We report a case of slow graft function in a renal transplant recipient caused by uremic acute pericardial effusion with tamponade. Urgent pericardiocentesis was done with an improvement in blood pressure, immediate diuresis, and quick recovery of renal function back to baseline. Pericardial tamponade should be included in consideration of causes of type 1 cardiorenal syndrome in renal transplant recipients.

Objectives: Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease suffer from hypertension, and kidney transplantation (KT) has potential to induce hypertension resolution. We hypothesized that hypertension resolution after KT is associated with better KT outcomes.
Methods: We identified KT recipients (2006-2015) who had pretransplant hypertension.
Do SGLT2 Inhibitors Protect the Kidneys? An Alternative Explanation.

SGLT2 inhibitors are a family of drugs that were developed to treat diabetes mellitus. In randomized controlled trials, SGLT2 inhibitors seem to prevent kidney deterioration in patients with nephropathies, both diabetic and non-diabetic. However, in contrast to biochemical/physiological results (proteinuria and serum creatinine levels) that improve in all studies, the clinical results (all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, need for dialysis, or renal transplant) do not consistently improve.

Background: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in kidney transplant recipients are sometimes closed, either as a policy or due to complications. We collected data on the incidence of complications after AVF closure in a national cohort of transplanted patients.
Methods: Patients who received a kidney transplant between 2000 and 2015 and had a functional AVF that was later ligated or extirpated were included.
Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia: A Retrospective Claims Analysis of Complications, Resource Utilization, and Cost of Care.

Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) is a rare inherited disorder resulting in potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia, metabolic abnormalities, and complications often requiring hospitalization. This retrospective database analysis assessed the complications, resource utilization, and costs in a large cohort of patients with GSDIa. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of GSDIa patients and matched non-GSDIa comparators utilizing the PharMetrics® Plus database.

It is reasonable to infer that kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with hypercalcemia related to persistent hyperparathyroidism are more susceptible to developing anemia. However, reports suggest that hypercalcemia could be a contributing factor to erythrocytosis.
