    Abstract Background: Twenty to 60% of newly created hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas do not mature adequately for use. One barrier to developing interventions to improve fistula outcomes is a lack of standardized criteria for maturation.
    Methods: Using data from the multicenter, prospective Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation (HFM) Study, we determined sensitivities, specificities, and positive and negative predictive values of multiple candidate maturation criteria using the HFM Study maturation criteria as the reference. We also compared, across the maturation criteria, relationships between maturation and fistula survival using Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: We included 535 of the 602 HFM Study participants. The median (interquartile range) age was 57 (47-65) years, 70% were men, and 45% were Black participants. Depending on the criterion and time frame for ascertainment (3, 4, 5, 6, or 9 months), sensitivities ranged from 57% to 100%, specificities ranged from 85% to 100%, positive predictive values ranged from 88% to 100%, and negative predictive values ranged from 65% to 100%. For all criteria, areas under the curve for the 6-month (0.90-0.97 for unassisted maturation and 0.89-0.95 for overall maturation) and 9-month time frames were similar. Attainment of unassisted maturation was associated with lower risks of fistula abandonment, with hazard ratios ranging from 0.10 to 0.40 depending on the criterion and time frame. Eliminating dialysis adequacy indicators, or simplifying the criteria in other ways, had little effect on performance characteristics.
    Conclusions: High performance characteristics are maintained with maturation criteria that are simpler and less burdensome to ascertain than the HFM Study outcome measure.

    Abstract Background: Historically, kidney transplantation has been considered inappropriate for most patients with AL amyloidosis-associated kidney failure because of concerns about recurrent disease in the allograft and poor long-term survival. With improvements in rates and durability of hematologic responses and survival that have accompanied treatment advances, a greater proportion of patients with AL amyloidosis may be suitable for kidney transplantation. However, there are no widely accepted criteria for kidney transplant eligibility for this patient population.
    Methods: We administered surveys electronically to transplant nephrologists and amyloidosis experts at a geographically diverse set of academic medical centers in the United States. Questions were designed to elucidate views about suitability and timing of kidney transplantation for patients with AL amyloidosis-associated kidney failure.
    Results: The survey was completed by 20 (65%) of invited amyloidosis experts and 20 (29%) of invited transplant physicians. Respondents indicated that, for patients with AL amyloidosis, most transplant nephrologists have limited experience with both determining eligibility for and providing care after kidney transplantation. Most transplant nephrologists and amyloidosis experts viewed anticipated patient survival as the most important determinant of suitability for kidney transplantation. Compared with transplant program respondents, amyloidosis program respondents reported a higher degree of confidence in determining suitability for kidney transplantation, were comfortable proceeding with kidney transplantation earlier after patients attained a hematologic response, and were less concerned about extrarenal amyloid involvement as a barrier to kidney transplantation. In both groups, most respondents indicated that there is a lack of consensus between amyloidosis and kidney transplant physicians about criteria for determining suitability for kidney transplantation.
    Conclusion: Views about criteria for kidney transplantation for patients with AL amyloidosis-associated kidney failure differed between amyloidosis and transplant nephrology program respondents, with amyloidosis specialists generally favoring a less-restrictive approach to transplant eligibility. The findings suggest a need for consensus building across specialties.
