    Abstract The motivation for dialysis patients to seek early, even pre-emptive, kidney transplantation from living donors is discussed. In most countries both the waiting time and the numbers of patients awaiting kidney transplantation are increasing. Local geopolitics in Jerusalem have produced a unique window to observe present transplant practices which include widespread international marketing of kidneys from paid living donors. These have been subject of media admonitions and total rejection by professional organizations. In a modern world, traditional medical paternalism to both donors and patients should be balanced by rights for individual autonomy. Since patients, donors and medical professionals are already participating in illicit organ trading, is it not time for us to seriously consider the ethical and logistic implications of legalizing financial remuneration for kidney donation?

    Abstract Background: Assessment of proliferation rate (PR%) using monoclonal antibody for Ki-67 antigen has recently been found to have prognostic importance in lung and cardiac allografts. We ascertained whether the same might be true for renal allografts.
    Methods: Newly cut sections from 20 archival paraffin blocks of renal allograft biopsy material showing acute cellular rejection and/or acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and absence of other pathology were stained using MIB-1 antibody and were further double-stained with anti-CD3, anti-CD20 or anti-CD68 antibodies. Counts of staining of mononuclear interstitial cells were correlated with clinical and pathological data.
    Results: Mean PR% was significantly greater than that in control renal allografts (13.23 +/- 1.94 vs. 2.84 +/- 1.66, p < 0.01). PR% of cases with ATN and no or borderline rejection was significantly lower than that of the remaining cases with acute rejection pathology (6.68 +/- 1.15 vs. 14.31 +/- 1.62, p < 0.05). However, PR% was neither correlated to histological rejection grade nor to long-term graft outcome. Double labelling failed to identify the cell type of most infiltrating MIB-1 positive cells.
    Conclusions: Positive MIB-1 staining helps to identify the presence of rejection but does not appear to predict prognosis or correlate with the Banff classification of rejection pathology.

    Abstract Background: The acute effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on phosphate transport has been reported to be mediated by rapid downregulation of sodium-phosphate transporter (NaPi-IIa) protein, but the association was observed with pharmacological doses of PTH.
    Objective: To explore the effects of physiological doses of PTH on NaPi-IIa protein and its relationship to phosphate transport.
    Methods: Acute clearance studies were performed in parathyroidectomized rats given a bolus i.v. physiological dose (1 microg) of bovine PTH(1-34) and NaPi-IIa protein concentrations were examined at different time intervals.
    Results: Fractional excretion of phosphate increased from 0.031+/-0.006 (mean+/-S.E.) to 0.238+/-0.059 (P<0.01 compared with baseline and compared with controls) at 40 min and returned to control values by 120 min. Urinary cAMP concentrations were increased at 20 min only. Superficial cortex brush-border membrane (BBM) NaPi-IIa protein was decreased from baseline at both 40 and 120 min (P<0.01) and did not recover at 240 min (P<0.01 compared with baseline and compared with controls).
    Conclusion: These results confirm that PTH, even in physiological dosage, causes a rapid decrease in BBM NaPi-IIa, but subsequent recovery of phosphate reabsorption is poorly correlated with BBM concentrations of NaPi-IIa protein. This suggests that transport mechanisms other than NaPi-IIa are important in renal phosphate reabsorption.

    Abstract A 33-year-old male presented with end-stage renal failure. Renal biopsy showed severe interstitial fibrosis without glomerulopathy or vasculopathy. More than 10 years previously the patient had been successfully treated for recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma. The treatment included ifosfamide, a drug known to cause acute tubular dysfunction. Though a possible synergistic effect of previous radiation which was well within accepted tolerance limits cannot be excluded, it would appear that ifosfamide was almost certainly the major cause of the late onset chronic renal disease.
