BTS Monothematic Meeting 2024

.

Ageing and Transplantation

Thursday 7th November, King’s College Hospital, London

The BTS will hold a one-day meeting to bring together researchers and clinicians to examine major issues around ageing and deceased donor kidney, and liver, transplantation.

As the UK’s population ages and accumulates multiple co-morbidities, transplant units are facing progressively difficult choices around the utilisation of organs from older donors, and how to optimise outcomes in elderly recipients. The meeting will examine the fundamental biological changes in ageing organs, novel interventions, and technological approaches to the older donor, with UK-based and international speakers. The final session will focus on ‘pre-habilitation’ and will update colleagues on UK and international evidence in this increasingly important field.
