Renal Transplant Outcomes in Waitlist Candidates with a Previous Inactive Status Due to Being Temporarily Too Sick.

CONCLUSION: Recipients with a history of reason 7 have lower patient and graft survival when compared to the active group. Nonetheless, the margins of difference are minimal. Candidates with a history of reason 7 should not be discouraged from transplantation once they return to active status. Standardized criteria for placing candidates on inactive status should be developed to reduce disparities among transplant centers. PMID: 26281135 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
