Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The role of timing of transplant nephrectomy after renal transplantation has not been well defined. This report compares the morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization costs of 37 patients undergoing transplant nephrectomy within 14 days after graft failure and return to dialysis, with 31 patients undergoing delayed transplant nephrectomy (less than 14 days after graft failure and return to dialysis). This analysis revealed that there were no significant (P greater than .05) differences in patient morbidity and mortality between these groups. There was, however, a substantial increase (P less than .05) in the cost of hospitalization in the delayed nephrectomy group. For this reason, we recommend early nephrectomy after renal transplant failure in order to minimize the cost of health care for these patients undergoing failed cadaver donor transplant nephrectomy. |
