INTRODUCTION: Currently, the shortage of organs available for kidney transplantation and a change in donors' and recipients' profiles (elderly, with cardiovascular risk, donors after cardiac death), it is becoming necessary to assess grafts from expanded-criteria donors (ECD) in order to have methods that allow us to predict viability and graft survival.
Persistence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common after renal transplantation. Good diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid complications. The objective of our work was to perform a retrospective analysis of the evolution of SHPT after renal transplantation. We selected patients who had received a kidney transplant at our hospital between 2000 and 2014. The biochemical variables...

BACKGROUND: In transplant recipients, due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy, it is occasionally difficult to distinguish between an infection an...
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of several conditions that affect a growing percentage of the US population; the disease is accompanie...
We describe a case of biopsy-proven dabigatran related nephropathy in a patient without underlying IgA nephropathy. To date, dabigatran related nephro...
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic drug monitoring of immunosuppressive drugs is imperative for organ transplant recipients. High-performance LC-MS/MS is conside...
BACKGROUND: Kidney injury is common in patients with cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND: Conversion from tacrolimus to belatacept has been shown to be beneficial for an increasing number of kidney transplant (KT) patients. Pred...
Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein that was found to be overexpressed in acute kidney injury (AKI). The rise in NGAL conce...
BACKGROUND: Tolvaptan is a promising drug for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) because it induces aquaresis without adv...
BACKGROUND: Fluid and electrolyte management for hospital inpatients has been identified by multiple reports to be suboptimal, with delegation of this...
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) r...
BACKGROUND: The current acute kidney injury (AKI) risk prediction model for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from the Amer...
BACKGROUND: The presence of a persistent fibrous sheath in right-sided heart chambers after transvenous lead extraction has already been described in ...
Introduction Dose reductions are often required to avoid toxicity in combination therapy for advanced cancers, but information on appropriate dose red...
BACKGROUND: Urinary 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) has been associated with hypertension in women with elevated urinary cadmium (Cd) excret...
Renal segmentation is one of the most fundamental and challenging task in computer aided diagnosis systems. In order to overcome the shortcomings of a...
BACKGROUND: A low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and an increased urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) are well-recognised prognosti...
Due to the increasing availability of whole slide scanners facilitating digitization of histopathological tissue, large amounts of digital image data ...
