title: [Organ transplants for HIV-infected patients--time for reevaluation?].
abstract: With the improvement in antiretroviral therapy, comorbidity is increasingly a cause of morbidity among HIV-infected patients. In the United States and several European countries, kidney and liver transplantations have been performed on selected HIV-infected patients. The short-term results have been comparable to those among HIV-negative recipients. Based on these results, it is recommended that kidney and liver transplants be offered to Danish HIV patients based on the same criteria as those that apply for non-HIV-infected patients with end-stage kidney or liver disease.
