“…Kidney transplantation has been the gold standard renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) because it leads to superior survival and quality of life among patients compared with other replacement therapies (Wolfe et al, 1999). This has been consistently reported since the first successful kidney transplantation between identical twins in the 1950s (Force and Andreu, 2005). Transplantation and dialysis are the primary treatments for ESRD and these two treatments can significantly prolong a patient's lifespan and improve their quality of life.…”

Kidney transplantation is an effective method to improve the condition of patients with end-stage renal disease. The gut microbiota significantly affects the immune system and can be used as an influencing factor to change the prognoses of patients who have undergone kidney transplantation. Recipients after kidney transplantation showed a lower abundance of Firmicutes and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and a higher proportion of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. After using prebiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation to regulate the microbial community, the prognoses of patients who underwent kidney transplantation evidently improved. We aimed to determine the relationship between gut microbiota and various postoperative complications inpatients who have undergone kidney transplantation in recent years and to explore how gut microecology affects post-transplant complications. An in-depth understanding of the specific functions of gut microbiota and identification of the actual pathogenic flora during complications in patients undergoing kidney transplantation can help physicians develop strategies to restore the normal intestinal microbiome of transplant patients to maximize their survival and improve their quality of life.

The following two articles explores the role of the nurse in caring for and educating the patient both pre- and post-renal transplantation. The nurse plays a pivotal role in assisting the patient facing the many challenges that are associated with transplantation. Renal transplantation is considered the optimal treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF) and who are receiving dialysis. This first article will explore the role that nurses play regarding the care of the patient pre-transplant, including the physical, psychological and educational support required to assist the patient and family members deal with the many challenges associated with transplantation.
