Nutrition in Kidney Transplantation
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2013Organ transplantation has progressively established itself as the preferred therapy for many end-stage organ failures. However, many of these chronic diseases and their treatments can negatively affect nutritional status, leading to malnutrition and mineral deficiencies.

A profound kidney shortage compromises the effective care of renal failure patients in the United States and other nations. This article discusses the need for kidneys, the procurement of live donor and cadaver organs, and strategies to increase organ donation. It suggests that the kidney shortage can be minimized and perhaps eliminated through the use

Immunosuppression and Kidney Transplantation
2021Immunosuppression is complex, fraught with on-target and off-target adverse effects, and hard to get right but is the key to successful allotransplantation. Herein, we review the key immunosuppressive agent classes used for kidney transplant, highlighting mechanisms of action and typical clinical use.

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1989
The future of kidney transplantation lies in advancement in two areas: well-matched donors to recipients and immunosuppression. Improvement in the effectiveness of transplantation is dependent upon these two areas. The cadaver donor pool needs to be increased not only to allow every person waiting for transplant of a kidney, but to ensure a well ...

Transplantation: Kidney, Kidney–Pancreas Transplant
2014With in-depth understanding of transplant immunology, more sensitive assays have been developed for immunological risk assessment, crossmatch, and detection of donor-specific antibodies. The discovery of potent immunosuppressive drugs has successfully reduced the risk of acute rejection and graft loss from rejection.

Pancreas and kidney transplantation
Current Diabetes Reports, 2002Kidney transplantation is preferred over dialysis for management of end-stage renal disease complicating type I or type 2 diabetes, for those who are eligible. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) or pancreas after kidney transplantation (PAK) is an important alternative to kidney transplantation alone for type I diabetes patients if the patient is able ...

Hypertension and kidney transplantation
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1986Hypertension in kidney transplant patients is a common complication that affects long-term patient and allograft survival. Although multifactorial in nature, at least two causes can be corrected by surgical or radiologic intervention--stenosis and native kidney-associated hypertension.

THE KIDNEY IN LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2000Early recognition and determination of the cause of renal failure in patients with ESLD can be difficult because of the potential interplay among various factors and the wide array of differential diagnoses. A systematic approach, however, assists clinicians to identify common and potentially reversible causes of ARF.

Belatacept in kidney transplantation
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2014Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) play a major role in long-term renal allograft dysfunction because of their nephrotoxic side-effects. Belatacept, a selective costimulation blockade agent, is the first biological agent approved for maintenance immunosuppression in renal transplantation.Studies have shown better preservation of glomerular filtration rate ...
