Aim
The cluster of biochemical and clinical abnormalities known as metabolic syndrome (MS) has become a public health problem even in developing countries. Previous studies have shown a graded relationship between MS components and worsening renal function in the general population. The prevalence of MS in non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD) and kidney transplant recipients in the North Indian population is unknown.Methods
We studied all patients with stable CKD and with renal transplantation attending the nephrology clinic in a large centre in North India over an eight-week period. All transplant patients had stable graft function for 3?months prior to recruitment. MS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2007 guidelines. A total of 252 (155 NDD-CKD and 97 renal transplant recipients) patients were studied.Results
MS was present in 86 (34%) patients. The prevalence of MS was similar in NDD-CKD and transplant patients [60 (39%) vs. 26 (27%), P?=?0.052]. Patients with MS were older than those wihout MS (48?±?12 years-old vs. 40?±?14?years-old, P?<?0.001) and MS was more common in women than in men (59% vs. 26%, P?<?0.001). Female gender was an independent risk factor for MS in this population [adjusted OR 5.25 (95% CI: 2.74?C10.06)]. With advancing CKD, the prevalence of MS decreased in the NDD-CKD patients. Impaired glucose tolerance and hypertriglyceridemia were independent predictors of MS. Hypertension was not a predictor of MS in NDD-CKD. In transplant recipients, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension and low HDL cholesterol predicted the risk for MS.Conclusion
MS is common in CKD and renal transplant patients in North India. The risk of MS decreases with declining eGFR in CKD patients. Female gender and hypertriglyceridemia independently predict the risk of MS in both NDD-CKD and transplant recipients. 相似文献2.

Objectives
C-reactive protein (CRP) is increased in end-stage renal disease patients. Recent studies have shown positive associations between inflammatory markers and cardiovascular mortality in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of the present study was to examine the correlation between CRP and early detection of renal allograft rejection. Furthermore, investigate the association between pretransplant levels of CRP with the development of acute renal allograft rejection as a possible predictive marker.Methods
Ninety-one renal transplant recipients were sequentially analyzed. The median follow up of patients was 8 weeks. Basal and 8?weeks post transplant CRP levels were assessed.Results
CRP levels were significantly higher in allograft rejection both in the pretransplant (n?=?25, P?=?0.001) and postransplant (n?=?33, P?=?0.001) phases when compared to those without rejection. By stepwise multiple regression analysis, rejection in transplanted patients was independently correlated to albumin/creatinine ratio and CRP 8?weeks after transplantation.Conclusion
Elevated pretransplant serum CRP level is a risk predictor for acute rejection episodes and may be a useful predictive marker in the follow-up of post-transplantation patients. 相似文献3.

Background
Transplantation is the preferred treatment for children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Pre-emptive transplants, those from live donors and with few human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches provide the best outcomes. Studies into disparities in paediatric transplantation to date have not adequately disentangled different transplant types.Methods
We studied a retrospective cohort of 823 patients aged <18 years who started renal replacement therapy (RRT) in Australia 1990–2011, using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA). The primary outcomes were time to first kidney transplant and kidney donor type (deceased or living), analysed using competing risk regression.Results
Caucasian patients were most likely to receive any transplant, due largely to disparities in live donor transplantation. No Indigenous patients received a pre-emptive transplant. Indigenous patients were least likely to receive a transplant from a live donor (sub-hazard ratio 0.41, 95 % confidence interval 0.20–0.82, compared to Caucasians). Caucasian recipients had fewer HLA mismatches, were less sensitised and were more likely to have kidney diseases that could be diagnosed early or progress slowly.Conclusions
Caucasian paediatric patients are more likely to receive optimum treatment—a transplant from a living donor and fewer HLA mismatches. Further work is required to identify and address barriers to live donor transplantation among minority racial groups. 相似文献4.
Background
Posttransplant malignancy is one of the major causes inhibiting long-term graft survival. Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy in Korea and occurs more frequently in renal transplant recipients compared to that in Western countries. We aimed to analyze the clinical features of the post-renal-transplant gastric cancer and assess factors that can affect the difference in survival.Methods
Of the 2,157 recipients who underwent renal transplantation at Asan Medical Center between January 1992 and April 2008, the 13 patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma after transplantation were retrospectively reviewed. We analyzed the effects of primary disease causing end-stage renal disease, type of donor, type of immunosuppressant, induction therapy, and organ rejection on survival after cancer diagnosis. In addition, we evaluated the need for regular gastric cancer screening after transplantation by analyzing the difference in survival between the patients who were and were not screened on a regular basis.Results
Gastric adenocarcinoma occurred 3.44 times more often in men and 8.33 times more often in women than in the same age group of the general population in Korea (176.4/100,000 in men and 67.6/100,000 in women). Except for endoscopic screening, survival had no relation to the primary disease, type of donor, type of immunosuppressive drug, induction therapy, or the presence of rejection. The 5-year survival rates of recipients who were and were not screened by regular gastroscopic surveillance were 100 and 53.6?%, respectively (p?=?0.06).Conclusions
Regular gastric surveillance might be needed for renal transplant recipients with a high risk of gastric malignancy. 相似文献5.

