Paediatric renal transplantation: Paediatric surgeons' perspective

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for paediatric end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), offering advantages in survival, growth and neurocognitive development that surpass other renal replacement therapies (RRT). The paediatric setting, however, introduces distinct complexities that distinguish it from adult practice.

A highly potent human antibody neutralizing all serotypes of BK polyomavirus.

PLoS Pathogens
BK polyomavirus infection poses a significant risk to kidney transplant recipients. Reactivation of dormant virus in the transplanted kidney, triggered by immunosuppression, can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in up to 10% of transplants ...
