Second and third kidney transplants show promising survival rates, with third grafts outperforming second grafts. Immunosuppression with cyclosporine (CyA) improved second graft survival compared to azathioprine (Aza), indicating its benefit for repeated kidney transplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology and Transplant Surgery
  • Immunosuppression Therapy
  • Graft Survival Analysis

Context:

  • Analysis of 29 years of kidney transplantation data.
  • Focus on repeated kidney transplants (Tx2, Tx3) and maintenance immunosuppression.
  • Comparison of azathioprine (Aza) and cyclosporine (CyA) regimens.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of repeated kidney transplantations (Tx2, Tx3).
  • To compare graft and recipient survival rates based on different immunosuppression strategies.
  • To assess the long-term efficacy of subsequent kidney transplants versus dialysis.

Summary:

  • Retrospective study of 134 patients undergoing Tx2 and 17 patients undergoing Tx3.
  • Third grafts showed significantly higher 3-year survival (66%) than second grafts (18%).

  • Cyclosporine (CyA) immunosuppression resulted in better Tx2 survival (55%) compared to azathioprine (Aza) (28%).
  • Paired analysis showed similar graft and recipient survival for Tx2 vs. Tx1.
  • Long-term survival (10 years post-Tx1) was better for patients with Tx1+Tx2 (82%) than Tx1 alone (49%).

    • Impact:

    • Repeated kidney transplantation is a viable option with low mortality.
    • Significant probability of long-term graft function is achievable.
    • Improved quality and length of life compared to regular dialysis treatment.
