Cyclosporine disposition and long-term renal function in a 500-pound kidney transplant recipient.

Patient size has been suggested as a risk factor in kidney transplantation. We have followed a recipient of a cadaver kidney who became massively obese (232 kg, 511 lbs) 5 years posttransplantation. He has maintained stable renal function with no…

Remission of nephrotic syndrome in type 1 diabetes: long-term follow-up of patients in the Captopril Study.

In 1994, we reported a 3.4 +/- 0.8 year follow-up of the eight patients who experienced remission of nephrotic syndrome during the Collaborative Study Group-sponsored, multicenter trial of captopril therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes with…

Thrombopoietic status of patients on haemodialysis.

Thrombocytopenia is a potential dialysis-related treatment complication. Developments in bio-compatible dialyser membranes have decreased the occurrence of thrombocytopenia. We investigated whether thrombopoiesis is impaired in haemodialysis patients…

Vascular access for HD: aligning payment with quality.

The Fistula First Breakthrough Initiative (FFBI) has improved the awareness of the value of fistula creation in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The FFBI Health Policy Workgroup has been charged with reviewing the relationship of policy…

Effect of Immunosuppressive Therapy on the Occurrence of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Renal Transplant Recipients.

BACKGROUND Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a rare thrombotic microangiopathy, is characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Caused by genetic mutations in the alternative complement cascade, aHUS often…

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in paediatric critical care.

Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is gradually increasing in children admitted to critical care units partly because of increased awareness of this entity. Though serum creatinine has been used in most definitions, its inability to accurately…

Drug-induced acute renal failure: keys to recognizing and treating intrarenal toxicity.

Drug-induced acute tubular necrosis is a primary cause of acute renal failure (ARF); it may result from the use of such agents as aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, and radilocontrast media. To reduce the risk of aminoglycoside toxicity, prescribe the…

Drug-induced acute renal failure: recognizing and treating prerenal, postrenal, and pseudorenal injury.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and NSAIDs are among the drugs most commonly associated with acute renal failure (ARF). Patients at risk for ACE inhibitor-induced ARF include those with congestive heart failure (CHF) or compromised…

Kidney disease: a guide to early detection and long-term care.

Early detection and careful management of kidney disease can help slow or halt progression to renal failure. Early diagnosis is based on a history and physical examination, urinalysis (with dipstick testing for protein, blood, and pH), and…
