Core Tip |
This study investigates the relationship between pediatric obesity and kidney transplant outcomes, addressing a gap in research by analyzing graft survival across body mass index categories. While short-term outcomes for overweight and Class 1 obese pediatric recipients are comparable to healthy-weight peers, Class 2 and 3 obese patients experience significantly reduced long-term graft survival. Underweight recipients also exhibit poorer outcomes, highlighting the dual risks of obesity and malnutrition. The findings highlight the need for individualized transplant criteria and targeted interventions for severely obese children, emphasizing the role of socioeconomic and racial disparities in pediatric kidney transplantation. |
