Duke activity status index is not predictive of outcomes after kidney transplantation: a retrospective observational study

 Published on 09/07/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Fergie Ruth et al. | BMC Nephrology 2025; 26(1): 349

Recipients of kidney transplants with pre-existing reduced functional capacity have an increased risk of adverse outcomes after kidney transplantation. These include increased mortality, earlier graft loss, delayed graft function, prolonged length of stay, early hospital re-admission, immunosuppression...

Risk and prediction of kidney failure early after liver transplantation

 Published on 02/07/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Tuija Innanen et al. | Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 2024; 59(4): 461-8

Kidney disease is common after liver transplantation (LT), but postoperative kidney failure is difficult to predict. Current guidelines recommend simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) in patients with pre-LT estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 30–40 mL/min, which...

Pathophysiology of rejection in kidney transplantation

 Published on 25/06/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | David Cucchiari et al. | Expert Review of Clinical Immunology 2024; 20(12): 1471-81

Rejection remains a major obstacle to successful kidney transplantation. The complex pathophysiology of rejection depends on a fine-tuned interplay between the innate and adaptive immune systems. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pathophysiology of rejection of kidney grafts, performed...

Perspective: metabolomics has the potential to change the landscape of kidney transplantation diagnostics

 Published on 18/06/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Dirk R J Kuypers * et al. | Biomarkers in Medicine 2024; 18(17-18): 787-94

Kidney transplantation is the most efficient renal replacement therapy. Current diagnostics for monitoring graft health are either invasive or lack precision. Metabolomics is an emerging discipline focused on the analysis of the small molecules involved in metabolism. Given the kidneys' central role...

Successful living donor kidney transplantation in a 14-year-old boy with Fontan circulation

 Published on 11/06/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Satoshi Okada et al. | Pediatric Nephrology 2025; aop: 10.1007/s00467-025-06826-x

Although the long-term prognosis of patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) has improved, the incidence of cases with decreased kidney function continues to increase. However, reports on kidney transplantation (KT) in patients with CCHD remain limited. Furthermore, KT following Fontan...
