With regard to transplantation is carried out conventional therapy in most cases (81%) also on adult patients with good results, is procendendo more and more with the transplantation of stem cells (16%) and finally gene therapy, where he is studying the possibility of genes able to produce hemoglobin in an appropriate manner.

Good nutrition plays a key role in successfully recovering from kidney transplantation. As after any surgery, adequate calories and protein are needed for proper wound healing. Also, possible side effects of the anti-rejection medications can increase nutrient requirements. Because of these special concerns, you may have to change your diet for a time period after your transplant. However, dietary therapy is always adjusted by the transplant team to meet your specific needs and tolerances. Many transplant patients develop nutrition-related problems in the months and years following transplant. The most common are excessive weight gain (as fat) and high blood cholesterol that are usually caused by steroids and other medications. The best management for you includes weight control by following a "heart healthy" diet and exercising.

Allogeneic' BMT means transplantation of blood or bone marrow cells from "another individual''. The bone marrow and the immune system of the patient is suppressed or destroyed by the use of high dose chemo-radiotherapy and replaced by the blood stem cells from another person.

When kidney fails we look for a new kidney. In the meantime, the patient can be kept well and alive with dialysis. The donor is often a family member with same blood group. However, when bone marrow fails, the world crumbles in front of us. This condition is called APLASTIC ANEMIA. Bone marrow produces millions of cells every minute to keep us alive.

Nephron Sparing Surgery in Renal Tumors : A Case Report A 69 yrs old male presented to our OPD with h/o left sided varicocele. A known case of Diabetes, hypertension and bilateral medical renal disease, he underwent MRI abdomen which revealed a large lower pole lesion in left kidney with no renal vein or IVC thrombus. DTPA Scan revealed a 61% function in the affected kidney. Due to his bilateral medical renal disease and poorly functioning contra lateral kidney, he was planned for Nephron Sparing Surgery / partial nephrectomy (L) and DJ Stenting under cold ischaemia. Post op patient initially showed a rise in creatinine levels which gradually settled down to pre operative levels. Before we go into the discussion of partial nephrectomy or nephron sparing surgery (NSS) in RCC, I would like to emphasize on the presenting complaint. Varicocele in the left side is one of the presentation of Left sided kidney mass, which occurs due to the drainage of the gonadal vein into the renal vein on the left side and generally indicates tumor thrombus in the venous system renal/ IVC, however in this case it was because of compression of left gonadal vein by the renal mass. Renal tumors comprise approximately 3.8% of all new cancers with median age at diagnosis of 64 yrs. It is the third most common urological malignancy. The rate of RCC has increased by 1.6% per year for last 10 yrs, the reason of which is unknown. Majority of them are renal cell carcinomas and 80% of them are clear cell variety. Smoking and obesity are high risk factors of RCC. Some genetic diseases are also associated with RCC, like Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease. At presentation 25% are locally advanced. More often patient presents with metastatic disease (20%) . Only a few patients present with Virchows Triad - the 'too late triad' ( of hematuria, abdominal pain and flank mass). A CT Scan or MRI of the whole abdomen including pelvis clinches the diagnosis. A NEEDLE BIOPSY IS NOT NE

Embryo transfer is a simple, non-surgical process. Unlike egg recovery, embryo transfer does not require sedation and the patient can be discharged from the hospital between 2 to 5 hours after embryo transfer. Both frozen and fresh embryos can be used in this assisted reproduction procedure. The transfer is performed using image guidance from an ultrasound. The doctor uses a thin catheter to move the embryos into the uterus through the vagina. Once the transfer is complete, the patient is shifted directly in the recovery room for 30 to 60 minutes. The above-mentioned steps are the embryo transfer steps.
