Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ORT and RART at Bakirkoy Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital between June 2016 and December 2018 constituted the target population of this study. The patient group was divided into two groups as per the surgical technique (i.e., open vs. robot-assisted). Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative data of all patients were collected prospectively. The QoL of the patients was assessed preoperatively and on the postoperative 30th day. Results: 67 patients who underwent ORT and 60 patients who underwent RART were included. The mean patient age and BMI were calculated as 40,9 ± 11,6 years and 24,4 ± 2,9 kg/m2, respectively. While mean total ischemia time was shorter in the ‘open’ group, incision length, duration of surgical drainage and hospital stay were shorter in t...

Glomerular disease patterns can change geographical areas and populations decade by decade. Our aim is to present Turkey's primary glomerular disease pattern from 2009 to 2017. Method 3878 native kidney biopsy records were assessed in the Turkish Society of Nephrology Glomerulopathy (TSN-GOLD) Working Group Registry. Secondary disease (lupus, etc.) and transplant biopsies do not enroll in the registry. These records divided into four periods, before 2009, 2009 to 2013, 2013 to 2017, and 2017 to current. Results A total of 3858 patients (M = 2173, K = 1685) were examined. There was no difference in the distribution of number of patients according to periods (Q1 = 968, Q2 = 960, Q3 = 968, Q4 = 962). Nephrotic syndrome was the most common biopsy indication in all quarters (58.6%, 53%, 44.1%, 51.6%, ...

In current study, it was retrospectively evaluated whether the live donor kidney recipients (LDKRs) under desensitization (DS) were exposed to more AG loss, lower AG survival and more complications. Method In 17 of 269 LDKRs had high anti-HLA DSA were found prior to kidney transplantation (KTX). DS was performed with plasmapheresis (PF) and rituximab (RTX) before KTX. In order to determine the risks of DS, LDKRs who had not PF for any reason, were admitted immediately before and after those with LDKRs under DS were used as controls (n: 31). Immucor™ luminex method was used for detecting the anti HLA DSA. DS was performed to the Rs who had more than 5000 MFI DSA against to at least one donor HLA locus with double check. Non-parametric Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis because of distribution of our patients was heterogeneous. R...
