Clinical Outcomes of Living-Donor Kidney Transplants with Multiple Renal Arteries Compared to Single Renal Artery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Received: 24 May 2026;  Published: 25 August 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2603274

Abstract

Multiple renal arteries in living-donor kidney transplantation create technical challenges, but their effect on clinical outcomes is unclear. This review assessed whether grafts with multiple renal arteries differ in short-term outcomes compared with single renal artery grafts. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines and PROSPERO registration, a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted from database inception until 31 October 2025. Studies publishe [...]

Advances in Machine Perfusion for Liver Transplantation: Mechanisms, Clinical Evidence, and Future Directions

Received: 23 April 2026;  Published: 17 August 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2603273

Abstract

Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, and selected hepatic malignancies, but its success is limited by a persistent shortage of suitable donor organs. This has driven increased use of extended criteria donors (ECDs), including steatotic and donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts, which are more susceptible to preservation injury and often inadequately supported by traditional static cold storage (SCS). Machine perfusion (MP) ha [...]

Volunteer Stem Cell Donor Registries: Global Evolution and the Indian Perspective

Received: 24 March 2026;  Published: 30 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2603272

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a potentially curative option for a range of malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. However, only approximately 25-30% of patients have access to a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor (MRD), necessitating alternative donor approaches, including matched unrelated donor (MUD) and haploidentical transplantation. Although advances in haploidentical HSCT have substantially improved donor availability, MUD HSCT continu [...]
