    The process of transplantation of tissues and organs, as a highly specialized treatment method, has a unique place in the field of medical science and practice. On occasion of the 40 anniversary of the first renal transplantation in adult in Bulgaria, the developments in this area are reviewed chronologically. The initial experiments on test animals, as well as the first renal transplantation in adult are described in details. For the abovementioned period 435 renal transplantations have been performed in UMHAT "Alexandrovska", 231 (53.2%) form living kidney donor and 204 (46.9%)--from cadaveric renal donors. The benefits of the existing organization of transplantation in UMHAT "Alexandrovska" are outlined, as well as the problems preventing the transplantation process to achieve even wider usage as a method for treatment of end-stage organ diseases.

    Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

    Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

    A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

    Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

    Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

    Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is an essential intervention for patients experiencing severe kidney dysfunction. This therapy offers a continuous mechanism for removing fluids and toxins from the bloodstream, leveraging the patient’s blood pressure to facilitate filtration through a specialized filter. This method contrasts with intermittent dialysis, providing a gentler and more consistent removal of waste products and excess fluid, which is particularly beneficial in critically...

    Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

    Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, also known as CRRT, is a procedural treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) that gradually removes uremic toxins and fluids while maintaining acid-base balance and stabilizing electrolytes. It is particularly useful for hemodynamically unstable patients. Unlike intermittent hemodialysis, which is faster, CRRT provides a gentler approach over 24 hours, closely mimicking the function of natural kidneys. However, CRRT is not ideal for patients with...
