Abstract:BackgroundRenal function is reduced in patients undergoing heart transplant due to hemodynamic compromise, cardiorenal syndrome, and nephrotoxin exposure. No current studies evaluate renal function in retransplants.MethodsWe reviewed all heart transplants at our center from 1995 to 2021 and matched first‐time heart transplants with retransplants, based on age at transplant, sex, and race. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was derived from CKiD‐U25 calculator using creatinine and measured prior to tra… Show more
