Kidney Transplant I: Introduction01:28

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

187
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...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

753
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Kidney Transplant III: Nursing Management

209
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...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

188
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...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants01:22

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

674
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • eHealth (electronic Health) is emerging as a transformative field in medicine.
  • It holds significant potential to enhance medical care, streamline processes, and reduce healthcare expenditures.
  • Its application in transplantation, particularly for post-transplant care, is a growing area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of eHealth applications in transplantation.
  • To analyze clinical studies focusing on post-transplant care over the past five years.
  • To identify prevalent eHealth tools and their applications in patient management.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted for clinical studies on eHealth in transplantation published within the last five years.
  • Manuscripts were screened, with a focus on clinical reports and randomized controlled trials.
  • Data extraction included study type, transplant type, patient demographics, and eHealth features investigated.

Main Results:

  • The review identified 52 clinical reports and 8 randomized controlled trials from 463 retrieved manuscripts.
  • Kidney transplantation was the most studied (19 studies), followed by liver (10) and other solid organ, bone-marrow, and lung transplants.
  • Mobile applications for patients (24 studies) and video consultations (18 studies) were the most frequent eHealth tools, focusing on self-management, adherence, and symptom reporting.

Conclusions:

  • eHealth solutions, particularly mobile apps and telehealth, show promise in post-transplant care.
  • Successful implementation requires addressing the human factor, data protection, and healthcare integration.
  • Further high-quality prospective clinical trials are essential to validate the purported benefits of eHealth in improving patient outcomes, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in transplantation.
