Overview

Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is placed into a person whose own kidneys have failed, restoring the body's ability to filter waste, balance fluids and electrolytes, and regulate blood pressure. It is a leading treatment for end-stage kidney disease and can offer better quality of life and survival than long-term dialysis. Successful transplantation depends on donor-recipient compatibility, surgical technique, and lifelong immunosuppression to prevent rejection, and it requires careful monitoring for complications such as rejection, infection, and delayed graft function. The field also raises important ethical questions around organ donation and allocation. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to kidney transplantation published in Organ Transplantation and related OpenAccessPub journals. On-topic work includes a comparison of Doppler ultrasonography with biopsy in evaluating post-transplant complications and kidney function, an analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism profiles in patients with acute renal rejection aimed at personalising immunosuppressive therapy, and a study of how intra-operative hemodynamics influence delayed graft function in living kidney transplantation. Together these articles reflect central concerns in transplantation, including the diagnosis of rejection and complications, the individualisation of immunosuppression, and the factors that affect graft outcomes after surgery.
