The metabolism of urapidil to 2-MeOPP induces the risk of detection of 2-MeOPP in biological samples (blood, urine and hair) in case of urapidil treatment. This is supported by two case reports and an in vitro study of urapidil metabolism.

- A study assessed the link between early blood transfusions and the development of HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in kidney transplant patients, involving 1,424 individuals from January 2007 to December 2018.
- Out of the transplant recipients, 258 received at least one blood transfusion within the first month, and these patients were generally older and had higher sensitization to HLA antibodies.
- The analysis revealed no significant correlation between early blood transfusions and increased risks of DSA occurrence, rejection, or graft loss, indicating that blood transfusions in the early post-transplant period may not negatively affect long-term outcomes.
The association between acute graft pyelonephritis (AGPN) and graft failure in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remains controversial. In this single-center observational study, we aimed to assess the incidence of AGPN as a time-dependent posttransplantation event. We also examined the association between the diagnosis of AGPN and graft outcomes.
