The Mean

Objective: The primary purpose is to define the mean renal artery anastomosis peak systolic velocity (RAA PSV) and the renal artery anastomosis to external iliac artery ratio (RAA-to-EIA) of renal transplant recipients without graft dysfunction. Moreover, to determine associations with type of vascular anastomosis and type of graft. Materials and Methods: This is a single-center retrospective analysis of kidney transplant recipients. Recorded variables included recipient age, type of vascular anastomosis, type of graft, RAA PSV, and external iliac artery PSV (EIA PSV). Such variables were evaluated on different postoperative follow-up periods. Results: There was a high degree of reliability between the RAA PSV and EIA PSV ( P < .001). The mean RAA PSV was 174 cm/s ± 72.9 cm/s with 95% confidence interval (CI) (162.2 cm/s-185.5 cm/s]. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of determining the normal range of RAA PSV and showed that a high PSV does not necessarily indicate dysfunction.

Transplanted Kidneys

Kidney transplantation is the cornerstone for renal treatment in patients with end-stage renal failure. Despite improvements in short-term outcomes of renal transplantation, kidney allograft loss remains a huge challenge. The aim of the study was to assess factors influencing the durability of transplanted kidneys among transplant recipients in South Africa. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. A random sampling was used to select 171 participants. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews developed from in-depth consideration of relevant literature. Data were coded and entered into the SPSS software, version 24. The entered data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the average durability of transplanted kidneys was 9.07 years among selected kidney transplant recipients in South Africa. Factors associated with the durability of transplanted kidneys included age, the sewerage system and strict immunosuppressive adherence, all with a P-value = .000, followed by the mode of transport (P-value = .001) and support system (P-value = .004). Other variables including demographics, the healthcare system, medication and lifestyle modification engagement were not associated with the durability of transplanted kidneys. Understanding the factors influencing the durability of transplanted kidneys among kidney transplant recipients in South Africa is crucial. The study revealed associated factors and gaps which may be contributory factors to kidney allograft loss. This study provides an opportunity to introduce specific interventions to nephrology professionals to promote prolonged graft durability. It is recommended that a specific intervention model be developed, which targets South African kidney recipients taking into account the significant variables in this study and the socio-economic status of the country.
