Black recipients have a higher risk of delayed allograft function, which can negatively impact kidney transplant survival. Further research into modifiable risk factors is crucial for improving transplant outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation Immunology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Kidney allograft survival is poorer in Black recipients compared to White recipients.
  • Delayed allograft function is a known factor reducing renal allograft survival.
  • The specific relationship between delayed allograft function and Black race requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between Black race and the occurrence of delayed allograft function.
  • To determine if race is an independent predictor of delayed allograft function post-kidney transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • A non-concurrent study analyzed 325 cadaveric kidney allograft recipients.
  • Delayed allograft function was defined as requiring dialysis within the first week post-transplant.

  • Logistic regression models, both unadjusted and adjusted, were used to assess the relationship between race and delayed allograft function.

    • Main Results:

    • Black recipients experienced delayed allograft function more frequently (62.6%) than White recipients (48.3%).
    • Black race was a significant predictor of delayed allograft function (OR=1.80, P=0.02).
    • This association remained consistent across various analytical models and definitions of delayed allograft function.

    Conclusions:

    • Black recipients face an increased risk of delayed allograft function.
    • This heightened risk may contribute to poorer kidney allograft outcomes in Black individuals.
    • Identifying modifiable risk factors for delayed allograft function is a priority to improve transplant success.
