ABO-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation in Portugal
Ribeiro,Catarina Isabel; Silva,Natália; Malheiro,Jorge; Almeida,Manuela; Pedroso,Sofia; La Salete Martins,Maria; Dias,Leonídio; Henriques,António CastroIntroduction: ABO incompatibility was considered a barrier to kidney transplant. However, the shortage of available organs for transplantation and the excellent long-term results further establish ABO-incompatible (ABOi) as a safe and effective therapeutic strategy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of ABOi transplantation in terms of graft survival and function, rejection episodes and i...
Rituximab-induced hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a kidney transplant patient
Silva,Natália; Ribeiro,Catarina Isabel; Almeida,Manuela; Malheiro,Jorge; Pedroso,Sofia; Martins,Maria La Salete; Dias,Leonídio; Henriques,António CastroRituximab (RTX) is a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that has been associated with delayed pulmonary toxicity. In patients receiving RTX, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, although rare, should be considered in the appropriate clinical and radiographic setting. The authors present a case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis associated with a single dose of RTX treatment in a kidney transplanted patient with acute...
Refractory ascites and graft dysfunction in early renal transplantation
Eusébio,Catarina Pereira; Correia,Sofia; Silva,Filipa; Almeida,Manuela; Pedroso,Sofia; Martins,La Salete; Diais,Leonídio; Queirós,JoséAbstract The occurrence of ascites after Renal Transplant (RT) is infrequent, and may be a consequence of surgical or medical complications. Case report: 61 year-old, male, history of arterial hypertension, tongue carcinoma and alcoholic habits 12-20g/day.

Malignancy after renal transplantation: a single-centre experience
Vieira,Pedro; Barreto,Patrícia; Pedroso,Sofia; Almeida,Manuela; Martins,La Salete; Dias,Leonídio; Henriques,António Castro; Cabrita,AntónioIntroduction: Malignancy management in renal transplant recipients is becoming a major factor affecting long-term patient survival. Thus, we intended to evaluate both incidence and prognosis of malignant diseases following renal transplantation at a single centre in Portugal. Methods: We studied retrospectively the 2,358 patients who underwent kidney transplantation (KT) between 1983 and 2014. Apart from descri...
BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplantation: A literature review following a...
Barreto,Patrícia; Almeida,Manuela; Dias,Leonídio; Vieira,Pedro; Pedroso,Sofia; Martins,La Salete; Henriques,António Castro; Cabrita,AntónioOver the last 15 years, better immunosuppressive drugs have decreased acute rejection rates in kidney transplantation but have also led to an increase in the incidence and impact of BK virus nephropathy. The authors report the case of a 62--year-old man submitted to a renal transplant of a deceased donor with an immunosuppression regimen free of rabbit anti -thymocyte globulin and tacrolimus, in whom BK nephrop...
The Rise of a Tax State: Portugal, 1371-1401
Henriques,António CastroThis paper uses the case of fourteenth-century Portugal to question a common assumption of fiscal history literature, namely the linear relationship between war-related fiscal demands increase the level of taxation. It is shown that this relationship is not straightforward and that not all wars decisively affect fiscal systems. In fact, as some contemporaries suggested, the effects of war on state revenues ar...
Tacrolimus: a forgotten agent in kidney transplant leukopenia
Azevedo,Pedro; Freitas,Cristina; Silva,Hugo; Aguiar,Pedro; Santos,Teresa; Cabral,João; Rocha,Guilherme; Almeida,Manuela; Pedroso,SofiaLeukopenia in kidney transplant patients is frequent, it causes potentially life-threatening complications, but it is often poorly characterized. Opportunistic infections, immunologic disturbances and drug-related toxicity are principal causes of single or multilineage cytopenias. Tacrolimus-induced leukopenia is a less recognized but frequent complication. We describe one patient with leukopenia developing wit...
