    Abstract : One main hurdle to xenotransplantation, i.e. transplantation between different species, is the immunological barrier that the organ meets in the recipient. The aim of this thesis was to characterise xenogeneic rejection mechanisms by using the concordant mouse-to-rat heart transplantation model. READ MORE

  4. 2. Minimizing Risks and Morbidity in Live Kidney Donors

    Author : Ali-Reza Biglarnia; Jonas Wadström; Gunnar Tufveson; Tomas Lorant; Ingela Fehrman-Ekholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; live donors; morbidity; GFR; donor nephrectomy; postoperative pain treatment; venous thromboembolism; HARS; Transplantation surgery; Transplantationskirurgi; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Live kidney donors are healthy volunteers who are exposed to major surgical procedure and physical harms with no direct therapeutic benefits. Efforts to minimize their risks and morbidity are therefore of utmost importance. READ MORE

  5. 3. The clinical perspective on malignancies in renal transplanted patients

    Author : Vivan Hellström; Tomas Lorant; Gunnar Tufveson; Gunilla Enblad; Per Lindnér; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : renal transplantation; malignant tumours;

    Abstract : Post-transplant malignancies cause significant morbidity and mortality. In this thesis we investigated malignancies in renal transplanted patients from a clinical viewpoint. The use of regional tumour registries considerably improved identification of pre- and post-transplant malignancies, which are generally underreported in transplant registries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Health Related Quality of Life in patients with screening detected Sub-Aneurysmal aorta and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

    Author : Linda Lyttkens; Eva Jangland; Anders Wanhainen; Sverker Svensjö; Monica Pettersson; Christine Kumlien; Tomas Lorant; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Abdominal aortic aneurysm; screening; health related quality of life; quality of life; meta-analysis; patients experience; systematic review; RAND-36; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Objective Paper I: Most screening and opportunistically detected abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are small and kept under surveillance for several years before preventive surgery. Living with the diagnosis of an AAA may have an influence on the patient’s life. READ MORE

  7. 5. Management of Ischemia and Brain Death-Associated Injuries in Porcine Kidney Grafts

    Author : Amir Sedigh; Tomas Lorant; Gunnar Tufveson; Olle Korsgren; Styrbjörn Friman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Organs from deceased donors after brain death (BD) remain the major source of organs for transplantation. The catastrophic event of BD and the inevitable consequences of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) are linked to impaired graft quality and transplantation outcome. READ MORE