Background
Renal transplantation improves left ventricular (LV) function, but cardiovascular mortality remains elevated. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether subclinical abnormalities of LV longitudinal function also persist in patients who underwent renal transplant in childhood.Methods
Conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography was performed in 68 renal transplant recipients (34 children and 34 adults, median 9.8?years (range 2.0–28.4?years) after first transplantation and 68 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.Results
Mean age at first transplantation was 8.8?±?4.8?years. Forty-three percent had a pre-emptive transplant. Of the remaining, 70% received haemodialysis and 30% peritoneal dialysis on average for 6.9?months. Thirty-one percent of paediatric and 35% of adult patients had hypertension. LV mass index was increased in adult patients (92?±?24 vs 75?±?11?g/m2, P0.01). LV diastolic function and exercise capacity were impaired in both paediatric and adult patients. LV longitudinal peak systolic strain and strain rate were comparable in patients and controls. In multivariate analysis, systolic blood pressure and LV diastolic relaxation were the main covariates of LV peak systolic strain and strain rate (all P?0.01).Conclusions
Patients who underwent renal transplantation in childhood have abnormal LV diastolic function and impaired exercise capacity, despite preserved LV longitudinal systolic deformation. 相似文献6.

Background
To evaluate the role of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before transplantation and to examine the risk factors for new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) during long-term follow-up of renal transplant recipients receiving FK-based therapy.Methods
The study evaluated 378 patients pre-transplantation using the OGTT and assigned them to one of three groups: Group 1, normal pattern; Group 2, impaired fasting glucose (IFG)/impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) pattern (IFG/IGT); and Group 3, DM pattern.Results
Although the incidence of NODAT was higher in Group 3 than in groups 1 and 2, no significant difference was found between the three groups with regard to graft survival during long-term follow-up. Multivariate analysis showed that only a family history of diabetes was a significant factor determining NODAT progression.Conclusions
Impaired glucose tolerance appears to be a threshold influencing NODAT; however, it was not a significant factor in graft survival. Careful monitoring and management based on the result of the pre-transplantation OGTT appear to prevent the deterioration of impaired glucose tolerance in renal transplant recipients receiving FK-based therapy, even when a pre-operative OGTT shows impaired glycemic control. 相似文献7.

