Aim: ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation has been accepted for end-stage renal failure patients who have no ready opportunity for a deceased or living donor. Antibody titration for ABO-incompatible renal transplantation is not only difficult but also lacks conformity among laboratories. Herein we analyzed 20 living related renal transplant couples to detect recipient anti-A2 antibody using flow cytometric analysis.

Materials And Methods: The study included 163 renal transplant recipients. After dermatologic examination, cultures, and histopathologic and genetic analyses were performed.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term medical risks of living-related donors in our center.
Patients And Methods: 185 living-related donors participated in the study. The factors assessed were creatinine clearance rate (CrCl), serum creatinine (SCr), BUN, hematocrit levels, proteinuria, microalbuminuria and hypertension rates, and renal parenchyma thickness and kidney dimensions predonation as well as at the last follow-up.
Aim: Cytokines are early predictors of graft dysfunction. In this study we evaluated pretransplant cytokine levels and graft outcomes among renal transplant recipients.
Patients And Methods: Donor selection was based on results of blood group matching and negative crossmatches.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of life of renal donors during long-term follow-up.
Patients And Methods: The short form health survey (SF-36) questionnaire was compared between renal donors and the general population. We evaluated the relationship to postoperative complications and preoperative information with the quality of life.
