In this popular science article, we mainly quote a review published in the journal Nephrology, Transplantation and Dialysis, which is published by Oxford University Press and is one of the authoritative journals in the field of kidney transplantation.

Although kidney transplantation is not a life-saving straw for patients with uremia, it does have obvious advantages in improving their quality of life. The shortage of kidney donors, coupled with the advantages of related kidney transplantation, has attracted much attention. In the future, with the development of technology, related kidney transplantation will develop in a…

When it comes to kidney transplantation through relative donation, one of the most pressing questions people are concerned about is “After donating a kidney, the donor only has one kidney left. Will this affect his/her future life?”

A relative’s kidney transplant is like a family superhero with many exciting superpowers. Although there are some little monsters to face, these challenges can be overcome with the right guidance and support.

Kidney transplants between relatives have a relatively high success rate due to the high genetic similarity and relatively low rejection reaction. However, the recovery period after the operation is a long and challenging process for the recipient.

Kidney transplants between relatives have a higher success rate and better long-term prognosis because relatives have a more similar genetic background, which reduces the risk of rejection and complications. However, kidney transplants between relatives also have the risk of serious complications such as rejection. Therefore, after kidney transplantation, you must listen to your doctor and…

Hello, everyone! Relative donor kidney transplantation, as a special and important kidney transplantation method, has brought hope of life to countless kidney patients. However, behind this hope, we should pay more attention …

Relative kidney transplantation must undergo strict ethical approval before implementation. According to the latest “Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation” in my country, living organ donors must be at least 18 years old, and recipients are limited to the donor’s spouse, direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations.

According to the 2024 edition of my country’s “Regulations on Human Organ Transplantation and Donation”, it is clearly stipulated that the recipients of living organs are limited to the spouse, direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations of the living organ donor.

Due to the blood relationship between relatives, the tissue matching between the donor kidney and the recipient is often better, so the risk of rejection is lower; Since the living donor kidney is used, the cold and warm ischemia time of the transplanted kidney is shorter, the ischemia-reperfusion injury is mild, and the overall quality…