Objective
Renal transplantation is the best options for treating end-stage renal disease. Better patient and allograft survival rates are provided by living donation, which has been safe, with minimal immediate and long-term risk for the donor. This study aims to investigate the life status and summarize the clinical experience in living-related kidney transplant (LRKT) before and after renal transplantation.Methods
A total of 310 cases of LRKT have been performed in our center since 1998. Tissue matching and risk factors assessment in donors and recipients were performed before donation. Small lumbar incision was used in all cases for unilateral nephrectomy. Donors and recipients were followed up regularly after renal transplantation.Results
All living donors were healthy, with normal renal function after unilateral nephrectomy. The 1- and 5-year patient/graft survival rates of LRKT were 98.3 %/97.6 % and 91.3 %/86.9 %, respectively. The cumulative incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and acute rejection (AR) was 2.9 % (9 cases). Thirteen cases developed pulmonary infection (4.2 %) and eight cases were cured. The graft function in most cases returned to normal range soon after kidney transplant. Moreover, the creatinine and BUN levels of grafts donated by children or siblings of recipients were markedly lower than those donated by parents, at 1 month after transplant.Conclusion
Adequate pretransplant assessment, better tissue matching, and reduced ischemia time may result in lower incidence of DGF, AR and higher patient/graft survival rates for LRKT. It is important to improve selection criteria and health assessment of donors. Long-term follow-up is essential to ensure a healthy life for donors and recipients after kidney transplant. 相似文献8.
Objectives
In renal transplant recipients, the risk of developing bladder cancer and rate of diagnosis of advanced staged bladder cancer are generally higher than the general population. Also, it is more challenging to treat renal transplant recipients than the regular patient population. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion with ileal conduit in renal transplant recipients.Methods
We identified 2 patients with prior history of renal transplantation who underwent RC and ileal conduit urinary diversion for bladder cancer. Preoperative clinical and demographic data were presented and outcomes were assessed.Results
The RC and ileal conduit urinary diversion were performed in the first patient 56 months after renal transplantation and in the second patient 64 months after renal transplantation. Clinical staging was high-grade T2 transitional cell cancer of the bladder for patient 1 and T2 with pure squamous cell cancer of the bladder for patient 2. No perioperative or postoperative complication and no graft dysfunction occurred in either patient.Conclusion
Our experience demonstrated that RC with ileal conduit reconstruction in renal transplant recipients is safe and feasible. 相似文献9.

Background
An increase in the number of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) indicates endothelial damage and the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of CEC with various clinical parameters in pediatric renal transplant recipients.Methods
CEC, defined as CD45?CD146+, were enumerated by flow cytometry from the peripheral blood of 50 pediatric renal transplant recipients and 20 healthy controls. Clinical parameters, including renal function tests, fasting blood glucose, serum cholesterol and triglyceride, cyclosporine A (CsA) (trough and 2nd-hour) and tacrolimus (tac) trough blood levels and their association with CEC numbers were analyzed.Results
CEC numbers of patients were higher than those of controls (respectively, 128?±?89 cells/ml (42–468 cells/ml), 82?±?33 cells/ml (32–137 cells/ml), p?=?0.024). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between CEC numbers and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (r?=??0.300, p?=?0.012). There was also a statistically positive association between CEC numbers and transplant duration as well as cyclosporine trough level (respectively, r?=?0.397, p?=?0.004, r?=?0.714, p?=?0.004). CEC numbers in patients on tac and CsA were similar (p?=?0.716).Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that renal transplant recipients with high CsA trough blood level, longer transplant duration, and lower GFR, are at greater risk of developing endothelial damage. 相似文献10.

