OBJECTIVE: To compare between the effects of cold and warm ischemia on the risk of deterioration of renal insufficiency in patients with T1 renal tumor managed by partial nephrectomy.
The nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is rare and often misdiagnosed because it embraces an extended non-pathognomonic spectrum of symptoms that imply a difficult diagnosis.
PURPOSE: Donated kidney volume influences post-transplant outcomes and graft survival.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - We reviewed our 10-year experience of kidney transplantation in African American compared to Caucasian American recipients at Cleveland Clinic between the years 1995 and 2004.
PURPOSE: The aim of this article was to present the most important matters associated with dyslipidemia treatment in CKD patients.
BACKGROUND AND AIM: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the world's most common glomerular diseases.
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation (LNA) is a viable option when renal preservation is required or ureteral reconstruction is impossible.
OBJECTIVE: Individuals with impaired renal function are at increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).
OBJECTIVE: Non-heartbeating donors (NHBD) are an alternative to heartbeating donors (HBD).
BACKGROUND: Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) can be sustained with dialysis therapy.
BACKGROUND: Smoking is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular biomarkers such as N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), hs-CRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein), and albuminuria predict underlying heart disease in the general population as well as CKD patients.
BACKGROUND: The healthcare organizations need to develop and implement quality improvement plans for their survival and success.
CONTEXT: Renal Transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, which is fortunately available in the developing countries, even for poor people.
BACKGROUND: Despite regular treatment by hemodialysis, patients on hemodialysis are affected by uremic syndrome, which is marked by fatigue.
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease can lead to sarcopenia; however, no study has described sarcopenia in the patients undergoing renal transplantation.
BACKGROUND: There are growing numbers of patients with end-stage renal disease globally at an unexpected rate.
BETHESDA, MD USA (Press Release) - March 12, 2015 -
Statement of NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., for World Kidney Day 2015
Urologic complications are the most frequent technical adverse events following kidney transplantation (KTX).
BACKGROUND: Patients with severe or progressive idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) should receive immunosuppressive therapy (IST).
