Pneumonia after kidney transplantation?

summary

The main problems after kidney transplantation are as follows. Because renal rejection and survival rate or life span transplantation are "exchange" between the external kidney and the internal kidney, the new kidney can not get along well with the new environment at the beginning, and they do not adapt to each other at the beginning, so there will be a rejection period. Pneumonia after kidney transplantation? Let's talk about it.

Pneumonia after kidney transplantation?

When the kidney of another person is transplanted, this kind of "non self" organ exists in the body of the recipient, so it is "attacked" by the immune active cells mainly composed of lymphocytes in the body. This is what medicine calls rejection. There are four types of rejection: hyperacute rejection, accelerated rejection, acute rejection and chronic rejection.

Hyperacute rejection is indeed a kind of "super" rejection. Most of them occur within minutes to hours after the opening of the same tube of anastomotic blood, which is also called "rejection on the operating table". The transplanted kidney suddenly softened from red to purple, and soon stopped rejecting. Only a few patients can delay the occurrence, but only within 24 hours after transplantation. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the transplanted kidney should be removed.

Accelerated rejection refers to the rejection within 3-5 days after surgery. The patients showed elevated body temperature, oliguria, elevated blood pressure, swelling and tenderness of the transplanted kidney, progressive development of the disease, and rapid rise of serum creatinine. The other patients were improved at the beginning of treatment, but relapsed after drug withdrawal, aggravated systemic reaction, persistent distension and pain in the transplanted kidney area, and no improvement in renal function. The transplanted kidney should be removed as soon as possible.

matters needing attention

In short, patients with postoperative rejection, to go to the hospital in time for treatment, can not delay treatment time. We must respect science and review regularly to ensure the long-term and normal function of transplanted kidney.
