Transplantation medicine is a rapidly evolving field. Keeping afloat of the published literature to offer the best clinical care to our patients is a daunting task. As part of its educational mission, the Descartes advisory board identified seven topics in kidney transplantation where there has been substantial progresses over the last years: kidney allocation within Eurotransplant; kidney exchange strategies; kidney machine perfusion strategies; the changing landscape of anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies; the new immunosuppressive drugs in the pipeline; strategies for immunosuppression minimization; and the continuous enigma of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis recurrence after transplantation. Here, we have summarized the main knowledge and the main challenges of these seven topics with the aim to provide transplant professionals at large with key bullet points to successfully understand these new concepts.
移植医学是一个快速发展的领域。要想为患者提供最佳的临床护理,就需要跟上已发表文献的步伐,这是一项艰巨的任务。作为其教育使命的一部分,Descartes 顾问委员会确定了过去几年中在七个肾脏移植领域取得实质性进展的主题:在 Eurotransplant 中的肾脏分配;肾脏交换策略;肾脏机器灌注策略;抗人类白细胞抗原 (HLA) 抗体的不断变化的格局;新的免疫抑制剂药物;免疫抑制最小化策略;以及移植后局灶节段性肾小球硬化症复发的持续谜团。在这里,我们总结了这七个主题的主要知识和主要挑战,旨在为广大移植专业人员提供关键要点,以成功理解这些新概念。
