Access to Waitlisting and Posttransplant Outcomes in Patients With Failed Kidney Allografts Secondary to Recurrent Glomerulonephritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recurrent glomerulonephritis (GN) is an important cause of allograft loss after transplantation when GN is the primary cause of kidney failure. Retransplantation after allograft loss from recurrent disease requires careful consideration. We aimed to determine the probability of relisting and the risk of allograft loss after retransplantation in recipients with prior allograft loss from recurrent GN.

Methods

Using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry and multivariable Cox modeling, we compared the probability of waitlisting and allograft loss after second transplantation between those with and without prior allograft loss from recurrent disease.

Results

Of 3276 patients who received a second kidney transplant, 179 (5%) los
