Fk506 “rescue” for resistant rejection of renal allografts under primary cyclosporine immunosuppression [PDF]

, 1994
Seventy-seven patients with ongoing acute rejection on initial CsA therapy were converted to FK506 to attempt graft salvage. Fifty-nine patients had undergone primary transplantation and 18 had been retransplanted; there were 52 cadaveric and 25 living ...

Right Versus Left Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy and Its Effects on Transplant Outcomes: Experience From Saudi Arabia

Journal of Transplantation
Conclusion: Laparoscopic left and right donor nephrectomies show comparable long-term outcomes with no significant differences in creatinine levels at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-transplantation.

Isolating mineralized bone and bone marrow mRNA from transiliac bone biopsies stored in a stabilizing solution: A comparative study

Bone Reports, 2022
The molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic bone diseases, including renal osteodystrophy, are poorly understood. Transcriptomics are increasingly used to characterize biological molecular networks and prove promising in identifying therapeutic targets

Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells as induction therapy are safe and feasible in renal allografts: pilot results of a multicenter randomized controlled trial

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background Kidneys from deceased donors are being used to meet the growing need for grafts. However, delayed graft function (DGF) and acute rejection incidences are high, leading to adverse effects on graft outcomes. Optimal induction intervention should

Donor myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) prolong allogeneic cardiac graft survival through programming of recipient myeloid cells in vivo

Scientific Reports, 2020
Solid organ transplantation is a lifesaving therapy for patients with end-organ disease. Current immunosuppression protocols are not designed to target antigen-specific alloimmunity and are uncapable of preventing chronic allograft injury.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
