Abstract Background and Aims Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a major cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD)1. It represents the primary cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) for 25% of the dialysis population1 and 45% of the transplant population. For patients with GN requiring renal replacement therapy, kidney transplantation is associated with superior outcomes compared with dialysis2. The possibility of recurrence of the original disease after transplantation was described in a seminal paper more than 40 years ago, and it is now clear that all forms of GN may recur after kidney transplantation.3 To study the recurrence of glomerulonephritis post-transplant in a tertiary care centre. Method 120 renal transplant recipients were analyzed from September 2015 to August 2019 at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, Bangalore. It was a retrospective analysis of data Results 120 adult patients underwent kidney transplantation, out of these 70 had GN as primary cause of kidney disease. 85.8% were males, 14.2 % females. 58.9 % were biopsy proven GN, remaining 41.1 % diagnosed based on history and clinical presentation. All but one patient had their first transplant. Out of these kidney transplant recipients 08 (11.4%) had recurrence of GN.  From these 4/08 was recurrent IgA N, 2/08 were PGNMID, 1/08 MGN, 1/08 aHUS. Graft loss due to recurrent GN was seen in 1/08 patients (12.5%). Conclusion Our study showed that 11.4 % of kidney transplant recipients with GN as their cause of ESRD had recurrent GN post kidney transplantation. IgAN was the most type of GN that recurred most frequently followed by PGNMID. Recurrence of GN was in par with other studies and did not affect graft survival

Background: Dialysis-dependent patients and kidney transplant recipients may be at increased risk for Achilles tendon rupture (ATR). Methods: We studied Medicare patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from 1999 through 2013. Patients were categorized as waitlisted for a transplant, not waitlisted, or received a transplant. We performed multivariate negative binomial regression using demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and year of study entry to estimate adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRRs), identify ATR risk factors, and determine treatment patterns and outcomes. Results: We identified 1091 ATRs (incidence, 3.80/10 000 person-years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.58-4.03). Compared with transplant recipients, nonwaitlisted patients had a lower incidence (aIRR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.37-0.53), and waitlisted patients had a similar incidence (aIRR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.78-1.12) of ATR. ATR incidence was higher among patients taking fluoroquinolones (aIRR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.32-1.84) and corticosteroids (aIRR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.44-2.05) compared with those who did not. Patients with ATR were younger, had higher mean body mass index, and had fewer comorbidities than patients without ATR. Seventeen percent of patients received operative treatment within 14 days of ATR diagnosis. The 30-day cumulative incidence of operative site infections was 6.5%. Conclusion: The incidence of ATR was higher among transplant recipients and waitlisted patients compared with nonwaitlisted patients. Younger age, higher body mass index, fewer comorbidities, fluoroquinolone use, and corticosteroid use were risk factors for ATR. Patients were more likely to receive nonoperative than operative treatment for ATR. Those who underwent operative treatment had a low incidence of operative site infection. Level of Evidence: Prognostic level III, comparative study.

COVID-19 disease has significantly affected the transplant community by leading to decreased transplant activity and increased waiting list time. As expected, COVID-19 causes substantial mortality in both end-stage renal disease and kidney transplant populations. This is due to underlying chronic kidney disease and a high prevalence of comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in this group. Transplant programs have faced the difficult decision of weighing the risks and benefits of transplantation during the pandemic. On one hand there is a risk of COVID-19 exposure leading to infection while patients are on maximum immunosuppression. Alternatively, there are risks of delaying transplantation, which will increase waitlist-time and may lead to waitlist-associated morbidity and mortality. Cautious and thoughtful selection of both the recipient's and donor's post-transplant management is required during the pandemic to mitigate the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. In this review article we aimed to discuss previous publications related to clinical outcomes of COVID-19 disease in kidney transplant recipients, end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis or on the transplant waiting-list and precautions transplant centers should take in decision making for recipient and donor selection and immunosuppressive management during the pandemic. Nevertheless, transplantation in this milieu does seem to be the correct decision with a careful patient and donor selection with safeguard protocols for infection prevention. Each center should do risk assessment based on their patient's age and medical comorbidities, waitlist time, degree of sensitization, cold ischemia time, status of vaccination, and severity of pandemic in their region.

Insomnia Severity

AbstractThe prevalence of insomnia is greater in end-stage renal disease. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of insomnia and subclinical insomnia in patients with various dialysis therapy and kidney transplant recipients, in order to assess the severity of insomnia and examine whether there is a difference in severity among groups. In cross-sectional study, we evaluated 120 patients with terminal renal failure. Based on therapy, patients were divided into four groups: hemodiafiltration, standard bicarbonate dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. The severity of insomnia was evaluated through the use of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Most patients who reported any kind of insomnia problems with ISI were on conventional dialysis (80%), followed by hemodiafiltration (76.7%) and peritoneal dialysis (63.3%). Transplant recipients had least difficulties with insomnia (46.7%). Insomnia Severity Index showed that insomnia in end-stage renal patients is not very severe. Most of the patients had “no clinically significant insomnia”. Our findings indicate that patients on hemodiafiltration and transplant recipients have a significantly lower score on Insomnia Severity Index. Patients with end-stage renal disease have high frequency insomnia problems. However, our study shows that insomnia in these patients is not severe. Insomnia is the most frequent and severest in patients on standard bicarbonate dialysis.
