This strategy must thus address the strengths and weaknesses of available education mechanisms and develop the capacities needed to augment current processes. 6.3 Professional Standards – To develop and maintain global professional standards in the provision [web.archive.org]
If we have your trust, we can build on our strengths and overcome our weaknesses. Shashikanth Majagi India It is my great pleasure to serve as Editor for the Journal. The comments from the reviewers/editors are fair and meaningful. [peertechz.com]
Exercise: Most people are weak after any surgery. Transplant recipients must recover both from the operation as well as the illness or injury that caused the need for a transplant. [organdonor.gov]
[…] anti-inflammatory drugs that suppress the immune system as a whole) Dexamethasone Prednisolone Prednisone Atherosclerosis Excess hair on the face Facial puffiness Fragile skin High blood pressure High blood sugar levels (as occur in diabetes mellitus) Muscle weakness [msdmanuals.com]
The morbidity of ECMO is substantial, often tracheostomy is required, there is commonly renal dysfunction requiring haemofiltration, and muscle weakness postoperatively leads to delayed mobilisation. [doi.org]
- Malaise
A 37-year-old woman presented with malaise, upper abdominal pain and fever seven months after renal transplantation. She was seronegative for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and had received a kidney from a seropositive donor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Vomiting
Patient was admitted with irregular fever, severe headache, nausea and vomiting in the department of Nephrology on July 2007. After admission patient was thoroughly evaluated and clinically found features of meningitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms may include fever, rash, jaundice, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and increased risk of infections. These reactions can be fatal. [msdmanuals.com]
- Nausea
Patient was admitted with irregular fever, severe headache, nausea and vomiting in the department of Nephrology on July 2007. After admission patient was thoroughly evaluated and clinically found features of meningitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If rejection occurs soon after transplantation, symptoms may include fever, chills, nausea, fatigue, and sudden changes in blood pressure. [msdmanuals.com]
Rejection medications may have side effects of increased blood pressure, headaches, diarrhea, and nausea. Also, because rejection medications weaken the immune system, it can be hard for liver transplant patients to fight infections. [slideshare.net]
Six patients were readmitted once after transplantation: 2 for an elevated creatinine level (1 of whom was diagnosed as having rejection), 1 after a rise in the IgG isoagglutinin titer for multiple days of inpatient plasmapheresis, 1 for severe nausea [dx.doi.org]
Cardiovascular
- Heart Disease
The conditions that can exclude the organ donation are HIV, severe infections, kidney disease, heart disease and any type of Cancer. Organ Donors Both living and brain dead can be organ donors. [medicalindiatourism.com]
She survived for nearly five years before dying of heart disease and pneumonia. After the operation, Dr. Lawler was besieged with letters from doctors wanting to learn from him and from patients seeking his services. [nytimes.com]
The Straits Times understands that he also suffers from other health problems, including high blood pressure and heart disease. [web.archive.org]
Heart and lung illustration from Gray’s Anatomy. A wide range of heart diseases may make transplantation necessary. This usually follows conditions such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy or weakening of the heart muscle. [donorrecovery.org]
Kidney failure, heart disease, lung disease and cirrhosis of the liver are all conditions that might be effectively treated by a transplant. [health.howstuffworks.com]
- Hypertension
Author information 1 Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, and the Center for Kidney Research and Therapeutics at the Feinberg Cardiovascular Research Institute, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. 2 School of Biological Sciences and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Obese patients often have diabetes and hypertension as a result of being overweight. Seventy percent of hypertensive dialysis patients and 75 percent of diabetic dialysis patients survive less than five years, previous research has shown. [web.archive.org]
- Hypotension
Vasopressin, a catecholamine-sparing vasopressor and antidiuretic agent, may be an effective agent in the treatment of refractory hypotension after brain death prior to organ transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] for Rejection All infants underwent endomyocardial biopsy for the detection of acute cellular and humoral rejection at intervals of approximately three to four weeks, or earlier if possible rejection was indicated by changes in clinical status (fever, hypotension [doi.org]
Urogenital
- Kidney Failure
Kidney illustration from Gray’s Anatomy. Inherited kidney diseases such as polycystic kidney disease as well as diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of kidney failure requiring transplant. [donorrecovery.org]
In general, only one in four of those who suffer from both kidney failure and other major health complications will survive beyond five years. At the end of last year, 555 renal patients in Singapore were waiting for a kidney transplant. [web.archive.org]
Studies have shown that obese patients with chronic kidney failure wait longer for transplants and consequently have poorer outcomes than non-obese patients. [news.uic.edu]
Kidney failure, heart disease, lung disease and cirrhosis of the liver are all conditions that might be effectively treated by a transplant. [health.howstuffworks.com]
- Renal Insufficiency
Acute renal insufficiency (ARI) is a frequent complication of nonrenal solid organ transplantation and may be responsible for an unfavorable outcome, particularly if dialysis is required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In patients with renal insufficiency, all of the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors except abacavir require dosage adjustment and should be given postdialysis in patients on renal replacement therapy. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]
Workup
For example, a status code of "pretransplant workup in progress" indicates the patient is interested in transplantation (step B complete). [doi.org]
However, the transplantation process involves a series of steps related to medical suitability, interest in transplantation, pretransplant workup, and movement up a waiting list to eventual transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients donating a kidney underwent a standard workup, including computed tomographic urography, blood work, urinalysis, medical history intake, and physical examination. [dx.doi.org]
Treatment
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia usually occurs within the first year and has been attributed to immunosuppressive treatment, infections, or underlying post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis of head and neck cancer arising in solid organ transplantation recipients is proven to have poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is however, widely accepted that the prognosis for heart failure in adults is improving and the new treatments for adult heart failure are beginning to permeate into paediatrics. [doi.org]
The cancer would probably return in the new organ, the doctors told De Leon, 50, a construction superintendent who cried when he learned of his prognosis. [sfgate.com]
Etiology
The etiology of post-transplantation ARI is poorly understood, with only isolated clinical cases being reported, most imputed to drug toxicity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What This Study Adds: This study of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients identifies an elevated risk of numerous cancer types in addition to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and provides evidence for a key role of Epstein-Barr virus in the etiology of most [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
In a series of 84 HCV-coinfected liver transplant recipients in Spain, 64% experienced at least 1 infection (largely non-OIs) and 43% developed severe infections, which proved fatal in 19%.(12) Infectious etiologies were bacterial in 45%, and fungal in [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]
Epidemiology
We reviewed medical, laboratory and epidemiological records at our hospital, and the literature concerning cases of organ-transmitted WNV infections and WNV screening of organ donors in Italy and worldwide. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Transplantation decision-making in aHUS has evolved over this time with expanding knowledge of pathophysiology and genetics, alongside refined plasma exchange and anticoagulation protocols and improved centre experience. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Prophylaxis against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections is often used to prevent infection from common pathogens during high-risk periods. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
