متن کاملRecipient-related predictors of kidney transplantation outcomes in the elderly.
BACKGROUND It is not clear whether in old people with end-stage renal disease kidney transplantation is superior to dialysis therapy. METHODS We compared mortality rates between kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and the general population across different age categories. We also examined patient and allograft survival in 15 667 elderly KTRs (65-<90 yr old, 36% female) within three age subgr...
