  • Title: Advances in pediatric solid organ transplantation.
    Author: Wise BV.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 1994 Dec; 29(4):615-29. PubMed ID: 7527521.
    Abstract:
    Thorough nursing assessment and intervention are necessary throughout the transplant period. As the demand and success of solid organ transplantation in the pediatric population grows, research in the area offers a bright future for transplantation. This has provided the impetus for changes in allocation policies such as providing extra points for pediatric renal transplant recipients and alternative surgical procedures, such as reduced liver grafts and living related donors. Currently, new immunosuppressant medications are being developed, which may decrease the incidence of rejection and produce fewer serious side effects than medications presently in use.
