Study Notes
Indications for Renal Transplantation
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD) with dialysis dependence
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 with significant symptoms
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) with high risk of progression to ESRD
Contraindications for Renal Transplantation
- Active malignancy
- Active infection (e.g., HIV, TB)
- Severe cardiovascular disease
- Uncontrolled psychiatric illness
- Non-adherence to medical treatment
Types of Renal Transplantation
- Deceased donor transplantation: kidney from a deceased donor
- Living donor transplantation: kidney from a living donor (e.g., family member, friend)
- Paired donor transplantation: swap of kidneys between two pairs of donors and recipients
- ABO-incompatible transplantation: transplant between individuals with incompatible blood types
Pre-Transplant Evaluation
- Medical evaluation: assess overall health, comorbidities, and potential surgical risks
- Psychological evaluation: assess mental health, coping mechanisms, and potential for non-adherence
- Immunological evaluation: assess immune system function, including HLA typing and cross-matching
- Surgical evaluation: assess anatomical suitability for transplantation
Surgical Procedure
- Open nephrectomy: traditional surgical approach
- Laparoscopic nephrectomy: minimally invasive surgical approach
- Kidney implantation: implantation of the donor kidney in the iliac fossa
Post-Transplant Care
- Immunosuppression: medications to prevent rejection (e.g., calcineurin inhibitors, anti-proliferative agents)
- Monitoring for rejection: regular surveillance for signs of rejection (e.g., biopsy, laboratory tests)
- Infection prevention: prophylaxis against opportunistic infections (e.g., pneumocystis pneumonia)
- Long-term follow-up: regular check-ups to monitor graft function and overall health
Complications and Rejection
- Acute rejection: early rejection of the transplanted kidney
- Chronic rejection: late rejection of the transplanted kidney
- Infection: opportunistic infections (e.g., bacterial, viral, fungal)
- Malignancy: increased risk of cancer due to immunosuppression
- Graft dysfunction: impairment of kidney function due to various causes (e.g., rejection, ischemia)
Indications for Renal Transplantation
- End-stage renal disease with dialysis dependence is a primary indication for renal transplantation
- Chronic kidney disease stage 5 with significant symptoms also necessitates renal transplantation
- Acute kidney injury with high risk of progression to ESRD is another indication
Contraindications for Renal Transplantation
- Active malignancy is a contraindication due to the risk of cancer progression
- Active infections, such as HIV and TB, contraindicate renal transplantation
- Severe cardiovascular disease increases the risk of surgical complications
- Uncontrolled psychiatric illness can lead to non-adherence to medical treatment
- Non-adherence to medical treatment is a contraindication due to the risk of graft failure
Types of Renal Transplantation
- Deceased donor transplantation involves a kidney from a deceased donor
- Living donor transplantation involves a kidney from a living donor, such as a family member or friend
- Paired donor transplantation involves a swap of kidneys between two pairs of donors and recipients
- ABO-incompatible transplantation allows for transplants between individuals with incompatible blood types
Pre-Transplant Evaluation
- Medical evaluation assesses overall health, comorbidities, and potential surgical risks
- Psychological evaluation assesses mental health, coping mechanisms, and potential for non-adherence
- Immunological evaluation assesses immune system function, including HLA typing and cross-matching
- Surgical evaluation assesses anatomical suitability for transplantation
Surgical Procedure
- Open nephrectomy is the traditional surgical approach for kidney removal
- Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical approach for kidney removal
- Kidney implantation involves implantation of the donor kidney in the iliac fossa
Post-Transplant Care
- Immunosuppression medications prevent rejection, including calcineurin inhibitors and anti-proliferative agents
- Regular surveillance for signs of rejection, including biopsy and laboratory tests, is crucial
- Infection prevention involves prophylaxis against opportunistic infections, such as pneumocystis pneumonia
- Long-term follow-up involves regular check-ups to monitor graft function and overall health
Complications and Rejection
- Acute rejection occurs early after transplantation, whereas chronic rejection occurs later
- Infection is a significant complication, including opportunistic infections, such as bacterial, viral, and fungal infections
- Malignancy is a potential complication due to immunosuppression
- Graft dysfunction can result from various causes, including rejection, ischemia, and other factors
