Effect of kidney replacement therapy modality after first kidney graft failure on second kidney transplantation outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of information regarding which is the best dialysis technique after kidney transplant (KT) failure. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of kidney replacement therapy modality-peritoneal dialysis (TX-PD-TX), haemodialysis (TX-HD-TX) and preemptive deceased donor retransplantation (TX-TX) on patient survival and second KT outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective observational study from the Catalan Renal Registry was carried out. We included adult patients with failing of their first KT from 2000 to 2018.

Results

Among 2045 patients, 1829 started on HD (89.4%), 168 on PD (8.2%) and 48 (2.4%) received a preemptive KT. Non-inclusion on the KT waiting list and HD were associated with worse patient survival. For patients included on the waitin