Background
Cardiovascular disease remains a main cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Determination of aortic stiffness with pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. We investigated arterial stiffness with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) after successful renal transplantation.Methods
We studied 197 patients (mean age = 53.2 ± 10.8 years) who underwent successful renal transplantation. baPWV was evaluated with a noninvasive automatic Omron Colin device. During follow-up (mean = 183.8 ± 108.9 months), we investigated parameters of sex, age, body mass index, duration before (dialysis) and after transplantation, and cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension and diabetes). In all subjects, fasting concentrations of serum creatinine, non-(HDL) high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (total cholesterol minus HDL -cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein -cholesterol, and triglyceride were also compared with those at enrollment.Results
Mean baPWV levels were 1519 ± 329 cm/s in our renal transplant recipients. baPWV increased independent of age, duration of dialysis before transplantation, and cardiovascular risk factors. Serum creatinine and dilation did not show any significant correlations to baPWV.Conclusion
In renal transplant recipients, baPWV may be more influenced by past clinical history before transplantation than by current condition. Noninvasive assessment of arterial stiffness with baPWV may be a useful and convenient indicator of cardiovascular disease after renal transplantation. 相似文献11.
Objective
To investigate the effect of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism on lipid metabolism among renal transplant recipients before and after transplantation. No prisoners or organs from prisoners were used in this study.Methods
ApoE gene polymorphism was detected with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism; serum lipid levels were measured with biochemical methods.Results
Serum lipid levels in the recipients were increased significantly at 3 months after renal transplantation, and further elevated at 6 months and 1 year. The recipients with higher total serum cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels only accounted for 2.9% and 7.6%, respectively, before renal transplantation; but for 28.6% and 46.7%, respectively, at 3 months (P < .01); 40.0% and 59.0% at 6 months; and 42.9% and 62.9% at 12 months. ApoE gene polymorphism showed no statistical difference in ApoE allele or ApoE genotype between the control and the study groups. The effect of ApoE genotype on serum lipid levels was different between controls and recipients either before or after renal transplantation. The levels of serum TC, TG, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ApoB, ApoE were: ε2/2+ε2/3; ε3/3; ε3/4+ε4/4 from low to high in controls and recipients before transplantation, but the levels of TG and ApoE reversed among recipients after renal transplantation.Conclusion
Renal transplant recipients are liable to develop hyperlipidemia, particularly hypertriglyceridemia among recipients with ApoE genotypes ε2/2 or ε2/3. 相似文献12.

Background
Good outcomes after renal transplantation are dependent on effective immunosuppression while minimizing infection. Alemtuzumab (Campath or Campath-1H) is an anti-CD52 humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody which induces rapid and sustained depletion of circulating lymphocytes and has been effectively used as an immunosuppressant in post-transplant induction therapy.Methods
We used the ImmuKnow assay to compare cell-mediated immune function in renal transplant patients treated with alemtuzumab or with conventional immunosuppressive tri-therapy. The ImmuKnow method determines the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from CD4 cells following stimulation with a mitogen.Results
We showed a statistically significant difference in the distribution of outcome after transplantation between the conventional and the Campath groups (P = 0.010). A significantly higher number of patients treated with alemtuzumab induction therapy were stable after transplantation compared to those treated with conventional immunosuppressive tri-therapy (96.6 vs. 75.7 %). ATP values were significantly higher in the conventional group compared to the Campath group at 180 days after transplantation (P < 0.001). ATP levels did not change significantly over time in clinically stable kidney recipients treated with alemtuzumab induction therapy (P = 0.554).Conclusions
The ImmuKnow assay is a useful tool for evaluating the global immune response in alemtuzumab-treated renal transplant patients. Alemtuzumab-depleting induction therapy remains effective for at least 180 days. 相似文献13.
Background
Polyoma BK virus nephropathy is a common complication after renal transplantation and is rarely seen in non-renal transplant recipients. There are only a couple of case reports of BK virus nephropathy in native kidneys in non-transplant patients, including a recent report of a 73-year-old patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia. A variety of treatment options, including leflunomide and cidofovir, were reported in these patients.Case diagnosis/treatment
Here we report the case of a 10-year-old boy with acute lymphatic leukemia who presented with non-oliguric hypertensive acute kidney injury at the 12th maintenance cycle of his chemotherapy. The workup supported the clear diagnosis of BK virus nephropathy with tubulointerstitial changes, and the patient responded favorably to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.Conclusions
Pediatric nephrologists need to consider BK virus nephropathy as a differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury in immunocompromised non-transplant patients. 相似文献14.

