A good alternative to reduce the kidney shortage: kidneys from nonheartbeating donors

Transplantation

Abstract

Because of the shortage of kidneys available for transplantation, we began in 1985 to harvest kidneys from non-heartbeating (NHB) donors. We compared the results of a group of 66 kidney recipients from NHB donors (NHB group) with 122 kidney recipients from heartbeating donors (HB group). We analyzed, in the NHB group, the influence of ischemia times in graft survival and we tested the best cut-offs by receiver operating characteristic curves. We also studied, using a univariate and multivariate Cox hazard model, the capacity of different variables to predict graft loss. Patient and graft survival were similar in both groups during the follow-up. The percentage of delayed graft function was the only significant difference between both groups (NHB group 62% vs. HB group 32%; P=0.0001). Delayed graft function, in the NHB group, is influenced by the warm ischemia time, which is directly related to the number of days to achieve a serum creatinine<300 mmol/L (P=0.0001). The best cut-off times in this group were 45 min for warm ischemia time and 22 hr for cold ischemia time. Recipients have a greater likelihood of losing the graft beyond those limits (P=0.017, relative risk: 7.3). The incidence of acute rejection was similar in both g...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
