Pharmaco-economic evaluation of kidney transplantation at the University Hospital Establishment of Oran: cost analysis and implications
CONCLUSION: This study estimated the cost of kidney transplantation at the UHEO and revealed that the cost of the first year is the most important due to many factors. It also showed that costs tend to decrease with the age of the transplant and the clinical stability of the recipient.PMID:38567524 | DOI:10.1684/ndt.2024.72 (Source: Nephrologie and Therapeutique)

Global trends in chronic kidney disease-related mortality: a systematic review protocol
Introduction In recent decades, all-cause mortality has increased among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), influenced by factors such as aetiology, standards of care and access to kidney replacement therapies (dialysis and transplantation). The recent COVID-19 pandemic also affected mortality over the past few years. Here, we outline the protocol for a systematic review to investigate global temporal trends in all-cause mortality among patients with CKD at any stage from 1990 to current. We also aim to assess temporal trends in the mortality rate associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and analysis We w...

AA Amyloidosis: A Contemporary View
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAmyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is an organ- or life-threatening complication of chronic inflammatory disorders. Here, we review the epidemiology, causes, pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of AA amyloidosis.Recent FindingsThe incidence of AA amyloidosis has declined due to better treatment of the underlying diseases. Histopathological examination is the gold standard of diagnosis, but magnetic resonance imaging can be used to detect cardiac involvement. There is yet no treatment option for the clearance of amyloid fibril deposits; therefore, the management strate...

Nutrition Evaluation and Counseling for Potential Living Kidney Donors: An Opportunity for Lifelong Change
AbstractPurpose of ReviewIn this review, we discuss the importance of nutrition evaluation and counseling for living kidney donor candidates (LKDCs) and the roles of the dietitian and transplant physician.Recent FindingsIn the past decades, living kidney donors are becoming older and have higher rates of obesity and glucose intolerance. Like all adult populations, living kidney donors are at risk for developing diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and kidney disease post-donation, and risks may rise as these chronic diseases rise in the general population. Further, implications may be more serious for individuals living with o...

Vascular access surgery training in the United Kingdom is currently perceived (by trainees) to be inadequate
CONCLUSIONS: Competence in access surgery is an increasing requirement of a consultant vascular surgeon. More formalised training is required to adequately train the next generation of vascular surgeons.PMID:38563082 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0480 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)
