Transplant nephrectomy after graft failure: is it so risky? Impact on morbidity, mortality and alloimmunization

ConclusionThe risk of bleeding, and therefore of transfusion, constitutes the major challenge of this surgery in patients eligible for retransplantation. Even if transfusions in this context of transplant nephrectomy had no significant impact on alloimmunization, this high-risk surgery, whenever possible, must be performed electively in a well-prepared patient.
