Risk Factors for Graft Dysfunction in the Late Period of Renal Transplantation
Transplantation Proceedings, 06/26/09

Mattoso R et al. - Risk factors traditionally associated with kidney graft dysfunction after transplantation are delayed graft function, acute cellular rejection episodes, deceased donor organ source (particularly more than 50 years old), and HLA mismatch. Socioeconomic factors, such as income, education, and type of health insurance, have been reported in some studies. Upon multivariate logistic regression analysis delayed graft function and severe bacterial infection were predictors; there was no association with socioeconomic factor.
