Emergency surgery represents an independent risk factor for death and postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the literature data regarding outcome of daytime or nighttime renal transplantation surgery. Relevant papers, focused on renal transplantation surgery, time of the day, and complications, were searched across the PubMed database. We used the following search terms: "renal", "transplantation", "surgery", "daytime", "nighttime", and "outcome". A total of five papers, including 6,991 adult patients were evaluated. All patients received renal transplantation from deceased donor. Daytime or nighttime surgery do not seem to negatively impact on graft survival in renal transplantation. However, two out five studies reported higher odds of complications after nighttime operation. Since it is not possible to predict the availability of a deceased donor, nighttime surgery remains a valid option when necessary, maybe deserving a higher level of caution to reduce or avoid complications.

Aim: This study hypothesised that infants with a haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) as defined by a validated score have a higher incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including infants < 29 weeks' gestation, born at the Rotunda Hospital. The El-Khuffash patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) severity score was applied following an echocardiographic assessment.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk of developing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), which may cause organ dysfunction and increase patient mortality. The main clinical interventions for CKD-SHPT involve calcium supplements to boost absorption, but ineffective for some patients, and the reasons remain unclear. Here, CKD mice are divided into high and low groups based on intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels.

Background And Objectives: High-quality ABO antibody titre testing is required for ABO-incompatible haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and kidney transplantation. To assess the feasibility of automated ABO titration as an alternative to manual and semi-automatic titration during the peri-transplant period, a comparative study was conducted internally in a transfusion medicine laboratory.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed in two stages.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a prevalent cause of acute kidney injury, however, the regulatory mechanisms of miR-374b-5p in renal IRI remain poorly understood. We established hypoxia/reoxidation (H/R)-induced renal injury models using HK-2 and TCMK-1 cells, as well as an ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced mouse model. Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) viability and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8, flow cytometry, and TUNEL assays.

This study aimed to assess the association between the Global Psychosocial Assessment of Candidates Transplant score and survival in deceased donor kidney transplant candidates. A longitudinal cohort design was employed. The 142 candidates recruited were registered on the waiting list for deceased donor kidney transplants at a transplant center.
