ASSOCIATION OF PRE-TRANSPLANT DIALYSIS MODALITY AND POST-TRANSPLANT OUTCOMES: A META-ANALYSIS

摘要

Background: It remains unclear whether post-transplant outcomes differ according to the pre-transplant dialysis modality (peritoneal dialysis [PD] versus hemodialysis [HD]). We performed a meta-analysis of studies that assessed either post-transplant mortality, graft survival, or delayed graft function (DGF) in both PD and HD patients.
