Solid organ transplantation has become the first line of treatment for a growing number of life-threatening pediatric illnesses. With improved survival, research into the long-term outcome of transplant recipients has become important to clinicians. Adherence to medical instructions remains a challenge, particularly in the adolescent population. New immunosuppressant approaches promise to expand organ transplantation in additional directions. Extension of transplantation into replacement of organs such as faces and hands raises complex ethical issues.

The association between serum tacrolimus concentrations and BK viruria in kidney transplant recipients.
Sci Rep

Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, 50200, Thailand.
The objective of this study was to examine the association between serum tacrolimus trough levels and the detection of BK viruria in kidney transplant recipients. We conducted a retrospective study and included kidney transplant recipients who underwent BK viruria screening during 2018-2021. Serum tacrolimus trough levels, urine BK viral load, and potential risk factors were collected.

Background: Weight management was recommended to have more access to transplantation and improve transplant outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). However, the dose-response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and transplant outcomes has not been clearly defined.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to October 20th, 2019.

Background: Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) from small pediatric donors, either en-bloc or split dual kidney transplantation, contributes to mitigating organ scarcity. This study investigates the prognosis of DKT from pediatric deceased donors, and influencing factors.
Method: A retrospective study included recipients who underwent DKT from pediatric donors between 2012 and 2022.

Long-term, immunosuppression-free allograft survival has been induced in human and nonhuman primate (NHP) kidney recipients after nonmyeloablative conditioning and donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT), resulting in transient mixed hematopoietic chimerism. However, the same strategy has consistently failed in NHP heart transplant recipients. Here, we investigated whether long-term heart allograft survival could be achieved by cotransplanting kidneys from the same donor.
