Kidney Transplantation and Organ Preservation

Kidney Transplantation and Organ Preservation play a crucial role in treating end-stage renal disease. Transplantation offers improved quality of life and long-term survival compared to dialysis. Success depends on timely donor organ availability, matching, and surgical expertise. Organ preservation techniques, such as hypothermic machine perfusion and cold storage, are vital in maintaining organ viability between retrieval and transplantation. Advances in immunosuppressive therapies and graft monitoring have significantly increased transplant success rates and reduced the risk of organ rejection.
