- For HIV-positive patients with end-stage renal disease, the prospect of receiving a kidney from an HIV-infected donor will likely be a very welcome one, considering the alternative: potentially waiting for years on a transplant list and receiving dialysis multiple times per week.

- The lives of three Los Angeles-area kidney transplant patients were transformed by one of the West Coast's first three-way living donor kidney transplant chains, made possible through the generosity of a non-directed, altruistic kidney donor from New York City -- announced today at a joint news conference. (news-medical.net)
- Abu Dhabi: Three patients have received lifesaving organ transplants in a triple swap kidney transplant in Abu Dhabi. (gulfnews.com)
- This recent successful collaboration between the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and another local hospital to complete three simultaneous transplants further reinforces the UAE's vision, and establishes the country as a preferred healthcare destination in the region for patients seeking a compatible donor, as well as an opportunity to combat kidney failure, the hospital said in a statement. (gulfnews.com)
- Many patients remain on the transplant waiting list for too long, which puts their lives in danger. (gulfnews.com)

- Looking retrospectively at 382 blood samples taken at various time points from 51 lung transplant patients, the researchers found that the two models were highly correlated. (genomeweb.com)
- Analyzing 435 samples from 59 heart transplant patients, they found that the two methods were still highly correlated, although not as close as for the lung transplants. (genomeweb.com)
- We provide one-on-one support and resources for patients who are working to find a living donor. (upmc.com)
- This finding is supported by 2 reports of patients undergoing liver transplant. (medscape.com)
Organ recipients1
- After unexplained neurologic illness occurred in two organ recipients, an investigation was initiated. (cdc.gov)
Antibody6
- The four groups did not show differences in the development of de novo donor-specific antibody and acute rejection. (physiciansweekly.com)
- Briefly, HTLV antibody screening was performed retrospectively in all specimens collected from solid organ donors and recipients attended since the year 2008. (gencat.cat)

- A blood sample, which was taken after the donor had received a large number of blood transfusions, had been negative for HIV antibody. (cdc.gov)
Cohort2
- A prospective multicenter cohort of LTRs was identified in the four lung transplant centers. (nature.com)
- The heart cohort had lower levels of donor-derived cfDNA, so inferring the donor genotype was harder, the authors wrote in the study. (genomeweb.com)
Subsequently2
- This chapter is devoted to what a pathologist unfamiliar with transplant pathology needs to know in order to do the best possible postmortem examination of a transplant recipient, focusing on the performance (preparation, dissection, and gross pathology), particularly those aspects that need to be done appropriately in preparation or at the autopsy table, because poor performance cannot be subsequently undone. (medscape.com)
- Subsequently, all 4 organ donor recipients were tested and had positive results for West Nile Virus RNA. (cdc.gov)
Tissue transplants1
- In Europe, hundreds of thousands of tissue transplants are performed each year, and in 1999 an estimated 750 000 people in the United States of America received human tissue, twice as many as in 1990. (who.int)

- The next step, which Veale reported recently in the New England Journal of Medicine , is to expand the donor pool internationally, possibly into Canada or Europe, similar to what happened with the bone marrow registry. (sciencecodex.com)
- Donor chains have enormous potential to expand the donor pool and to provide better matched organs for the many individuals who are in desperate need of lifesaving transplants," Kapur said. (news-medical.net)
Received an organ transplant1
- This list of notable organ transplant donors and recipients includes people who were the first to undergo certain organ transplant procedures or were people who made significant contributions to their chosen field and who have either donated or received an organ transplant at some point in their lives, as confirmed by public information.
