Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy Presenting in Young Adults as Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease and Posttransplant Early Recurrence: A Case Series.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerular disease, leading to chronic kidney disease. The disease is characterized by microscopic hematuria, gross episodic hematuria, hypertension, and subnephrotic proteinuria with or without renal function impairment. It affects individuals of all age groups, commonly seen in 10-40 years of age.

Diarrhea after kidney transplantation: A study of risk factors and outcomes.

Background: Diarrhea in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) can be associated with significant morbidity.

Material And Methods: We evaluated 198 KTRs for a history of diarrhea post-kidney transplant at a tertiary care center in western India over 1 year. A protocol-based evaluation of diarrhea was done with respect to clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, associated acute allograft dysfunction, and its impact on long-term allograft function.

Clinical Course and Outcomes of COVID-19 in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Introduction: Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 in KTR.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical profile, outcomes, and immunological responses of recipients admitted with COVID-19.

Cardiovascular Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipients with COVID-19: A Case Series.

Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at a higher risk for developing severe COVID-19 which can be associated with cardiovascular complications. We studied five KTRs recipients infected with COVID-19 who developed severe cardiovascular complications. Two patients presented with ST segment myocardial infarction and two with clinically suspected myocarditis.
