Transplantation Improves Patient Survival in a PD-first Program in South Africa

Abstract

Our study findings align with the challenges of providing dialysis and transplantation in a lower- to middle-income setting where patients were most often precluded from KRT because of poorly controlled comorbidities or a lack of unit capacity. There was a clear survival advantage in patients who were transplanted over those who remained on dialysis; however, transplant services remain limited.
