Paediatric renal transplantation: Paediatric surgeons' perspective

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for paediatric end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), offering advantages in survival, growth and neurocognitive development that surpass other renal replacement therapies (RRT). The paediatric setting, however, introduces distinct complexities that distinguish it from adult practice.

Optimizing Prolonged (6 h) Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys (PROPER Study)

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Prolonged ex situ normothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys up to 6 h is feasible, maintaining viability and histological integrity. Key protocol optimizations include fresh red blood cells, albumin supplementation, and urine recirculation—laying the groundwork for assessment and potential pretransplant interventions in future clinical trials ...

Microalbuminuria as Predictor of Early Glomerular Injury in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Anaemia at Muhimbili National Hospital Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 2012 [PDF]

, 2012
Microalbuminuria (MA) is the earliest marker of various diseases affecting the renal system. Its relevance in children and adolescents with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), who are known to be prone to renal complications, has not been fully explored in our ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Functional Differences Between In Vivo Human Kidneys and Discarded Human Kidneys During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Comparative MRI of in vivo kidneys and ex vivo donor kidneys during NMP revealed marked physiological differences and limited correspondence with conventional perfusion or injury metrics. These distinct ex vivo MRI signatures emphasize the need to consider parameters beyond conventional in vivo functional markers when assessing organ viability during ...

Tacrolimus rescue therapy for renal allograft rejection - Five-year experience [PDF]

, 1997
Over the 5 year period from 7/14/1989 until 5/24/1994, we have attempted graft salvage with tacrolimus conversion in a total of 169 patients (median age 33 years, range 2-75 years) with ongoing rejection on baseline CsA immunosuppression after failure of

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Tacrolimus in pediatric renal transplantation [PDF]

, 1996
Tacrolimus was used as the primary immunosuppressive agent in 69 pediatric renal transplantations between December 17, 1989, and June 30, 1995. Children undergoing concomitant or prior liver and/or intestinal transplantation were excluded from analysis ...

The insulin‐like growth factor system and the progression of renal complications of type 2 diabetes

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Chronic kidney disease is associated with dysregulation of the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) system. Alterations in IGF bioavailability, driven by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), may influence the decline in renal function. However, the longitudinal relationship between baseline IGF‐I, IGF‐II, IGFBPs and progression of kidney ...
