Renal transplantation represents the foremost efficacious approach for ameliorating end-stage renal disease. Despite the current state of advanced renal transplantation techniques and the established postoperative immunosuppression strategy, a subset of patients continues to experience immune rejection during both the early and late postoperative phases, ultimately leading to graft loss. Consequently, the identification of immunobiomarkers capable of predicting the onset of immune rejection becomes imperative in order to facilitate early intervention strategies and enhance long-term prognoses. Upon reviewing the pertinent literature, we identified several indicators that could potentially serve as immune biomarkers to varying extents. These include the T1/T2 ratio, Treg/Th17 ratio, IL-10/TNF-α ratio, IL-33, IL-34, IL-6, IL-4, other cytokines, and NOX2/4.

We describe a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic myopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and end-stage renal disease who was admitted for heart failure and listed for a dual cardiac-renal transplantation. Extensive calcification in the iliac arteries prevented clamping. Proximal endovascular balloon control of the left iliac artery was achieved using contralateral access; distal control was established by passing a Fogarty catheter distally through an iliac arteriotomy, later used for anastomosis of the cadaveric conduit.

The indication for kidney transplantation over a urinary diversion (UD) for patients with severe lower urinary tract dysfunction and end-stage renal disease is a controversial issue. Thanks to advances in robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) programs, the boundaries are being pushed further. We present the first RAKT series reported for patients undergoing simple cystectomy and UD for benign bladder disease.

Introduction: Muscles are crucial for daily activities, and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) often have reduced muscle mass and strength. We aimed to investigate the potential relationship of muscle mass and strength with physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in KTRs.

Methods: Data from the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Studies were used.
