Predictors for transplant renal artery stenosis in kidney transplant recipients: a systematic-review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kidney transplant recipients after kidney transplantation may develop transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS). Multiple studies have sought to identify risk factors, yet the findings remain inconsistent.

Methods

PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection were comprehensively searched to retrieve studies. The 1st screening phase required studies to be in English and evaluate patients with TRAS. The 2nd screening phase needed studies to provide extractable data. Quality of each included study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The protocol was registered through PROSPERO (CRD42023455295).

Results

A total of 25 cohort and 6 case-control studies were included, with the majority being of moderate quality. The predictors for TRAS identified in
