Introduction: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in the transplanted kidney is extremely rare. Case report: A 42-year-old female underwent a living-related donor kidney transplant from her 60-year-old mother due to glomerulonephritis leading to end-stage renal disease. Ultrasonography, nine years after transplantation, revealed a lower pole renal tumor in the renal graft with a suspicious image of malignant neoplasm on computed tomography. The patient underwent partial nephrectomy and histological analysis revealed clear cell carcinoma. Final considerations: After one year of follow-up, serum creatinine levels are normal and there are no signs of metastasis or tumor recurrence.
Introdução: A incidência de carcinoma de células renais no rim transplantado é extremamente rara. Relato de caso: Mulher de 42 anos foi submetida a transplante renal, com doadora viva relacionada, de sua mãe de 60 anos, devido a glomerulonefrite, levando a doença renal em estágio terminal.Ultrassonografia, 9 anos após a transplante, revelou tumor renal de pólo inferior no enxerto renal com imagem suspeita de neoplasia maligna na tomografia computadorizada. A paciente foi submetida à nefrectomia parcial e a análise histológica revelou carcinoma de células claras.Considerações finais: Após um ano de seguimento, os níveis séricos de creatinina estão normais e não há sinais de metástases ou recorrência tumoral.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the temperatures of kidney transplants performed at Hospital Municipal São José, Joinville/SC, throughout the period of cold ischemia and whether this temperature is in line with what is recommended in the literature. Method: Prospective analysis based on all kidney grafts that was used for kidney transplant in the unit of kidney transplant of Hospital Municipal São José. Results: The study analyzed that the current method of graft conservation partially meets the expected values, to maintain the recommended temperature. Conclusion: It is important to maintain studies and analyzes on the subject for continuous improvement in graft storage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
