In July 1988, the liver and pancreas of a cadaveric donor were transplanted separately into a man with type 1 diabetes with end-stage chronic hepatitis B virus. Two features of the operation may help explain the patient's current status as the longest-lived liver-pancreas recipient. One was enteric drainage of pancreatic exocrine secretions. The other was delivery of the pancreas venous effluent to the host portal system and then directly to the hepatic allograft.

Multi-organ transplantation involves the transplant of two or more organs from a single donor into a single recipient; in most cases, one of these organs is a kidney. Multi-organ transplantation is uncommon in pediatric transplantation but can be life-saving or significantly life-improving for children with rare diseases, including primary heart, liver, pancreas, or intestinal failure with secondary kidney failure, metabolic disorders, and genetic conditions causing multi-organ dysfunction. This manuscript reviews the current state of pediatric multi-organ transplantation that includes a kidney, with a focus on indications, evaluation, and key differences in management compared to kidney-alone transplantation.

Introduction: After solid-organ transplantation (SOTx), recipients must adhere to a lifelong medical regimen, change their lifestyle and cope with physiological and psychosocial challenges. This requires active participation in their care and self-management abilities. The concept of self-management after SOTx has only been described regarding specific organs and focused on adherence to medical treatment.

Background: Non-adherence to immunosuppressant therapy is a significant concern following a solid organ transplant, given its association with graft failure. Adherence to immunosuppressant therapy is a modifiable patient behaviour, and different approaches to increasing adherence have emerged, including multi-component interventions. There has been limited exploration of the effectiveness of interventions to increase adherence to immunosuppressant therapy.

Cytomegalovirus infection after transplant has been dramatically reduced in the modern era with improved understanding of immunosuppression and perioperative transplant care. However, cytomegalovirus syndrome with or without tissue invasive disease can still lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Several organs can be involved: most commonly, the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, lung, and the transplanted renal allograft.
