Evaluate long-term survival outcomes of kidney retransplantation compared to first transplants in Türkiye.
Single-center retrospective study
Included 43 retransplant and 120 matched first transplant recipients
Matched on age, sex, donor type, and HLA mismatches
Analyzed post-transplant outcomes and survival rates
Retransplantation group showed similar kidney function and rejection rates compared to first transplants
3, 5, and 10-year graft survival rates were comparable between groups
Better graft survival associated with older recipient age and higher donor eGFR
Increased recipient age and deceased donors were risk factors for patient loss
