Transplantation

Kidney transplantation

Kidney transplantation is the most common type of organ transplantation; the main indication is the terminal stage of kidney failure.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Procedure, Forecast

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (TSCC) is a rapidly developing technology that can potentially help cure malignant diseases of the blood (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma) and other hematologic diseases (eg, primary immunodeficiency, aplastic anemia, myelodysplasia).

Heart transplantation

Heart transplantation is a chance for patients at terminal stage of heart failure, with coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or congenital heart diseases, with a high risk of death and so serious symptoms that exclude optimal use of drugs and medical equipment.

Post-transplant complications

Rejection of solid organs can be fulminant, accelerated, acute or chronic (late). These types of rejection to some extent overlap in time, but differ in the histological picture. The symptomatology of rejection varies depending on the organ.

Immunosuppressive therapy for transplant

Immunosuppressants suppress transplant rejection and a primary response to the transplant itself. However, they suppress all types of immune response and play a role in the development of numerous post-transplant complications, including death from severe infections.

Transplantation: general information

Transplantation can be performed using patient's own tissues (autotransplantation, for example, bone, skin graft), genetically identical (syngeneic) donor tissues (isotransplantation)
