OBJECTIVE Recently usage of sirolimus as the primary immunosuppressant is widening among kidney transplant recipients. We reviewed the clinical follow-up of patients transplanted at our center using sirolimus protocols. METHODS Sirolimus including primary immunosuppressive treatment protocols were

We report a patient with end-stage renal disease status after two renal transplantations. Milky-like ascites was noted since the immunosuppressant agent was switched to sirolimus (1 mg/day). Chylous ascites was diagnosed owing to the triglyceride of dialysate to serum being 15.98:15.99. Series

Chylous complications, which occur also in the profile of vascularsurgical interventions with considerable frequency, are challenging with regard to their adequate management. Aim & method: Compact short overview on epidemiological, classifying, symptomatic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of

Two patients developed chylous complications following abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. One patient had chylous ascitis and was successfully treated by a peritoneo-caval shunt. The other patient developed a lymph cyst, which gradually resorbed after puncture. Chylous complications following aortic

Chylous leakage is caused by interruption of lymphatic vessels carrying triglyceride-rich lymph during para-aortic lymph node dissection in patients with gynecological malignancies. Our search of literature revealed no report like our case that the renal atrophy was late onset after healing of the

OBJECTIVE X-ray phase-contrast imaging (PCI) provides additional information beyond absorption characteristics by detecting the phase shift of the X-ray beam passing through material. The grating-based system works with standard polychromatic X-ray sources, promising a possible clinical

A 65-year-old man underwent a laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with a radical retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for transitional cell carcinoma in the pyelon of the left kidney associated with a paraaortal lymphadenopathy. Four weeks later the patient presented with weight loss, a distended abdomen and

The investigation is based on 260 observations of patients with ascitis. According to the character of ascitis the patients were distributed as follows: chyloperitoneum--in 19 patients, serous ascitis--in 210, lymphatic--in 4, ascitis-peritonitis--in 27 patients. Milky colour of the liquid, content

OBJECTIVE The present review is focused on the management of lymphatic, chylous, and thoracic duct lesions following head and neck surgery, with particular attention to these complications after neck dissection. Postoperative scenarios may include chylous fistula, chylothorax, chylomediastinum,

BACKGROUND Immunosuppressive protocols containing everolimus (EVR) preserve good renal function in kidney transplantation (KT), although they are often complicated by several adverse events. We have evaluated the efficacy and safety of a protocol with late (1 month after KT) EVR

BACKGROUND Reducing side effects of immunosuppressive regimens has become a priority in transplantation medicine because of the large number of patients and grafts that succumb to infection in the short term and cardiovascular disease in the long term. The Symphony study was a 12-month prospective,
