Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is a considerable cause of late allograft failure in solid organ transplantation. Conventional approaches, using plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin, rituximab, bortezomib, and eculizumab have been unsuccessful in improving graft survival. This review aims to assess emerging therapies for AMR treatment across all organs. Using a PubMed search, literature published up to July 20, 2025 regarding tocilizumab, clazakizumab, carfilzomib, daratumumab, imlifidas [...]

Dietary guidelines and Nutrient Reference Intakes are important tools for maintaining optimal health in the general population. Similar guidelines have also been developed by specific organ health associations to help their patient populations recover from disorders or prevent/delay clinical events and subsequent complications. However, there are no specific national and international guidelines to provide dietary and nutrient intake recommendations peri-transplantation. The complex nature of tr [...]

The increasing demand for organ transplantation has necessitated innovative strategies to maximize donor organ utilization, especially in donation after circulatory death (DCD) contexts. This article explores the integration of direct lung recovery with abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (A-NRP) to optimize organ preservation and expand the donor pool. A-NRP effectively mitigates warm ischemic injury, supporting the viability of both abdominal and thoracic organs. Our approach emphasizes [...]

To address the pressing shortage of donor lungs, Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) transplantation has become a vital strategy for expanding the donor pool. Minimizing warm ischemic injury is crucial for optimizing organ viability and function. This review synthesizes current evidence on Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) and Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) in DCD lung transplantation. Analysis reveals their growing efficacy in minimizing ischemic damage, facilitating [...]
