About this Research Topic
Acute rejection must be avoided for a kidney transplant to be successful, and novel immunosuppressive therapies significantly enhance transplant survival by lowering the frequency of acute rejection. Analyzing kidney transplant data can help determine how effective transplantation efforts are as well as how much the future health care system will cost.
The aim and objective of this Research Topic is to discuss the physiological and molecular aspects that affect post-operative graft rejection and general quality of life. In order to improve patient survival, this article collection intends to bring together physician experts in renal transplant treatment and basic researchers working in the field of nephrology/renal replacement therapy on either human or pre-clinical models.
In addition to original research articles, opinions, and methods pertinent to this article collection, researchers are encouraged to submit theoretical papers, pharmacological intervention studies, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives, and short communications. These articles should cover topics like (but are not limited to):
• Factors need to consider before renal transplant (ae: patients comorbidities, HLA matching)
• Management of blood pressure after renal transplant
• Post-transplant care
• Psychological and psychophysiological aspects of kidney transplant
• Pregnancy outcome after transplant
• Graft from deceased vs living donor
• Multi organ transplant along with renal transplant.
• Post-transplant recovery
• Pharmacological effects of post-transplant kidney patient.
• Non immunological complications following transplant.
