Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Short-term patient and graft survival rates after kidney transplantation have improved significantly and are now relatively satisfactory. These results can be attributed to several factors, the most important of which is probably the improvement in techniques in transplant surgery, including donor nephrectomy. However, in addition to the poor general condition of patients, for example, due to long-term hemodialysis, renal transplant surgery involves several steps, such as vascular anastomosis and vesicoureteral neostomy, which can sometimes lead to surgical complications.
On the other hand, long-term patient and graft survival rates have not yet sufficiently improved. Further improvements cannot be expected without adequate countermeasures against immunological factors such as acute and chronic antibody-induced rejection, as well as non-immunological diseases, infections, cardiovascular diseases, and de novo cancers, which are the main causes of death after transplantation.
Our aim in launching this Special Issue is to contribute to better renal transplantation care by focusing on complications from renal transplant surgery, including donor nephrectomy, and long-term postoperative management.
