Serum uric acid as a risk factor for rejection after deceased donor kidney transplantation: A mono-institutional analysis of paired kidneys.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) is a major therapeutic option for patients with end-stage renal diseases. Although medical techniques improved in recent years, acute or chronic rejection after DDKT is not uncommon and often results in poor graft survival. Therefore, the determination of risk factors is very important to stratify patients and to improve outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the risk factors for treated rejection (TR) of patients after DDKT.

Methods

Clinical data of deceased donors and corresponding recipients were retrospectively collected. The primary outcome was TR defined as the treatment for rejection within 24 months after DDKT. Univariate comparisons of baseline characteristics were performed with Chi-square test, t-test, and Man
