Article Abstract

There is a lack of information about renal responses in heart and kidney transplant patients after intense physical exercise. Eleven heart and ten kidney transplant recipients, as well as two control groups of healthy subjects, were given a maximum exercise test on a bicycle ergometer. One control group was also given a moderate load corresponding to the peak load of the kidney transplant group. Blood and urine samples were collected before and after exercise and assayed for lactate, creatinine, total protein, and albumin. The glomerular filtration rate remained stable at the end of exercise in the transplant patients, while there was a slight (17%) decrease in the control group. Albumin excretion rates after maximum exercise attained a mean of 237 micrograms.min-1 in the control group and a mean of 45 and 16 micrograms.min-1, respectively, in the heart and kidney groups. Postexercise proteinuria seemed to be related to the absolute intensity of the event, but kidney transplant patients showed a reduced effect as compared to heart transplant patients. We conclude that short-term, maximum exercise in heart and kidney transplant recipients is not detrimental to kidney function.

Background: The application of international recommendations for paediatric maintenance haemodialysis (HD) could be strengthened by national laws or written recommendations. Our aim was therefore to describe the national rules governing paediatric maintenance HD in European countries.

Methods: A national representative, approved by the president of each paediatric nephrology society, was contacted in all 42 European countries to complete two online questionnaires.

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common form of acute kidney injury. The basic mechanism underlying renal IRI is acute inflammation, where oxidative stress plays an important role. Although bilirubin exhibits potent reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging properties, its clinical application is hindered by problems associated with solubility, stability, and toxicity.

Introduction: The clinical characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (dnIBD) diagnosed after solid organ transplant (SOT) are not well-described, particularly since the advent of biologic therapy for treatment of IBD.

Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective review of SOT recipients between 2010 and 2022 at the University of Minnesota Medical Center who were diagnosed with IBD after transplant.

Results: Of 89 patients at our center with IBD and a history of SOT, five (5.

Introduction: The Swiss allocation system for kidney transplantation has evolved over time to balance medical urgency, immunological compatibility, and waiting time. Since the introduction of the transplantation law in 2007, which imposed organ allocation on a national level, the algorithm has been optimized. Initially based on waiting time, HLA compatibility, and crossmatch performed by cell complement-dependent cytotoxicity techniques, the system moved in 2012 to a score including HLA compatibility, waiting time, anti-HLA antibodies detected by the Luminex technology, and a virtual crossmatch.