Background
Despite improved post-transplantation care, progress in long-term kidney allograft survival of diabetic renal transplant recipients (pre-DM RTR) is worse than that of non-diabetic recipients (non-DM). We hypothesized that there are other potential risk factors, that predispose RTR to adverse renal allograft outcomes.Methods
A total of 323 transplant recipients who underwent renal transplantation between March 2000 and January 2008 were recruited. The composite end-point consisted of serum creatinine (SCr) doubling, graft failure, and death. Baseline clinical data were recorded, and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism measurements of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-23, glutathione S-transferase (GST)A1, GSTM1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms were determined. The risk factors for developing the primary outcome were analyzed among these clinical and genetic factors.Results
Within a mean follow-up of 71.1 ± 24 months, there were 43 (13.3 %) patients with the primary outcome. Stepwise multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for the primary outcome of RTR. Renal transplant recipients who possessed the GSTM1 null genotype had a 2.2-fold risk (95 % CI: 1.10–4.40; P = 0.026) of developing the primary outcome. Additionally, RTR that had DM before transplantation (aHR: 3.31; 95 % CI: 1.77–6.20; P = 0.0002) or changes in SCr 6 to 12 months after transplantation (aHR: 2.83; 95 % CI: 1.29–6.19; P = 0.0095) had an increased risk of developing the primary outcome.Conclusions
In addition to the adverse role played by DM, the GSTM1 null genotype also has an unfavorable influence on the long-term allograft outcome of RTR. 相似文献15.

Background
Racial and ethnic disparities among North American patients with chronic kidney disease have received significant attention. In contrast, little is known about health-related outcomes of patients with end-stage renal disease among the Roma minority, also known as gypsies, compared to Caucasian individuals. We prospectively assessed the association between Roma ethnicity and long-term clinical outcomes in kidney transplant recipients.Methods
In a prevalent cohort of renal transplant recipients, followed up over a median of 94?months, we prospectively collected socio-demographic, medical (and transplant related) characteristics and laboratory data at baseline from 60 Roma and 1,003 Caucasian patients (mean age 45 (SD?=?11) and 49 (SD?=?13) years, 33 and 41% women, 18 and 17% with diabetes mellitus, respectively). Survival analyses examined the associations between Roma ethnicity and all-cause mortality and death-censored graft loss or death with functioning renal allograft.Results:
During the follow-up period, 341 patients (32%) died. Two-hundred eighty (26%) patients died with a functioning graft and 201 patients (19%) returned to dialysis. After multivariable adjustments, Roma ethnicity was associated with 77% higher risk of all-cause mortality (Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.77; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02, 3.07), two times higher risk of mortality with functioning graft (2.04 [1.17?C3.55]) and 77% higher risk of graft loss (1.77 [1.01?C3.13]), respectively.Conclusions
Roma ethnicity is independently associated with increased mortality risk and worse graft outcome in kidney transplant recipients. Further studies should identify the factors contributing to worse outcomes among Roma patients. 相似文献16.
Gastrointestinal (GI) complication used to be the second most common complication in renal transplant patients after infection (Bardaxoglou et al. in Transpl Int 6(3):148–152, 1993). Review of transplant registry reveals that GI complication is no longer the second most common type of complication after renal transplant, but that it is still a common cause of significant amount of deaths in renal transplant recipients (De Bartolomeis et al. in Transpl Proc 37(6):2504–2506, 2005). In a study of 1,515 adults with severe GI complication after renal transplant, Sarkio et al. (Transpl Int 17(9):505–510, 2004) reported that gastroduodenal ulcers followed by colon perforation were the two biggest groups of GI complications during the first year after renal transplantation. Colonic perforation is estimated to occur in about 1 % of all cases of renal transplant patients, and it does predispose to potentially fatal complication. About 50 % of all colonic perforation is due to complication of acute inflammation of diverticular disease (Bardaxoglou et al. in Transpl Int 6(3):148–152, 1993; Guice et al. in Am J Surg 138(1):43–48, 1979; Koneru et al. in Arch Surg 125(5):610–613, 1990; Coccolini et al. in Transpl Proc 41(4):1189–1190, 2009). This is particularly so because these patients were previously exposed to uremia before transplantation which alters their protein metabolism hence interfering with tissue healing there after (Carson et al. in Ann Surg 188(1):109–113, 1978). GI complications including colon perforation after renal transplantation have effect on a patient’s long-term survival (Gil-Vernet et al. in Transpl Proc 39(7):2190–2193, 2007). Despite this, the role of renal transplantation medication compared to anatomic anomaly in GI complication has been equivocal. 相似文献

