However, there are still many challenges after kidney transplantation, such as rejection, infection, ischemia-reperfusion injury and fibrosis of transplant kidney, which seriously affect the efficacy of kidney transplantation. With the development of translational medicine, regenerative medicine, biomaterials and other emerging fields, Chinese research teams continue to work hard and publish many bright researches to solve various clinical problems related to kidney transplantation. This article reviews the basic and clinical frontiers of kidney transplantation in 2022 as well as the new techniques and advances in the field of transplantation, focuses on the achievements made by the Chinese team in the field of transplantation in 2022, and provides ideas for solving the major clinical problems of kidney transplantation from the perspective of localization to promote the further development of kidney transplantation in China.
