Long-Term Patient Survival in a Pediatric Renal Transplantation Program

Prevention of Post-transplant Cardiovascular Disease – Report and Recommendations of an Ad Hoc Group

“…Most available data pertain only to pediatric kidney recipients, because once recipients reach adulthood, they are no longer followed by the pediatric registry. A single-center analysis showed that, of children dying with graft function, cardiac events accounted for four (11%) of 36 deaths (83); in another series, deaths occurring 10 or more years post-transplant were all due to cardiovascular causes (84). Risk factors associated with increased CVD in adult kidney recipients (85) have also been reported in pediatric kidney recipients.…”

Hyperlipidemia in pediatric kidney transplant recipients treated with cyclosporine

“…Because patient and graft survival rates have improved for pediatric kidney Tx recipients, attention should now be given to CVD (and to CVD risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia), which may have an impact on outcome late post Tx [4,5]. Two small, single-center studies reported increased CVD mortality in long-term pediatric kidney recipients [6,7]. We used our University of Minnesota Tx database to determine the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in pediatric kidney recipients on cyclosporine (CsA) immunosuppression and to examine pre-and post-Tx factors associated with the development of hyperlipidemia.…”

“…/2015/ ТОМ 12/ № 5 АКТУАЛЬНОСТЬ Успешная трансплантация почки от живого родствен-ного донора (ЖРД) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] является самым эффективным методом лечения детей с терминальной стадией хрони-ческой почечной недостаточности (ХПН): улучшаются рост и развитие детей, о чем свидетельствуют отдаленные результаты наблюдений многочисленных специализиро-ванных медицинских центров [3][4][5][6][7]. Ранее проведенные исследования были сосредоточены на изучении и анализе предпосылок, увеличивающих вероятность или реальность наступления неблагоприятных событий при пересадке органа [3][4][5]9].…”