Purpose
To analyze the safety and clinical outcome of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNUT) for native upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC) in renal transplant (RT) recipients.Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 956 RT recipients from January 2003 to December 2010 to evaluate the benefit of LNUT for patients who were diagnosed with de novo UC after renal transplantation.Results
Women predominated (10/11, 91 %) in the 11 patients with upper tract UC who underwent LNUT. Five patients underwent LNUT ipsilateral to the transplanted kidney, 4 patients underwent contralateral LNUT, and 2 patients underwent bilateral LNUT. Nine were operated with LNUT combining resection of bladder cuff, 2 with right ureteral cancer underwent open ureterectomy with bladder cuff due to severe adhesions attached to the lesion. The mean surgical duration was 184.2 min (105–305), the mean blood loss was 182.3 ml (20–500), and the mean hospitalization time was 6.7 days (5–9). The mean levels of preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine were 0.99 mg/dl (0.78–1.16) and 1.01 mg/dl (0.89–1.18), respectively. No intraoperative complications occurred. One patient died of multiple metastases at 13 months after LNUT. The mean follow-up of the remaining 10 patients after diagnosis was 21.7 months (3–48). Two patients had recurrent bladder cancer and underwent transurethral resection of the tumor. Eight patients showed no evidence of disease during the follow-up.Conclusions
LNUT is a safe and effective approach with low morbidity in transplant recipients, and this therapy provides less trauma, quicker recovery, and acceptable oncological outcomes. 相似文献18.

Background
Hyperuricemia is a common adverse event frequently found in renal transplant recipients with mizoribine (MZ). Hyperuricemia itself will be a cause of renal dysfunction, and renal dysfunction also will be a cause of hyperuricemia simultaneously. This study investigates frequency of hyperuricemia and renal failure in renal transplant recipients treated with high-dose MZ.Patients and Methods
From December 2007 to October 2015, there was a total of 32 living related renal transplant recipients treated with high-dose MZ. Of the 32 patients, 28 were treated with urate-lowering medications.Results
One patient received allopurinol (AP) and 13 patients received benzbromarone (BB). For 6 of them, their urate-lowering medications were converted to febuxostat (FX) form AP or BB. In the remaining 14 patients, FX was administered from the beginning. In 2 cases of ABO-incompatible living related renal transplant recipients who were maintained with high-dose MZ and BB, severe hyperuricemia and acute renal failure occurred. One patient was a 48-year-old man, and his creatinine (Cr) level increased to 8.14 mg/dL and his serum uric acid (UA) was 24.6 mg/dL. Another patient was a 57-year-old man, and his Cr level increased to 3.59 mg/dL and his UA was 13.2 mg/dL. In both cases Cr and UA were improved, and no finding of acute rejection and drug toxicity was observed in graft biopsy specimens. BB was switched to FX and discontinuance or reduction of MZ was done.Conclusion
Combination of MZ and BB has the risk of acute renal dysfunction after renal transplantation. Latent renal dysfunction should be watched for in renal transplant recipients receiving high-dose MZ. 相似文献19.

Introduction
Mammalian target rapamycin inhibitors (m-TORi) are increasingly used in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Yet, there is rising concern that they also could impair wound healing and favor the development of several surgical complications. This report was designed to evaluate both feasibility and safety of major surgery in liver transplant recipients receiving m-TORi–based immunosuppression without therapeutic discontinuation.Methods
From 2007 to 2012, six liver transplant recipients underwent nine major abdominal or thoracic surgical procedures without m-TORi discontinuation or specific dosage adjustment. Their characteristics and postoperative outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results
Indications for m-TORi were de novo or recurrent malignant disease in five patients and calcineurin inhibitors related neurologic toxicity in one patient. Abdominal procedures, thoracic procedures, and combined thoracic and abdominal procedures were performed in six, two, and one cases respectively. Emergency surgery was performed in one case and elective procedures were performed in eight cases, including five for malignant disease and three for late surgical complications following LT. No patient died postoperatively. One major complication was observed, but no patient required reoperation. No evisceration, incisional surgical site infection, or lymphocele occurred.Conclusions
Major surgery in liver transplant recipients receiving m-TOR inhibitors appears both feasible and safe without therapeutic discontinuation or specific dosage adjustment. 相似文献20.
