摘要:

Hyperacute rejection of renal allografts is usually mediated by IgG antibody, but recent studies indicate that cold-reacting IgM alloantibodies are also associated with immediate malfunction of renal allografts. We report 2 cases of cold-reacting IgM-mediated allograft malfunction in which immediate posttransplant biopsies resembled hyperacute rejection. This reaction can probably be prevented by warming the kidney just before transplantation.

摘要:

Vesicoureteral reflux has been considered as a predisposing factor to the development of urinary infection in adults. In renal transplant patients, it has been suggested as a risk factor for graft failure. We report a patient with a normal voiding cystourethrogram after renal transplantation who was demonstrated to have mild reflux during an acute infection. Following treatment of the infection, the reflux disappeared. This patient’s course suggests that reversible reflux in renal transplant recipients may be a result of infection and is not necessarily a harbinger of graft failur

摘要:

A study has been made of possible interrelationships between circulating vitamin A concentration and indicators of altered calcium homeostasis in 31 patients with stable chronic renal failure. Plasma retinol concentrations were high, possibly as a result of increased retinol-binding-protein concentrations secondary to renal failure. There was no correlation between retinol concentration and any other measurement, including vitamin A intake. However, there were significant correlations between plasma parathyroid hormone and calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, urea, and creatinine concentrations; and those patients with radiological sub-periosteal erosions tended to have the highest concentrations of circulating parathyroid hormone. Our data give no support to the contention that vitamin A status has any bearing on the progression and severity of the hyperparathyroid bone disease of renal failure.

摘要:

10 long-term hemodialysis patients had immediate and redistribution thallium-201 myocardial imaging performed after a course of hemodialysis. Subjects had EKGs done on the same day before and after dialysis. 3 of the 10 subjects had resting thallium-201 myocardial imaging obtained on non-dialysis days. 60% of the electrocardiograms showed changes with dialysis. All 13 thallium studies were abnormal, showing multiple transient filling defects at rest. Most subjects had permanent filling defects as well. It is concluded that hemodialysis patients have a high frequency of abnormal thallium-201 myòcardial images at rest. The cause of these abnormal studies is uncertain
