Renal transplantation is the first choice of treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. It offers a longer life span, a better quality of life, and lower health care costs as compared to long-term dialysis. In the past years, a constantly rising demand of kidneys on the one hand and a shortage of disposable organs on the other hand pose a growing challenge on transplant medicine. Donor and recipient gender may influence many aspects of kidney transplantation, but the nature of these interactions is still unclear. This article summarizes a part of our present knowledge in the field of gender-related kidney donation and kidney transplantation. Causes for gender disparity and its consequences will be discussed.
肾移植是终末期肾病（ESRD）患者的首选治疗方法。与长期透析相比，它能延长患者寿命，提高生活质量，并降低医疗成本。在过去几年中，一方面对肾脏的需求不断上升，另一方面可利用器官短缺，这给移植医学带来了日益严峻的挑战。供体和受体的性别可能会影响肾移植的许多方面，但这些相互作用的本质仍不清楚。本文总结了我们目前在性别相关肾捐赠和肾移植领域的部分知识。将讨论性别差异的原因及其后果。
