A French Cohort Study of Kidney Retransplantation after Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders arising after kidney transplantation portend an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Retransplantation of patients who had developed post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder remains questionable owing to the potential risks of recurrence when immunosuppression is reintroduced. Here, we investigated the feasibility of kidney retransplantation after the development of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We reviewed the data from all patients who underwent kidney retransplantation after post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in all adult kidney transplantation centers in France between 1998 and 2015.
