Comparison of UW and Celsior: long-term results in kidney transplantation.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare 2 preservation solutions in kidney transplant recipients in the same center during the same period since initiation of the use of High Na+; low K+ solution (Celsior).

Material And Methods: From January 1999 to April 2011, 610 consecutive renal transplantations were done in our department with deceased donor kidneys. Data were collected prospectively.

The high rate of de novo graft carcinomas in renal transplant recipients.

Background: To investigate the incidence, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of renal graft carcinomas in the same renal transplant population.

Methods: From April 1989 to April 2012, 1,037 consecutive renal transplantations were performed in our department. Data were collected prospectively in an extensively maintained database.

Impact of renal graft nephrectomy on second kidney transplant survival.

Purpose: To determine the impact of non-functional renal graft nephrectomy on second kidney transplantation survival.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study on patients managed in our department from April 1989 to April 2011. We compared the number of acute graft rejections and graft survival between patients undergoing second transplantation with (Group I) or without (Group II) prior graft nephrectomy.

[Haemospermia due to seminal vesicle amyloidosis. Treatment by laparoscopic vesiculectomy. A case report].

Amyloidosis of the seminal vesicles is a rare cause of haemospermia. The authors report the case of a 42-year-old patient with recurrent haemospermia over a period of 2 years and abnormalities of one seminal vesicle on ultrasonography and MRI, justifying laparoscopic resection. Histological examination demonstrated localized amyloidosis, secondary to inflammation.
