Despite advances in immunosuppressive therapies, many patients progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and kidney transplantation becomes essential for improving survival. However, the unique characteristics of autoimmune diseases make the timing of kidney transplantation and post-transplant management challenging. This review evaluates authoritative guidelines and recent studies to identify optimal timing for kidney transplantation and effective pre- and post-transplant management measures for patients with LN. RECENT FINDINGS: Advancements in immunosuppressive therapies, including calcineurin inhibitors, Voclosporin, and biologic agents such as belimumab, have significantly improved LN management. Emerging biomarkers, such as urinary MCP-1 and BAFF, offer promising tools for monitoring LN activity and predicting recurrence risk post-transplantation. Current guidelines emphasize the importance of achieving disease quiescence before transplantation, while new evidence supports the benefits of preemptive transplantation and personalized immunosuppressive regimens in improving patient and graft survival. This review highlights the latest evidence and strategies for optimizing kidney transplantation outcomes in LN patients, focusing on timing, immunosuppression, and disease monitoring.</p>","PeriodicalId":49229,"journal":{"name":"BMC Surgery","volume":"25 1","pages":"112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11929324/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
