ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation: impact of apheresis on graft and patient survival in recipients with low isoagglutinin titer [PDF]

Transplant International
ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation carries a high risk of acute antibody-mediated rejection due to the presence of isoagglutinins. To mitigate this risk, current protocols recommend performing apheresis before transplantation.

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.

Time until treatment initiation is associated with catheter survival in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis

Scientific Reports, 2021
For peritonitis, a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), we investigated the relation between duration from the sign (PD effluent abnormalities) to treatment with appropriate antibiotics (ST time) and catheter removal.

Prevalence of diarrhea in end-stage renal disease patients initiating hemodialysis

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2021
Background Diarrhea is one of the symptoms occasionally seen in patients initiating hemodialysis. When they have diarrhea, they need several additional cares for defecation during the hemodialysis sessions and for infection control at dialysis facilities.

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 ...
