, 2007. We excluded hyperimmunized patients, second transplantations, living donors, and black recipients. Patients underwent induction with thymoglobulin or basiliximab, followed by tre...

Renal transplantation with expanded criteria donors: the experience of one port...

BACKGROUND: The shortage of kidneys available for transplantation has led to enlarged criteria donors (ECD): namely, donors older than 60 years or aged between 50 and 59 years with 2 of the following characteristics-hypertension, predonation serum creatinine level higher than 1.5 mg/dL or cerebrovascular disease as the cause of death. The aim of this study was to analyze renal transplants using ECD compared wit...

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: Between January 1981 and August 2003, 74 renal transplants were performed in patients < or =18 years at the time of the transplant--the pediatric group versus 1153 patients in the adult group. We analyzed various risk factors for actuarial kidney gra...

Transplantação renal em doentes com diabetes mellitus tipo I e tipo II

A total of 618 patients with end-stage renal disease received kidney transplants between 1980 and September 1996. Twenty eight of them were diabetics. Better results were achieved for type 1 diabetic patients than for type 2 (mortality: 5.9% vs 27.3%; functioning graft: 88.2% vs 72.7%). The morbility was also higher in those patients (infections: 81.8% vs 29.4%; vascular complications: 45.5% vs 17.6%). Actuaria...

Pancreatic transplantation.

The AA. report on their very limited experience with whole pancreatic transplantation. For the moment this is the only experience in Portugal, the detailed report of the 3 cases may be of some help to other Portuguese groups interested in starting this therapeutical approach for insulin-dependent end-stage renal failure patients. The main comments focus on the third simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation,...
