Ischemia reperfusion control: the key of kidney graft outcome
L’ischémie reperfusion : Acteur essentiel du devenir du greffon rénal
Abstract
During the transplantation procedure, ischemia reperfusion is an inevitable situation characterized by specific pathophysiological processes, which ultimately act synergistically to create injuries in the graft. These injuries are involved in early graft dysfunctions which promote chronic dysfunction and compromise graft outcome. Progresses in immunosuppressive drug regimens now place ischemia reperfusion injury control at the forefont for innovative therapeutic strategy to improve the quality of the graft. This review details these different processes and its consequences on renal graft function underlying the interest of novel therapeutic strategy.
