Serial Changes in Body Composition After Kidney Transplantation
BACKGROUND: A significant long-term nutritional problem after kidney transplantation is obesity. We examined the changes in body composition after transplantation and its determinants.METHODS: A total…2015 American Transplant Congress
Hyperuricemia Takes a Toll in Graft Function, Left Ventricular Diameters and Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Serum uric acid (UA) levels correlate with many recognized…2015 American Transplant Congress
Relations Among Hyperuricemia, Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism and has well known anti-oxidant effects. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) are well-known antioxidant…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Proton Pomp Inhibitors on Hypomagnesemia and Arterial Stiffness in Renal Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Hypomagnesemia predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population and accelerated loss of kidney function in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Proton pomp inhibitors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Exercise Therapy Improves Body Composition Change After Kidney Transplantation
Department of Renal Transplantation Surgery, Sapporo Hokuyu Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.
Objectives: Long-term graft and patient survival after kidney transplant is affected by metabolic disorders such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes. The aim of this study…2015 American Transplant Congress
Ischemia-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Regulates Autophagy to Determine the Severity of Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). As essential cellular stress responses against…2015 American Transplant Congress
Bladder Drainage of Pancreas Transplants Alone: Friend or Foe?
Introduction: Immunological monitoring of Pancreas Transplants Alone (PTA) remains a challenge and bladder drainage is thought to facilitate early detection of rejection but may lead…2015 American Transplant Congress
Excessive Weight Gain After Pancreas Transplant: Transitioning from Type 1 to Type 2 Diabetes?
AIM:Excessive weight gain (EWG) after pancreas transplantation may increase the risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to define the incidence,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Living Kidney Donation on Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance
The kidney contributes to glucose hemostasis through processes of insulin metabolism, gluconeogenesis, and glucose filtration. Little is known on insulin sensitivity in living kidney donors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels Positively Correlate With Peripheral Arterial Stiffness in Kidney Transplantation Patients
Objective: Recent studies found osteoprotegerin (OPG) is associated with increased pulse wave velocity and may reflect endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to…
