September 2024
Background: Current treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD) focuses on improving manifestations and delaying progression. Nutritional approaches play a crucial role in CKD management, and various supplements have become available. Ketoanalogues of amino acids (KAs), calcium citrate, and inulin have been proposed as suitable supplements, yet their widespread use has been limited due to insufficient evidence.

The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of anemia, as well as the relationship between kidney recipient and donor sex, in the presence or absence of anemia at 12 months after kidney transplant (KT).
Material And Methods: Observational, longitudinal study of KTs made over a 5-year period, from 2013 to 2017, in a renal transplant unit from La Raza National Health Care Medical Center.
Article Synopsis
- Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular issues, particularly after renal transplantation, often exacerbated by immunosuppressive therapy; the study aims to analyze cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the first year post-transplant while considering age, sex, and donor type.
- An observational study analyzed the medical records of 328 renal transplant patients from 2013 to 2017, measuring cholesterol and triglyceride levels over 12 months and conducting statistical analyses to identify associations.
- Results showed that while cholesterol levels were normal pre-transplant, triglyceride levels were elevated; both showed a rise post-transplant but returned to pre-transplant levels by month 12, with higher triglyceride levels noted in recipients over 50 years old,
