Key result
Pre-transplant hemodialysis over 10 years shows no significant impact on 5-year post-transplant survival.
Why the study?
The clinical outcomes and complications of renal transplantation in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis for more than ten years were not well characterized.
Does renal transplantation in patients with ≥10 years of hemodialysis have comparable outcomes to those with <10 years of hemodialysis?
Cohort (n=778)
No
Does renal transplantation in patients with ≥10 years of hemodialysis have comparable outcomes to those with <10 years of hemodialysis?
Absolute Event Rate: 88.4% vs 91.8%
p-value: p=>0.05
Renal transplantation in patients with over 10 years of hemodialysis shows good long-term outcomes comparable to those with shorter dialysis duration, supporting the promotion of transplantation in this complex population.

Haruguchi et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease requiring renal transplantation (n=778). Hemodialysis for more than 10 years prior to transplantation vs. Hemodialysis for less than 10 years prior to transplantation was evaluated on 5-year patient survival rate (p=>0.05). Pre-transplant hemodialysis for more than 10 years did not significantly affect 5-year patient survival (88.4% vs 91.8%) or graft survival compared to less than 10 years of hemodialysis.
