Abstract
Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and solid organ transplantation (SOT) have evolved into successful, curative treatments for many severe congenital and acquired diseases. Both use medical products of human origin and should therefore have overarching regulatory frameworks. Both require critical decisions about donor selection, donor/recipient matching, immunosuppression, and long-term care, all tasks best performed by a trained, highly specialized multidisciplinary team. Both need committed institutions and governmental support for their success. Whereas the main barrier for performing SOT is the lack of suitable organs, access to a transplant center is the main limitation for HCT, which remains a highly specialized, complex, resource-intensive, and costly medical procedure.
Methods and results: Here, we describe the main indications for HCT and SOT, their similarities and differences regarding donor selection, treatment prior to transplant, intensity and duration of immunosuppression after transplantation, their main complications, and consequences of donation for living donors.
Conclusions: Strategies to improve worldwide access to HCT and SOT are discussed, as well as future developments in this highly innovative field of medicine.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
