Kidney transplantation in primary oxalosis.

A 33 year old patient with primary oxalosis was submitted to cadaver kidney transplantation after 15 months treatment by hemodialysis. During the dialysis period, he developed complete heart block which immediately followed bilateral nephrectomy. The transplant functioned correctly and was found to excrete large amounts of oxalate. Death, which supervened 7 months after transplantation, was due to miliary tuberculosis. The patient's own kidneys and various organs examined post mortem showed extensive oxalate deposits, which were mainly observed in the graft, conducting system of the heart, ocular structures, spleen and pancreas. The problems of managing terminal uremia secondary to primary oxalosis are discussed.

Organ distribution of sheep red blood cells in ALS-treated rats.

The inter-organ distribution of radioactivity in rats injected with 51Cr-labelled SRBC is altered after treatment with ALS absorbed with this antigen. The alteration is due to the presence of soluble SRBC antigens in the serum and subsequent immunization of the tested animals. The 51Cr distribution does not correspond to the uptake of antigenic material in immunized rats.

Pulmonary infections after kidney transplantation.

Seventy-five pulmonary infections out of 173 kidney transplantations have been observed in 62 graft-recipients, from 1965 to 1973. The aetiologic organism is a bacteria in 80% of the cases, a fungus in 8% of the cases, cytomegalovirus and Pneumocystis Carinii in 11% of the cases. A close relationship between infection and a previous transplant crisis was noted in 66% of the cases. The most efficient diagnostic procedures were pleural and open lung biopsy as well as cultures of blood, pleural fluid and tracheobronchial secretions. Treatment was effective in 60% of bacterial and Pneumocystitis Carinii infections; on the other hand, it was less useful in fungal infections and totally ineffective in cytomegalovirus infections. Despite a possible increase in the risk of rejection, reduction or even arrest of immunosuppressive therapy is recommended in severe infections.
