| Core Tip |
Patients with preemptive access to kidney transplantation (PAKT) may have significant differences from those with conventional access to kidney transplantation, warranting more evaluation and studying. In the current study, the known primary kidney disease was an independent factor of achievement of living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). In addition, the older age and female gender were independent predictors of non-achievement of LDKT. On the other hand, unavailability, regression, and exclusion of living donors and patient regression on starting dialysis may prevent the achievement of preemptive LDKT (PLDKT) in patients with PAKT. Despite its non-significant effect, PAKT may improve the low rates of PLDKT. The current literature review may refer to that PLDKT has comparable outcomes to the conventional LDKT. Hence, PLDKT is recommended as the first choice for each candidate patient. In Egypt, the rate of PLDKT is still lower than the reported rates from other countries, warranting implementation of effective strategies to promote PLDKT. |
