In patients with progressively deteriorating renal function secondary to CAN, addition of MMF followed by withdrawal of CsA results in a significant improvement in transplant function without the risk of acute rejection.

Findings suggest a need to review current practice to further understand individual and organizational reasons for the renal unit variation identified in patient understanding of transplant listing. The communication of information warrants attention to ensure patients are fully informed about the listing process and opportunity for pre-emptive transplantation in a way that is meaningful and understandable to them.

Organ donation after cardiac death (DCD) is increas-

Differences in listing practice exist between centers that cannot be explained by the patient case mix or center characteristics examined.

Objective To assess whether equity exists in access to renal transplantation in the UK after adjustment for case mix in incident patients with end stage renal disease. Design Longitudinal cohort study. Setting UK Renal Registry and UK Transplant Registry. Participants All incident renal replacement treatment patients (n=16 202) from 65 renal centres submitting data

In kidney transplantation, operational tolerance and almost tolerance are infrequent findings associated with excellent long-term death-censored graft survival.
