Bridging Oceans and Distance: Excellent Long‐Term Outcomes in Non‐Mainland Kidney Transplantation

Key Points

To evaluate the long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation (KT) using kidneys from non-mainland (NM) donors.
Analysis of long-term kidney transplant outcomes
Assessment of event-free survival rates
Comparison of outcomes based on donor distance and cold ischemia time.
Improved event-free survival observed at 10 years post-transplant
Successful outcomes despite longer distances from NM donors
Encouragement for increased utilization of NM kidney donors.

Abstract

Despite longer distances and CIT, select kidneys from NM donors can be successfully transplanted with excellent long-term outcomes, including improved event-free survival at 10 years post-transplant. Use of NM donors should be encouraged to increase rates of KT.
