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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A clinician describes a kidney transplant patient now 12 years post-transplant with gradually worsening kidney function. Her creatinine has risen to 6 mg/dL and her estimated GFR is about 15 mL/min. After an appropriate evaluation, the team concludes the graft dysfunction is irreversible. The patient, now in her 60s (previously 52), does not want to return to dialysis and is asking about the possibility of receiving another transplant and what options are available moving forward.
