Description
Daniele Vetrano and co-authors report a 2026 study of kidney transplant patients aged sixty-five and older. Older adults now make up a growing share of transplant patients, yet many face a rough first stay in hospital. The team looked for traits known before surgery that predict a hard early course. They tracked ninety-three patients at one center.
Sixty-one patients had a hard early course, meaning a long stay, infection, slow graft start, graft failure, or death in hospital. More years on dialysis and a donor with high blood pressure raised the odds. Getting a transplant before dialysis, or from a living donor, lowered them. Later outcomes did not differ clearly between groups once kidney function at discharge was counted. The authors urge less time on dialysis and careful donor choice.
