Long term outcomes following kidney transplantation in children who weighed less than 15 kg – report from the UK Transplant Registry (original) (raw)

Long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation using organs from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) were evaluated in a cohort study involving 1313 kidneys from 974 donors over a decade. The study found that graft survival at 5 years was comparable across varying stages of AKI, with 78.5% to 84.6% survival rates. The research concluded that selected kidneys with mild chronic changes and minimal cortical necrosis can achieve excellent long-term outcomes, challenging existing concerns regarding the viability of such organs for transplantation.
