Do multiple renal arteries in the remnant kidney have a negative influence on kidney donors after kidney donation?
The presence of multiple renal arteries in the remnant kidney does not have additional negative influence on kidney donors after kidney donation.
Postinjury PMNs have a suppressed release of both IL-8 and TNF following injury that did not occur in elective surgical patients. Furthermore, the NFkappaB/IkappaB-independent IL-1ra did not show suppression of release. In addition, stabilization of IkappaB following severe injury leads to decreased PMN IL-8 and TNF production. This genetic reprogramming may help explain PMN dysfunction and subsequent infections seen in severely injured patients.
