Outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplants with very high isoagglutinin titers: a single-center experience and literature review. [PDF]

Front Immunol
BackgroundABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KTx) represents a possible solution to address the shortage of kidney donors. However, these transplants present immunological challenges, particularly when isoagglutinin titers are elevated ...

C-Reactive Protein Apheresis as Anti-inflammatory Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results of the CAMI-1 Study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known marker of inflammation. It is less known that CRP mediates tissue damage in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) thus potentially worsening prognosis.

Evaluation of ultrasonography and plethysmography in detecting blood loss and volume replacement in a platelet apheresis model. [PDF]

Heliyon
Background: Rapid, reproducible, and noninvasive diagnostic methods like Ultrasonography (US) and plethysmographic measurements such as the perfusion index (PI) and pleth variablity index (PVI) have great potential value for emergency trauma cases in ...

Tocilizumab in the Treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection Post Kidney Transplantation: Clinical and Histological Monitoring

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Introduction: Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) has very few effective therapeutic options. Interleukin-6 is an attractive target because it is involved in inflammation and humoral immunity.

Clinical frailty assessment might be associated with mortality in incident dialysis patients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Frailty is associated with mortality in maintenance dialysis patients. For incident dialysis patients, we used the clinical frailty scale (CFS) to investigate frailty as related to mortality or hospitalization within 2 years.

Interest of a Kidney Biopsy to Rule out ANCA-Associated Renal Vasculitis in Glomerulonephritis Patients with a Positive ANCA

Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis, 2022
Kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing glomerular kidney disease. Some authors debate the necessity of systematically performing kidney biopsies in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of renal ...
