摘要:

Advances in transplant immunobiology are leading to new therapeutic modalities in clinical immunosuppression. Rational use of these new treatments will require an understanding of the emerging paradigms of alloimmune recognition and response. In this review we give an overview of the organization of the immune response to an allograft with a detailed focus on several topics that have seen significant advances over the past year.

摘要:

The waiting list for kidney transplant recipients continues to grow while the number of available organs plateaus, and a serious shortage of organs exists. These circumstances have forced a widening of indications for kidney transplantation. Unconventional kidney transplantation such as ABO. incompatible living kidney transplantation, living unrelated kidney transplantation, or kidney transplantation from elderly donors have been performed successfully.

摘要:

Living unrelated kidney transplants afford superior 3-year graft survival rates compared with cadaveric transplants. Spiral computed tomography has the potential to replace conventional arteriography in the anatomic assessment of living kidney donors. Endourologic techniques are important adjuncts in the management of urologic complications following kidney transplantation. Laparoscopic lymphocelectomy is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice in the definitive management of symptomatic lymphoceles. The results of pancreatic transplantation are improving, with overall 1 -year actuarial patient and pancreas allograft survival of 91 and 74%, respectively. Ultrasound-guided, cystoscopically directed pancreas allograft biopsy is an important technique in diagnosing rejection.

摘要:

Chronic renal failure is frequently accompanied by endocrine abnormalities which may result in infertility and impotence. Many of these hormonal abnormalities persist during dialysis therapy but may improve in the presence of a functioning renal allograft. A better understanding of the hormonal changes accompanying end-stage renal disease and the effects of immunosuppressive agents on them has improved the ability to restore sexual and reproductive function to renal transplant recipients.
