Viral DNA was detected in 45.3% of the patients. Most patients tested positive for CMV (25.4%) or BK (21.2%). Although some differences in the frequency and type of viruses were observed between bone marrow and solid organ transplant, no association between viral load, virus disease and transplant type in adult or pediatric recipients was found. Analyzing all the recipients together, CMV was more frequently detected in serum and in patients with symptoms and complications. ...

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient, various functions at the cellular level, it has signals in metabolic pathways and is involved in the production of cellular energy. In grade 3 to 5 kidney disease, the patient suffers alterations in the homeostasis of calcium, phosphorus secondary to dysregulation of FGF 23 (Fibroblast growth factor) and PTH (paratohormone), increasing the risk of vascular calcification, in kidney transplantation, even the levels of FGF 23 and PTH can remain elevated for...

The use of kidney allografts with multiple renal arteries (MRAs) in kidney transplantation is no longer considered a contraindication to renal transplantation. Traditional decision on best management of accessory renal vessels has been guided by surgeons’ surgical experience and institutional experience. The role of inferior epigastric artery (IEA) as an inflow vessel has often been relegated as a secondary option for allografts with MRAs due to perception of greater technical challenge and wo...

Posttransplant Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Najoua Ammar, Mariame Meziane, Nadia Ismaili, Laila Benzekri and Karima Senouci

Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 9

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are frequent in organ recipients; they are most often of B lymphocyte origin; on the other hand, CD30+ t-cell PTLD remain rare; we report the observation of a case of CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma in a renal transplant recipient....
