Patients seeking pre-emptive kidney transplants who have pre-dialysis transplants tend to live longer than those that are post-dialysis.
Pre-dialysis transplant patients with high level of kidney function are unlikely to benefit from the transplantation as compared to those with low-level kidney function, say researchers.
“Based on these findings, we feel that patients and transplant experts anticipating a preemptive kidney transplant can wait for clinical indications to emerge without any significant loss of survival advantage associated with a preemptive transplant,” said researcher Dr. Basit Javaid.
