New Discoveries and Future Trends for Renal Transplantation: From Diagnosis to Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Kidney transplantation is the ultimate treatment for end-stage kidney disease, given its better survival benefits and quality of life compared to dialysis. However, the process of kidney transplantation still faces numerous challenges, starting from organ allocation, recipient evaluation, immunosuppression, and post-transplant monitoring. Retrospectively, it has been an exciting moment for kidney transplants in the past decade. The outcomes of kidney transplantation have been improving as a result of numerous advances in research and discoveries, such as virtual crossmatching, the development of non-invasive biomarkers, clinical trials for rejection treatment, the prevention of recurrent glomerular disease, novel therapy for cytomegalovirus infection, and targeted cellular therapy for BK nephropathy.

We cordially invite authors and investigators to submit their original research or review articles to this Special Issue, “New Discoveries and Future Trend for Renal Transplantation: From Diagnosis to Treatment”. This serves as an exceptional opportunity for all investigators to share their knowledge on the field of kidney transplantation with the medical community.
