Meeting Treatment Goals in Patients on Extramural Dialysis in Health Social Security in Mexico.

Introduction: For the majority of renal replacement therapy history, the main treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Mexico has been peritoneal dialysis. However, the use of hemodialysis is overwhelmingly increasing, driving public health care institutions to subrogate this service. Even when the actual hiring model for subrogation is accurate, there is a lack of quality control points in the hemodialysis prescription, poor adherence to clinical practice guidelines, and a few or no record of outcomes in hemodialysis patients of these subrogated services.

Change in the Pattern of Posttransplantation Anemia in Kidney Receptors: Sex Role in Recipients and Type of Donor.

Objective: Posttransplant anemia (PTA) in kidney recipients is a complication that has repercussions mainly of cardiovascular consequence. 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.

Complications of Renal Transplantation That Influence the Presence of Hyperuricemia in Its First Year of Evolution.

Introduction: Renal transplantation (RT) has evolved to improve its functionality. Some factors have been little studied, one of which is hyperuricemia and its impact on renal graft function. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of complications of renal transplantation and its influence on hyperuricemia values in the first year of evolution.

Impact of Cold Ischemia Time in Clinical Outcomes in Deceased Donor Renal Transplant.

Background: Renal transplants (RTs) from deceased donors have increased in Mexico because of the high need of people with terminal kidney damage. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of cold ischemia time (CIT) on clinical outcomes in the deceased donor kidney transplant.

Methods: A retrospective, observational study of deceased donor RTs performed from 2013 to 2017 in the RT unit of the CMN Siglo XXI was completed.

Factors That Influence the Attitude of the Population to Be a Donor in Mexico.

Background: Transplantation depends on a donation from a living or deceased donor, with the latter ideally involving a multiorgan transplant. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that influence the attitudes of the population in Mexico toward being a donor.

Methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study with a survey on the attitudes toward donation in the population of Mexico.

Behavior of Calcium, Phosphorus, and Parathormone Before Transplantation and in Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 After Transplantation.

Background: Bone mineral disease after transplantation persists and is an issue that must be addressed owing to the cardiovascular impact it presents. The objective of this study is to present the behavior of calcium, phosphorus, and parathormone (PTH) before renal transplantation (RT) and throughout the 12 months after transplant surgery.

Methods: A longitudinal observational study of RT patients was performed from 2013 to 2017 in 2 renal transplant units in Mexico.

Compliance With Biochemical Objectives in Patients on Renal Replacement Therapy Before Kidney Transplantation in Mexico.

Objectives: The biochemical conditions in which patients arrive before renal transplantation (RT) are rarely evaluated; examples of them are found in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS). The objective of our study was to ascertain the fulfillment of biochemical goals for patients on renal replacement therapy before RT.

Material And Methods: Observational, retrospective study of patients who were on a RT protocol between 2012 and 2017 in 2 RT centers in Mexico.

Anemia and Erythrocytes: Behavior and Prevalence 1 Year After Kidney Transplant.

Introduction: Renal transplantation presents multiple complications after its completion, some of them related to the behavior of hemoglobin levels. The objective of this study is to determine the behavior and prevalence of anemia and erythrocytosis in the first year after renal transplantation.

[Holter heart rhythm disorders in patients with acute kidney injury during hemodialysis].

Background: The presence of acute renal injury has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (sudden death and arrhythmias).

Objective: To know the frequency of heart rhythm disorders documented by Holter in patients in need of intermittent hemodialysis due to acute renal injury.

Alelos HLA más comunes y asociados con riesgo o protección en enfermedad renal crónica de etiología no determinada.

[Abdominal tuberculosis in renal transplant recipient. Presentation of a case and literature review].

Background: Kidney transplantation presents a susceptible point, and is related to infections; tuberculosis is a common and endemic etiology in a country like Mexico, where the most frequent presentation is the respiratory condition, the extrapulmonary is extremely rare and it is derived from immunosuppression conditions.

Case Report: 33-year-old man with kidney disease of undetermined etiology, kidney transplant in 2003 (donor mother) with adequate evolution; presented with chronic graft nephropathy, with baseline creatinine of 1.8 mg / dL, immunosuppression with prednisone 10 mg every 24 hours, mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg every 8 hours and ciclosporin 100 mg every 12 hours; surgical intervention was performed due to acute abdomen, appendectomy and omentectomy with histopathological finding of tuberculosis, Dotbal, antiproliferative in suspension was started and decrease of calcineurin inhibitor.

Background: The incidence of cancer in transplant recipients is higher than in the general population. Cutaneous and lymphoproliferative tumors are the primary neoplasms that will develop these patients. Little is known about the transmission of cancer in organ and tissue donation; it has been described that neoplasms can be transmitted to immunosuppressed patients when donor organs with neoplasms are inadvertently transplanted.
