Kidney Week 2025 Early Program - Care of Kidney Transplant Candidates and Recipients-Continuation of the Case

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker opens the third afternoon conference block, outlining the schedule (four 15‑minute talks, then discussion, break, and four more talks). They present a transplant case: a woman who reached kidney transplant, had delayed graft function initially but recovered, with baseline creatinine 1.5–1.8 despite receiving a DCD kidney with KDPI 70%. Later, she experienced common post-transplant issues: weight gain and worsening diabetes (A1c rising from 6.5 to 8.2). At her one-year visit she expressed gratitude for the transplant but said the year was harder than expected. She then transitioned care to local providers for two years.
