Incidental Discovery of a Donor-Derived Urothelial Carcinoma Following Kidney Transplantation

Kathryn Milks, Sriyesh Krishnan, Melanie Caserta, Robert J Stratta and Hisham Tchelepi

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: June 20, 2015

Urothelial carcinoma in renal transplant patients has been well described, particularly in the Asian literature, owing to the higher incidence of the disease in this part of the world, both in the native urothelial system and in the transplanted kidney. In the United States, however, urothelial carcinoma after kidney transplant is quite rare in the native urothelial system and extraordinarily rare in the renal allograft. It has been proposed in areas with a high incidence of urothelial carcinoma...

Immunogenicity of Shared Molecular Epitopes in the Humoral Response as Biomarker of the Rupture of Immune Tolerance in Transplantation

Manuel Muro, Francisco Boix, Jorge Eguia, Maria R. Moya-Quiles, Gema GonzalezMartinez and Santiago Llorente

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: March 06, 2015

Th true role of donor-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody (DSA) response to a solid allograft is not fully understood. Recently, new serum-screening assays (mainly based in the luminex technology) have strongly increased and defined the detection and specificity analysis of DSA in allosensitized patients in waiting list of transplantation or in transplanted recipients....

Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation

Kirk B. Russ and Ashwani K. Singal

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: March 02, 2015

Since the introduction of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score in 2002 for listing patients for liver transplantation, frequency and proportion of simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) transplantation has increased by over 300%. This is mainly due to incorporation of renal function and serum creatinine as one of the major factors in determining the MELD score. ...

A Letter of Reminder to all Nephrologists and Surgeons: The importance of Sticking to KDOQI Guidelines for Selection and Placement of Hemodialysis Access

Ethem Unal

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: February 26, 2015

Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Vascular Access have defied the access related care for patients with end-stage renal disease [1]. However, the standard of care across the world has fallen short of the KDOQI targets. One potential explanation for these shortcomings is the lack of compelling evidence in the literature to support the recommendations. ...

Auto Transplantation of Adipose and Adipose Derived Stem Cells

Jay M. Pensler

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: February 16, 2015

Auto transplantation of adipose cells and adipose derived stem cells is an increasingly popular procedure in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Utilizing liposuction to harvest an individual's fat the lipo-aspirate that was once harvested, is purified prior to auto transplantation. A number of techniques including low speed centrifugation, decanting, and/or blotting the various layers of the aspirated are utilized to increase the harvest of multi-potential stem cells and adipose cells while removing col...
