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 more accurate, efficient, safe and personalized direction.
01Gene sequencing technology
First, gene sequencing technology will enable us to conduct a more accurate assessment of the matching degree between donors and recipients before surgery. By deeply analyzing the genetic information of donors and recipients, the accuracy of matching can be improved, and then “different treatments can be carried out according to individual needs”, thereby reducing the risk of rejection and improving the survival rate of transplanted kidneys. This personalized matching based on genetic information indicates that kidney transplantation will enter a customized era in the future.
02 Surgical technology innovation
Technological innovation will also continue to promote the innovation of surgical methods. Minimally invasive surgery can not only reduce surgical trauma for both donors and recipients, but also help shorten the time of postoperative recovery. The application of minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery can further improve the safety, comfort and aesthetics of donor kidney extraction and kidney transplantation.
03Postoperative management
Postoperative management is equally important. The research and clinical application of non-invasive biomarkers will enable doctors to detect transplanted kidney rejection or patient infection risks early and in a timely manner through simple urine or blood tests, thereby improving the long-term survival rate of transplanted kidneys and patients.
04 Immune tolerance
The induction strategy of immune tolerance is a hot topic in organ transplantation research. Although existing immunosuppressive drugs are effective, their side effects are also obvious. Exploring new immunosuppressive regimens, especially achieving immune tolerance without taking medicine, will be the future research direction. The good tissue compatibility between donors and recipients in related kidney transplantation provides an ideal platform for achieving this research goal.
05 Expansion of kidney donor sources
The expansion of kidney donor sources is also one of the future trends. ABO blood type incompatible kidney transplantation has been very mature in related kidney transplantation, bringing hope to more patients with uremia. In addition, the use of kidneys donated by small renal cancer also shows the possibility of “turning waste into treasure” under certain conditions.
06 Artificial intelligence
Finally, the integration of artificial intelligence and big data will bring revolutionary changes to kidney transplantation. By collecting and analyzing a large amount of clinical data and biological information, it is possible not only to optimize the follow-up system after transplantation, but also to provide each patient with personalized treatment plans, thereby realizing the true personalization and precision of medical services. In short, future related kidney transplantation will be more accurate, efficient, safe and personalized. The advancement of science and technology continues to open up new possibilities for us, bringing more hope and a better quality of life to kidney transplant patients. Let us look forward to the arrival of this day together.
