The 25 pages that link to Kidney transplantation, each with the reason it gives.

• Chronic kidney diseaseBroader topic: For eligible people with kidney failure, transplantation can replace dialysis as long-term treatment.

• Organ transplantationBroader topic: It is the most common solid-organ transplant and can use a living donor.

• KidneyRelated: A transplanted organ can restore sustained filtration more fully than dialysis.

• HemodialysisCompared with: A functioning transplant can replace the need for ongoing dialysis.

• Organ donationBroader topic: Kidneys are the most frequently transplanted solid organs and can come from living donors.

• Renal replacement therapyBroader topic: Transplantation is a replacement option that can reduce or end the need for dialysis.

• Peritoneal dialysisCompared with: A transplant can replace ongoing dialysis when a suitable donor kidney is available.

• Cold storage of organsRelated: Kidneys tolerate cold storage relatively well, enabling longer transport and scheduling than several other organs.

• Kidney exchangeNarrower topic: Exchange exists to make living-donor kidney transplantation possible for otherwise incompatible pairs.

• CyclosporineBroader topic: Kidney transplantation was among the settings in which cyclosporine's benefits became evident.

• Mycophenolate mofetilRelated: Mycophenolate mofetil is commonly used to prevent rejection after kidney transplantation.

• TacrolimusBroader topic: Tacrolimus is commonly included in long-term immunosuppression after kidney transplantation.

• Jonah LomuRelated: Lomu’s long struggle with kidney disease and his transplant became a prominent part of his later life.

• NephrologyRelated: Nephrologists assess transplant eligibility and manage kidney function after transplantation.

• SirolimusBroader topic: Sirolimus is used in some kidney-transplant regimens, often alongside other immunosuppressants.

• UremiaRelated: A functioning transplant can provide sustained clearance and resolve uremia caused by kidney failure.

• CystinosisRelated: It can treat kidney failure from cystinosis but does not correct cystine accumulation elsewhere.

• Kidney failureRelated: A functioning donor kidney can provide more continuous replacement than dialysis.

• Thomas StarzlRelated: Starzl’s clinical work and immunosuppressive regimens also advanced kidney graft survival.

• Atypical hemolytic uremic syndromeRelated: Recurrence risk after transplantation depends partly on the underlying complement abnormality.

• Focal segmental glomerulosclerosisRelated: FSGS may recur in a transplanted kidney, making recurrence risk part of transplant planning.

• Nancy Scheper-HughesRelated: Transplant demand creates the market pressures examined in her organ-trade research.

• CiclosporinBroader topic: Early clinical use in kidney transplantation showed how ciclosporin could improve graft survival.

• Joseph E. MurrayNarrower topic: Murray’s 1954 operation became a landmark in the development of this treatment.

• Transplants (medicine)Broader topic: It is a treatment for kidney failure and often avoids long-term dialysis.
