Advances in transplantation immunology management have contributed to more frequent transplants and better long-term graft survival. Nurses must consider many issues facing the transplant recipient such as medication management, infection prevention, chronic disease management, fluid balance, urine output, and the many psychological issues that surround receiving a transplant. Important guidelines of care of complex transplant patients in the postoperative period are provided.

Nocardiosis in Renal Allograft Recipients.
J Glob Infect Dis
December 2024
Department of Nephrology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to study the clinical profile and outcomes of nocardiosis in renal allograft recipients.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of clinical outcomes in consecutive renal allograft recipients with infection over a 22-year period (2000-2022) from a tertiary care center in Southern India. The clinical data were obtained from electronic medical records and patient files.
Evaluation of donor specific antibodies after kidney transplantation in the era of donor-derived cell-free DNA.
Front Immunol
January 2025
Department of Immunology, University Hospital Zurich (USZ), Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a promising non-invasive biomarker for detecting graft injury in solid organ transplant recipients. Elevated dd-cfDNA levels are strongly associated with rejection and graft injury, especially antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). While donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) are crucial in ABMR, the relationship between dd-cfDNA levels and dnDSA features, such as DSA category, MFI and HLA target loci, remains unclear.

BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and Pain Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Background: To investigate the incidence and potential predictors of immune tolerance among adult living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients.
Methods: This case-control study included adult recipients who underwent LDLT between May 2004 and January 2018, with at least a 5-year follow-up after LDLT. We divided the study recipients into two groups: Group 1 (Tolerance Group) included recipients who achieved operational or prope tolerance for at least one year; Group 2 (Control Group) included recipients who did not achieve tolerance.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) poses a serious challenge in kidney transplant recipients. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seronegative recipients have a significantly increased risk of PTLD, but few studies have investigated risk factors for PTLD in EBV-seronegative recipients in the current era of immunosuppression. This cohort study from Norway and western Denmark included first-time kidney transplant recipients between 2007-2021, and estimated the cumulative incidence, risk and prognosis of PTLD.
