[Vascular complications of kidney transplant. Stenosis of the renal artery].

The present paper analyzes the incidence of vascular complications and their treatment, in a series of 500 consecutive Heterotopical Kidney Transplants (KT), performed in our Service between January 1978 and December 1988. There was a total of 14 (2.8%) complications of which 8 (1.6%) correspond to renal artery stenosis. Of the 8 cases with renal artery stenosis, in 2 of them primary surgical treatment was indicated. The first one was a transplantectomy (TRX) and the second one reconstructive direct surgery. In the 6 remaining patients a Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) was indicated. In three of these patients the stenosis resolved although one of them needed a second dilatation. In the last three there was: a thrombosis requiring TRX, a post dilatation anuria added to failure in the treatment of HT and which, finally, had to undergo surgery, and a third failure that could not be resolved by surgery and had to be subjected to graft nephrectomy. One of the patients in the surgical group died.

Alternative milk formulas in allergies to proteins in cow's milk.

A variety of "hypoallergenic" formulas have appeared on the market over the last few years for feeding lactating infants prone to a high atopic risk of allergy to cow's milk. These formulas consist of soya preparations, hydrolyzed proteins and so-called basic formulas. This paper describes the main characteristics of such formulas, with particular emphasis on their tolerance, indications, related immunological aspects and antigenic capabilities. Notifications of anaphylactoid reactions with hydrolyzed proteins and the possibility of interactions with the IgE antibodies in cow's milk indicate such formulas in cases of non-IgE-mediated intolerance. Although soya preparations may be allergenic, they do not present interactions with the proteins in cow's milk; thus, they are particularly indicated in children with protein allergy to cow's milk with specific IgE antibodies.
