Research progress on risk factors of primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation / 器官移植

Lung transplantation is the only effective approach to treat end-stage lung diseases. Nevertheless, early prognosis of lung transplant recipients is significantly worse than that of other solid organ transplant recipients. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is one of the main causes affecting clinical prognosis of the recipients. PGD is an early acute lung injury after lung transplantation, which is the main cause of early death of lung transplant recipients. Risk factors of PGD after lung transplantation consist of donor, recipient and operation, etc. In this article, the risk factors of PGD after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for clinical practice.
