Renal transplantation following previous heart, liver, and lung transplantation: An 8-year single-center experience

The Influence of Induction Therapy for Kidney Transplantation after a Non-Renal Transplant

“…Although the number of patients is small, non-renal transplant recipients represent a growing segment of the kidney transplant wait list. Evidence indicates that these patients receive a survival benefit from kidney transplantation compared with remaining on the kidney wait list (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Taken together, these findings indicate that nonrenal transplant recipients with subsequent chronic renal disease are at increased risk of mortality and those who are candidates for kidney transplantation receive a substantial survival benefit.…”

Living related renal transplantation for end‐stage renal disease after liver transplantation from a brain‐dead donor

“…1,5 Although some investigators have reported that the survival prognosis of patients who developed ESRD after organ transplantation was poor, 6 some recent reports have demonstrated fair outcomes of renal transplantation for ESRD following a prior solid organ transplantation. 2,5 These recent reports strongly supported our decision to indicate renal transplantation for our patient with HCV infection who had undergone an earlier liver transplantation.…”

“…2 Moreover, previous studies on successful renal transplantation following other organ transplantation showed have shown only short-term follow-ups of small size samples. The present patient is regarded as a high-risk patient and is being carefully observed.…”

An Emerging Population

“…More recently, it was shown that preemptive transplants confer benefit to KTx candidates who were heart transplant recipients (8). Such a practice, in addition to careful patient selection, would certainly help to minimize waiting times given the poor survival of the NRTx recipient/ KTx candidate on the waiting list (9,10).…”
