AI Article Synopsis
- The European Union includes 30 outermost and overseas countries and territories (OCTs), where renal transplantation is growing, but many patients still seek treatment in continental Europe, necessitating collaborative care.
- Each OCT has its own infectious disease patterns, which are crucial for ensuring effective post-transplant care for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).
- The paper suggests a practical approach to enhance pre-transplant evaluations and provides region-specific epidemiological data, advocating for more collaborative research among the OCTs to improve care for infected KTRs.
Article Abstract
Background: The European Union encompasses 30 outermost and overseas countries and territories (OCTs). Despite a recent increasing activity of renal transplantation in these territories, many patients still undergo transplantation in continental Europe, with follow-up care coordinated between health professionals from both their transplant center and their home region. Each territory has its unique infectious epidemiology which must be known to ensure appropriate care for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).
Aims: This paper proposes a pragmatic approach to optimize pre-transplant check-up and to provide an overview of the specific epidemiological features of each region. It offers practical algorithms to help practitioners in managing infected KTR living in these territories. This work advocates for increased collaborative research among European OCTs.
