Role of Renal Venous Oxygen Pressure for Renal Function Monitoring After Related Living-Donor Kidney Transplantation: Cohort Study.
Transplant Proc
February 2024
Background: Monitoring of renal function after kidney transplantation (KT) is performed by measuring serum creatinine (SCr), urine volumes (UV), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Other methods based on oxygen metabolism, such as the renal venous oxygen pressure (PO), may be useful. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between PO and SCr, UV, and GFR 5 days after KT (SCr5, UV5, and GFR5, respectively).

- 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,
Background: Arteriovenous fistulas secondary to gunshot wounds have been increasing due to military activities, with endovascular treatment showing better results in haemodynamically stable patients.
Clinical Case: A 16 year-old male with diagnosis of femoral arteriovenous fistula in the left lower extremity was admitted to general surgery for endovascular management. A procedure with stent was performed without complications, and is currently on anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment.
Introduction: Acute rejection has been identified as the main cause of renal graft dysfunction during the first year after transplantation; it is associated with chronic structural and functional damage, which causes loss of graft and decrease in patient survival.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective and descriptive research consisting in a review of the final reports of biopsies performed due to renal graft dysfunction during the postransplant period. Patients included were transplanted at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ) from January 2007 to December 2011.
