Neuropsychological Profile in Older Adults with End-Stage Kidney Disease during Kidney Transplantation Evaluation
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
End-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant concern for older adults and is often associated with cognitive impairment (CI). The origin of this CI is multifactorial, involving vascular and metabolic factors. Additionally, renal treatments, including dialysis, may affect cognition. This study...
HLA and non-HLA antibody profiling in the urine of kidney transplant recipients
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Kidney transplantation is the preferred therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet long-term graft survival remains limited. Effective preservation of transplanted kidneys is essential amid a persistent organ shortage. Post-transplant graft injury arises from both immune and nonimmune mechanisms....
Replacing Mycophenolate Mofetil by Everolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients to Increase Vaccine Immunogenicity: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Vaccine immunogenicity is reduced in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), especially in those using mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Whether replacement of MMF by everolimus improves vaccine immunogenicity is unknown. Methods: KTRs were randomized 1:1 to continue MMF or switch to everolimus. Participants...
Intravenous trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole desensitization as a therapeutic strategy for late-onset Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in a kidney transplant recipient: a case report
Kidney Transplantation 2 min.
Kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment option for end-stage renal disease. However, chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) remains one of the major causes limiting long-term graft survival [1]. High-dose corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and rituximab are frequently...
