Renal transplantation has become an established form of therapy for children with endstage renal disease. Evaluation and elimination of potential risk factors, standardization of operative technique and better immunosuppressive regimens improved the outcome in paediatric patients. A shortage or organs means that transplantations cannot always be offered to children for whom it would be the treatment of choice. Kidney donation by living relatives opens up the potential for optimal rehabilitation of patients in the paediatric age group.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
