Association between estimated time with low glomerular filtration rate and access to transplant among youth with advanced chronic kidney disease

EKElaine KuTCTimothy P. CopelandCMCharles E. McCulloch

Key Points

  • To investigate the relationship between duration of low eGFR and access to transplantation among youth with chronic kidney disease.
  • Analysis of data on eGFR levels and transplant outcomes
  • Comparison of preemptive and living donor transplants
  • Focus on demographic factors, especially race
  • Longer exposure to low eGFR increases likelihood of transplant access
  • Black youth show a significant need for earlier transplant referrals
  • Greater odds of accessing both preemptive and living donor transplants with earlier intervention

Abstract

Longer time spent with low eGFR is associated with greater odds of preemptive and living donor transplantation. Earlier transplant referral for all children, especially Black youth, may help improve access to preemptive and living donor transplantation.
