| 摘要 |
Combined heart and kidney transplantation (CHRT) has been an acceptable
therapeutic option with a lower allograft rejection rate than isolated heart or kidney
transplantation. Herein we present a patient who received CHRT using a single donor
at a medical center in 1995. This is the first case of CHRT in Taiwan. After ten years
follow up, no renal rejection but one episode of cardiac rejection has been noted.
Cardiac function and renal function have remained normal. We reviewed the
literature about immunology and post-transplantation complications of CHRT. In
conclusion, CHRT is a feasible procedure for patients with end-stage cardiac and
renal failure. This patient, with only one episode of rejection has attained long-term
survival with fair cardiac and renal function. |
