Abstract
Kidney transplantation is a crucial treatment option for end-stage renal disease patients, but challenges related to graft function, rejection and immunosuppressant side effects persist. This review highlights the potential of nanotechnology in addressing these challenges. Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions to enhance organ preservation, evaluate graft function, mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve drug delivery for immunosuppressants. The integration of nanotechnology holds promise for improving outcomes in kidney transplantation.
