Kidney and Graft Failure Post-Transplant: Reasons and Strategies for Prevention and Management

Dr. Sagar Gupta, a senior consultant in kidney transplantation at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, introduces key aspects of kidney and graft failure post-transplantation. This educational session explores risk factors, prevention strategies, and management approaches, emphasizing the role of immunosuppression in graft survival.

Key learning objectives include:

  • Understanding risk factors and outcomes of kidney and graft failure.
  • Strategies for prevention and management.
  • The role of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in preventing rejection.

The discussion highlights acute and chronic rejection mechanisms, donor-recipient compatibility, and immunosuppressive balance. Early diagnosis is crucial, as delayed intervention reduces treatment efficacy. Identifying donor-related, recipient-related, and perioperative risk factors helps optimize transplant success.

The session will further explore T-cell and antibody-mediated rejection, their histological classifications, and treatment considerations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of kidney transplant failure dynamics.
