Outcomes of Renal Transplantation in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

CONCLUSIONS End-stage kidney disease patients with vasculitis, undergoing renal transplantation, are at elevated risk of mortality and postoperative infection compared to patients without antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. The risk of relapse is also high in these patients. However, renal transplantation offers a survival advantage for vasculitis patients who survive the early post-transplantation period.PMID:38528671 | PMC:PMC10981353 | DOI:10.12659/AOT.943433
