Background And Aim: Kidney transplant recipients frequently experience a wide range of metabolic complications, including weight changes, which significantly impact patient outcomes and graft function, yet the relationship between weight gain and transplant outcomes remains poorly understood. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesise existing evidence on the influence of weight gain on patient and graft outcomes following kidney transplantation to enhance clinical practice and optimise post-transplant care strategies.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted across databases such as PubMed and Scopus for peer-reviewed studies published up to 8 August 2024.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates risk factors for all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events in patients undergoing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, which helps track blood pressure outside of clinical settings.! -
- The research analyzed data from 1,291 patients, finding that survival rates improved with certain blood pressure patterns and age, while poorer outcomes were associated with smoking and specific blood pressure dips.! -
- The study emphasizes the importance of diastolic blood pressure dipping and nighttime variability in predicting health outcomes, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches in hypertension management.!
Introduction: Hypovolaemia is presumed to be a common risk factor of postinduction hypotension (PIH), despite worldwide improvement in preoperative volume optimization. Correct assessment of fluid status in patients undergoing general anaesthesia remains a major challenge for anaesthesiologists. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a sensitive method that allows objective assessment of patient fluid status as it can detect subclinical changes.

Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia is a condition that leads to the loss of muscle mass and function, particularly affecting older adults and those with chronic illnesses, and current treatments like diet and exercise aren't always effective or sustainable.
- This meta-analysis aims to determine the effects of bimagrumab, a monoclonal antibody, on improving physical performance and body composition in sarcopenia patients.
- The analysis reviewed seven randomized controlled trials, finding that bimagrumab significantly increased thigh muscle volume and fat-free body mass in subjects.
Background And Aim: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a complex condition arising from various factors including immunosuppressive medications, insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and inflammatory processes. Its impact on patient and graft survival is a significant concern in kidney transplant recipients. PTDM's impact on kidney transplant recipients, including patient and graft survival and cardiovascular mortality, is a significant concern, given conflicting findings in previous studies.
