Solid Organ Transplantation and HIV Infection
W G Polak, A GładyszAnn Transplant 2003; 8(4): 16-21 :: ID: 7542
Abstract
HIV infection has been traditionally considered to be an absolute contraindication for solid organ transplantation. Recent advances in HIV
treatment, as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), significantly reduced HIV-related mortality and morbidity. At the same time the number of HIV-infected patients with end-stage organ diseases constantly increased. Current data describing solid organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients demonstrated comparable outcome to that in the HIV-negative population. In light of this, solid organ transplantation should be considered as a treatment option for selected HIV-positive patients with end-stage organ disease.
