Urgency Priority in Kidney Transplantation: Experience in XXXX .

@entity1 @entity298 @entity233
BACKGROUND: In @entity233 , according to the directions of National Organ and Tissue Transplant Coordination System, a system has been established since 2008 of urgency priority for kidney transplantation in cases with imminent lack of access for either @entity298 . In this study, we compared @entity1 and graft outcomes between @entity1 on the national waiting list having urgency priority for kidney transplantation (UKT) and those having the other kidney from the same deceased donor (control group). METHODS: We examined retrospective data of @entity1 , who underwent transplantation under urgency priority allocation in @entity233 from 2010 to 2014 and compared that group with other @entity1 receiving kidney transplants from the same deceased donors (control group). Then we compared these @entity1 for early and long-term @entity1 and graft outcomes. RESULTS: Forty-seven @entity1 had UKT, and 40 @entity1 received transplants from the same deceased donors. Mean follow-up of @entity1 after transplantation was 18    12 months. Eight @entity1 with UKT and 4 @entity1 in the control group lost their grafts. At follow-up, 7 @entity1 died in the UKT group, and 4 @entity1 died in the control group. @entity1 survival in the UKT group was 90% at 1 year and 83% at 2 years, and in the control group was 93% at 1 year and 84% at 2 years (P  = .384). Graft survival was 87% at 1 year and 81% at 2 years in UKT, and 91% at both 1 and 2 years in the control group (P  = .260). CONCLUSIONS: Although @entity1 with UKT showed lower graft and @entity1 survivals than the control group, the difference was statistically nonsignificant. UKT can be an obligatory treatment model for @entity1 with lack of vascular or peritoneal access for dialysis.
