The search for a suitable deceased donor often leads to prolonged and uncertain wait times, making living donor transplants a viable alternative. However, approximately 40% of living donors are incompatible with their intended recipients. Therefore, many countries have established kidney exchange ...
Sex and gender are viewed as important concepts in transplantation research, as in other specialties, and should be viewed as two distinct entities, with each having a different influence on the health of the kidney transplant recipient. In their work, Laprise et al,10 found that many articles...
Transplantation immunology research continues to endeavor to discover novel agents and alternatives to whole-organ transplantation. However, due to the complexity and redundancy of the immune system, in vitro findings frequently do not correlate with in vivo observations. Hence, transplant research has ...
However, there are only a small number of studies analysing these methods in the setting of renal transplantation and more research needs to be done. Conclusion Fig. 2 Allium-stent in graft ureter (CT-scan) even higher rate of dislocation due to the short ureter of the kidney transplant. ...
Patients with end-stage renal disease often undergo dialysis as a partial substitute for kidney function while waiting for their only treatment option: a kidney transplant.

compared to long-term dialysis therapy. Patients with CKD are typically eligible for renal transplant evaluation when the eGFR falls below 20 mL/min/1.73 m². If a patient has a living donor who may be able to donate a kidney, referral to a transplant center can be considered even ...

Policies to promote referral for kidney transplant should be coupled with efforts to strengthen shared decision-making to ensure that the decision to undergo transplant evaluation is framed as an explicit choice with benefits, risks, and alternatives and patients have an opportunity to shape their ...
the only one that has systematically gathered data on pregnancy in women who have undergone a transplant or been on dialysis, and from scattered sources, like the previously cited Italian nationwide survey, and voluntary registries.
