Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney transplantation remains the gold standard for treating end-stage renal disease, offering superior survival and quality of life compared to dialysis. Despite significant progress in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapies, challenges such as chronic graft dysfunction, limited donor availability, immunological barriers, and long-term complications continue to impact outcomes.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and comprehensive reviews that address these challenges and explore innovative solutions. We encourage submissions on topics including donor organ quality and preservation, immunological risk and desensitization strategies, rejection monitoring, personalized immunosuppression, novel biomarkers, infection and malignancy management, surgical advances, and donor pool expansion through ABO-incompatible transplants and paired exchange programs. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue aims to enhance understanding and drive advancements in kidney transplantation to improve patient care and long-term graft survival.
