Mismatched kidney transplants boost survival in seniors

NCT ID NCT07436338

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 1,819 elderly patients (aged 60+) with end-stage kidney disease to see if getting a living donor kidney transplant that is not a perfect match (ABO- or HLA-incompatible) helps them live longer compared to waiting for a compatible deceased donor. The approach uses desensitization therapy to reduce the risk of rejection. Results suggest that earlier transplantation with a mismatched kidney may improve survival for older patients.
