Abstract: The patients’ attitudes towards kidney transplantation are significantly affected by the acceptance of the treatment to have a better quality of life. Exploration of the cognitive-emotional relation in patients with chronic renal failure. Our study included 285 kidney patients. We investigated three groups of patients: predialysis, dialysis and transplantation patients. In the framework of a pre-examination we have created an attitudinal questionnaire (85 items) that can be used to describe the cognitive and emotional attitude of kidney patients towards their illness and to measure scales. Negative attitudes towards transplantation were reported in dialysis and predialysis patients. In contrast, patients who had already undergone surgery were particularly positive about kidney transplantation. Many patients refuse transplantation which correlates with attitudes towards illness and healing. Our results showed that the exploration of the patients’ cognitive emotional relation along with the medical diagnosis would have a better adherence towards the kidney substitutional treatment which ensures a better quality of life.

We present the case of aorto-iliac aneurysm in a patient with chronic renal failure requiring dialysis who were treated with an endovascular stent graft and, later on, submitted to kidney transplantation. A 53-year-old male with renal failure requiring dialysis presented with an asymptomatic abdominal aorto-iliac aneurysm measuring 5.0cm of diameter. He was treated with endovascular repair technique, being used an endoprosthesis Excluder®. After four months, he was successfully submitted to kidney transplantation (dead donor), with anastomosis of the graft renal artery in the external iliac artery distal to the endoprosthesis. The magnetic resonance imaging, carried out 30 days after the procedure, showed a good positioning of the endoprosthesis and adequate perfusion of the renal graft. In the follow-up, the patient presented improvement of nitrogenous waste, good positioning of the endoprosthesis without migration or endoleak. The endovascular repair of aorto-iliac aneurysm in a patient with end-stage renal failure under hemodialysis treatment showed to be feasible, safe and efficient, as it did not prevent the success of the posterior kidney transplantation.

Introduction. All over the world and in Russia, the number of patients requiring dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation for chronic renal failure in the end-stage of the renal disease is increasing. In many countries of the world, the number of dialysis patients over 60 years of age accounts for 30 to 45% of all patients with chronic renal failure. Meantime, taking into account the improved methods for early diagnosis of chronic renal failure and the treatment methods for chronic kidney disease, including the renal replacement therapy, we can expect an increase in the number of elderly potential kidney transplant recipients. The likelihood of receiving a renal graft in elderly patients is significantly lower than in young recipients. Elderly patients are known to have a higher risk of death while waiting for a kidney transplant due to higher morbidity and lethality on dialysis. For this reason, the urgency of increasing the availability of kidney transplantation in elderly patients is growing over time. One of the solutions can be the use of kidneys from suboptimal donors with a far from ideal graft quality, but which could meet the needs for transplant care of the older age group of patients. The older age of a recipient entails a certain risk of developing a graft dysfunction due to the presence of concomitant diseases, and the potential risk increases even more with kidney transplants from expanded criteria donors. If a reduced functional reserve of kidneys removed from donors with extended criteria is identified, two-kidney transplantation is possible, which provides fairly good long-term results. To reduce the risk of a kidney graft loss, a careful selection of recipients is necessary, taking into account their co-morbidities, including the presence of urological diseases that impair the function of the upper and lower urinary tract. Their timely identification and correction makes it possible to raise the availability of kidney transplantation for elderly patients and improve its results. This review presents the results of the studies conducted in various world transplant centers, covers the mortality rates, kidney graft and recipient survival rates.The study purpose was to summarize the actual data and the results of the study on kidney transplantation in elderly patients with urological pathology.

ABSTRACTObjective: to describe the patient’s knowledge with chronic renal failure submitted to kidney transplantation on the importance of consultation with nursing for his treatment. Methodology: this is about an exploratory-descriptive study from qualitative approach. The data collection was from January to December 2007. The sample consisted of 36 patients undergoing kidney transplant from a total of 400. For the choice of the patients was a random draw simple daily. For data collection was used a questionnaire consisting of 11 questions concerning the information about the kidney transplant. For organization of the results was used thematic analysis proposed by Minayo. Results: as for nursing consultation for a significant number of patients claiming to be of importance to them, since they make them safer, take your questions and will be better targeted.  Conclusion: confirming the effectiveness of professional practice of nurses in the monitoring of renal patients who is subject to renal transplantation. Descriptors: nursing; kidney transplantation; chronic renal failure.RESUMOObjetivo: descrever o conhecimento do paciente portador de insuficiência renal crônica submetido a transplante renal referente à importância da consulta de enfermagem para seu tratamento. Metodologia: tratou-se de um estudo descritivo-exploratório com abordagem qualitativa. O período de coleta foi de janeiro a dezembro de 2007. A amostra foi constituída por 36 pacientes submetidos a transplante renal de um total de 400. Para a escolha dos pacientes foi realizado um sorteio aleatório simples diário.

Para organização dos resultados foi utilizada a análise temática proposta por Minayo. Resultados: quanto à consulta de enfermagem um número significativo de pacientes afirmam ser de importância aos mesmos, uma vez que os tornam mais seguros, tiram suas dúvidas e  serão melhor orientados. Conclusão: estes dados vêm a confirmar a eficácia da atuação profissional do enfermeiro no acompanhamento dos pacientes renais que se submeterão ao transplante renal. Descritores: enfermagem; transplante renal; insuficiência renal crônica.RESUMENObjetivo: describir el conocimiento del paciente portador de insuficiência renal crónica sometido a transplante renal, referente a la importáncia de la consulta de enfermería para su tratamiento.

Background: Renal replacement therapy (RRT), which includes dialysis and kidney transplantation, is the treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). Most sub-Saharan African countries have not developed renal transplantation services and are relying on referring patients to overseas countries. This study was carried out to describe renal transplantation experience in Tanzania.Methods: Forty-four renal transplant recipients were recruited in this study. Standardized questionnaire and Swahili version of standard form – 36 (SF-36) were used to collect socio-demographic information, clinical data, laboratory test results and health related quality of life information.Results: Ages of transplant recipient ranged from 21 to 66 years with mean age of 45.9 ± 10.5 years. The leading causes of end stage renal failure among participants was hypertension 58.8% (25/44) followed by glomerulonephritis 15.9% (7/44). Twentyeight (63.6%) of transplantations were paid by the government. Most of the donors (97.7%) were living out of which 26 (59.1%) were siblings and 11 (25%) were second-degree relatives (cousins and nephews). Most common complication noted following transplantation was diabetes mellitus 9 (20.5%) and 3 (6.8%) had chronic rejection. Mental health was the domain with highest mean score (75.6 ± 14.3) and role physical had the least mean score (44 ± 45.6).Conclusions:  Hypertension was the leading cause of ESRF in this study. Most of the donors were siblings and the costs of transplantation were largely covered by the government. There is a need for concerted effort to establish local kidney transplantation services in Tanzania. Keywords: Renal transplantation, quality of life in transplantation, Tanzania.
