In cases of chronic renal insufficiency, successful kidney transplantation is the method of choice to restore patients' health, well-being and physical fitness. The interdisciplinary collaboration of nephrologists and transplant surgeons has always been a prerequisite for the successful pre-, peri- and post-transplant care of renal transplant patients. The same holds true for liver transplant patients. Here the nephrologist is often involved in cases requiring pre- or post-transplant dialysis as well as in decision making for combined liver-kidney transplantation. This review focuses on nephrological aspects in patient care before and after kidney and liver transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complex condition characterized by the interaction between heart and kidney failures, where issues in one organ can exacerbate the other.
- Molecular imaging techniques like SPECT and PET can help us understand the underlying processes, such as inflammation and fibrosis, affecting both organs.
- The findings from these imaging methods may improve patient care by providing prognostic information and guiding targeted treatments for cardiorenal issues.

Onset, progression and cardiovascular outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are influenced by the concomitant sterile inflammation. The pro-inflammatory cytokine family interleukin (IL)-1 is crucial in CKD with the key alarmin IL-1α playing an additional role as an adhesion molecule that facilitates immune cell tissue infiltration and consequently inflammation. Here, we investigate calcium ion and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent regulation of different aspects of IL-1α-mediated inflammation.

Women with chronic kidney disease are less likely to become pregnant and are more susceptible to pregnancy complications when compared to patients with normal kidney function. As a result, these are considered high-risk pregnancies, both maternal and fetal. Over the years, there has been an increase in the incidence of pregnancies in dialysis patients, and an improvement in maternal and fetal outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * NETs consist of a DNA framework mixed with antimicrobial proteins, providing a critical defense mechanism against infections.
- * However, excessive or uncontrolled NET formation can lead to various health issues, including sepsis, autoimmune diseases, and cancer, prompting research into potential therapies targeting NETs.
