The Impact of Donor and Recipient Diabetes on Patient and Graft Survival in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With the growing demand for kidney transplants, kidneys from donors with diabetes mellitus are used more frequently. This raises the concerning possibility that a kidney with early-stage diabetic nephropathy may be transplanted into a recipient who subsequently develops posttransplant dysglycemia; however, it is unclear what impact this will have on graft function and survival. This study investigated graft and patient survival when the donor, recipient, or both have diabetes.

Methods

Data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry were used to analyze first-time adult recipients of deceased-donor kidneys between 2003 and 2022. Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare primary outcomes of death-censored graft surviva
