Nutritional risk assessment in hemodialysis patients: A comparative analysis of...

Background and aims: Nutritional status has a great impact on the prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Therefore, its management should be a priority, and risk screening frequent and easily implemented, based on the biochemical and clinical routine parameters already available, when the use of more comprehensive tools is not possible. Many tools fit these simple criteria, namely the modified creatini...

Predictors of nutritional and inflammation risk in hemodialysis patients

Background: Malnutrition and chronic inflammation are prevalent complications in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Different nutritional assessment tools are used to identify patients at risk. A composite and comprehensive malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) has been correlated with morbidity and mortality, and appears to be a robust and quantitative tool. Objectives: Determine malnutrition risk profile in a sample...

Urinary Stones After Renal Transplantation – Incidence, Management and Outcomes

Nephrotic Range Proteinuria in Renal Transplantation: Clinical and Histologic C...

INTRODUCTION: There is a high incidence of nephrotic proteinuria in renal transplant recipients, which is an accurate predictor of graft loss. Despite this, its histologic correlates and prognostic implications are still not well characterized. We assessed the clinical and histological correlates of kidney transplantation patients with nephrotic range proteinuria. METHODS: We have retrospectively analyzed clini...

Fibrogenesis in Kidney Transplant: Dysfunction Progress Biomarkers

Fibrogenesis markers, such as alpha-actin (AA), CD163 (macrophages), and E-cadherin, have been studied as chronic kidney allograft injury (CAI) predictors, a major cause of allograft failure. OBJECTIVE: Investigate the value of these markers in predicting CAI and initiation of dialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 26 kidney allograft biopsies (from 22 patients with CAI) during 2 years, eval...

Early Rehospitalization Post-Kidney Transplant Due to Infectious Complications:...

INTRODUCTION: Rehospitalization early post-kidney transplant is common and has a negative impact in morbidity, graft survival, and health costs. Infection is one the most common causes, and identifying the risk factors for early readmission due to infectious complications may guide a preventive program and improve outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, characterize the population, and ide...

Polyomavirus Nephropathy: Ten-Year Experience

BACKGROUND: Polyomavirus nephropathy (BKVN) is an important cause of chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD). Recipient determinants (male sex, white race, and older age), deceased donation, high-dose immunosuppression, diabetes, delayed graft function (DGF), cytomegalovirus infection, and acute rejection (AR) are risk factors. Reducing immunosuppression is the best strategy in BKVN. The objective of our study was ...

What Can We Do When All Collapses? Fatal Outcome of Collapsing Glomerulopathy a...

NTRODUCTION: Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a rare form of glomerular injury. Although commonly associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, it can occur in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 50-year-old man, with chronic kidney disease secondary to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, who received a cadaveric kidney transplant in 20...

Surgical Complications in Early Post-transplant Kidney Recipients

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of early surgical complications of kidney transplantation in our institution and its association with donor and recipient factors, as well as patient and transplant outcome. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of all kidney transplants performed during 2015 was made. We evaluated the incidence of surgical complications and the outcome of pat...
