Opportunistic infection in renal transplant recipients
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): Anupma Kaul , Tejendra Singh Chauhan Despite improvements in the immunosuppressive protocols, and infection preventive method infections remains a major impediment to long-term renal graft survival especially in developing countries. Opportunistic infections after renal transplant usually follow a time table pattern with highest risk during first 6 month when intensity of immunosuppression is maximum, although this was not uniformly found in patients from this continent. In renal allograft recipient, immunosupp...

Simultaneous liver kidney transplant
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): Supriya Sharma , Gaurav Pande , Vivek A. Saraswat , Rajan Saxena A significant number of patients awaiting liver transplantation have associated renal failure. Simultaneous Liver and Kidney (SLK) transplantation is increasingly offered especially since the introduction of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). The appropriate selection of candidates for SLK is more complex and less well defined than for liver transplant alone (LTA) due to our inability to predict accurately the extent of reversibility of a...

Imaging in renal transplant: Review
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): Hira Lal , Rajesh V. Helavar , Shivanand Gamanagatti , Suruchi Jain , Rakesh Kumar Renal transplantation has transformed the management of end stage renal disease (ESRD), along with prolonging survival it offers good quality of life with low morbidity. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of complications arising in renal transplant. Ultrasound (US) with Doppler is the first-line imaging modality for evaluation of renal graft, with US, Doppler and nuclear medicine being the main imaging modalitie...

Post renal transplant acute kidney injury
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): Tarun Mittal , H.S. Kohli AKI specific to the renal transplant includes ischemia-reperfusion injury, acute rejection, acute calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) toxicity, venous or arterial thrombosis, urinary tract obstruction, graft pyelonephritis and recurrent disease. The graft is more susceptible to hemodynamic insults as it is denervated and there is at least partial loss of its autoregulatory capacity. Some factors unrelated to the transplant like sepsis may also predispose AKI in post-transplant period. The arti...

HCV infection during renal replacement therapy: What we have learnt in two decade?
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): S.K. Agarwal HCV infection is most common hepatotropic blood borne infection in hemodialysis unit and prevalent differently in different units. It causes not only mortality but significant morbidity and difficulty in management of such cases. Prevention is better than treatment of such cases. In addition to following universal precaution, there is role of isolation of these patients to restrict spread of infection. If patient can afford, these patients should be treated with interferon (preferably pegylated) wit...

The emerging role of electron microscopy in renal allograft rejection
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): Vinita Agrawal The current criteria for renal allograft rejection are primarily based on histology, and therefore the early treatable stage of rejection is often not detected. Ultrastructural examination of renal allograft biopsy is increasingly being recognized to be essential for detecting early changes of rejection, which may not be evident on histology. These early ultrastructural lesions usually involve the glomerular and peritubular capillaries. Additionally, the routine ultrastructural examination of rena...

Nephrology and kidney transplantation in India: Past, present and future
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Indian Journal of Transplantation, Volume 8, Supplement 1 Author(s): H.L. Trivedi Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been recognized as a major global public health problem. The approximate prevalence of CKD in India is 800 per million populations (pmp). Kidney transplantation is considered as the best therapeutic modality for patients suffering from end stage renal disease (ESRD). Transplantation started in 1953 in Europe and USA and in India it started in 1965. The awareness of deceased donor organ transplants, cross-over transplants and other organs like liver and heart is also ...
