Kidney transplantation in systemic lupus erythematosus: Outcomes and prognosis.

Introduction: The outcome and prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in long-term kidney transplantation (KT) is variable. The objective of this study was to analyse the survival of the graft and the patient, comparing rates with a control group (primary glomerulonephritis [PGN]).

Materials And Methods: Forty-three patients receiving a KT with diagnosis of lupus nephritis (LN) and 367 patients with PGN were compared between January 1980 and December 2014.

Renal function assessment in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions. A pilot study in a primary care centre.

Objectives: To determine the current state of renal function monitoring carried out on patients treated with NSAIDs.

Material And Method: We selected patients from a Primary Care Centre who had received NSAIDs for the first time. We checked if renal function was measured and/or controlled 2 months pre/6 months post-NSAID administration in order to assess if patient renal function was known at the time of prescription and afterwards.
