    Abstract Excess end-stage kidney disease-related mortality rates have decreased substantially over time among adults recorded in the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry, with the largest relative decreases in the youngest adults and the largest absolute decreases in the oldest adults. While improvements were observed among patients of all ages being treated with dialysis, patients with kidney transplants showed no clear improvements, and those ≥65 years old showed a worrying increase in excess mortality over time.

    Abstract Pediatric kidney transplant recipients are distinguished from adult recipients by the need for many decades of graft function, the potential effect of CKD on neurodevelopment, and the changing immune environment of a developing human. The entire life of an individual who receives a transplant as a child is colored by their status as a transplant recipient. Not only must these young recipients negotiate all of the usual challenges of emerging adulthood (transition from school to work, romantic relationships, achieving independence from parents), but they must learn to manage a life-threatening medical condition independently. Regardless of the age at transplantation, graft failure rates are higher during adolescence and young adulthood than at any other age. All pediatric transplant recipients must pass through this high-risk period. Factors contributing to the high graft failure rates in this period include poor adherence to treatment, potentially exacerbated by the transfer of care from pediatric- to adult-oriented care providers, and perhaps an increased potency of the immune response. We describe the characteristics of pediatric kidney transplant recipients, particularly those factors that may influence their care throughout their lives. We also discuss the risks associated with the transition from pediatric- to adult-oriented care and provide some suggestions to optimize the transition to adult-oriented transplant care and long-term outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Referral for kidney transplant (KT) is variable, with women often disadvantaged. This study aimed to better characterize Canadian transplant referral practices and identify potential differences by respondent and/or patient gender using surveys targeted at healthcare practitioners (HCPs) involved in KT.
    Methods: Surveys consisting of 25 complex patient cases representing 7 themes were distributed to KT HCPs across Canada (March 3, 2022-April 27, 2022) using national nephrology/transplant society email registries. Respondents were asked whether they would refer the patient for transplant. Two identical surveys were created, differing only by gender/gender pronouns used in each case. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of respondent demographics and patient themes (including case gender) with the odds of transplant referral (overall and stratifying by respondent gender).
    Results: Overall, the referral rate was 58.0% among 97 survey respondents (46.4% male). Case themes associated with a lower likelihood of referral included adherence concerns (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45-0.94), medical complexity (aOR 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38-0.85), and perceived frailty (aOR 0.63; 95% CI, 0.47-0.84). Respondent gender was not associated with differences in KT referral (aOR 0.91; 95% CI, 0.65-1.26 for male versus female respondents) but modified the association of frailty (less referral for male than female respondents, P  = 0.005) and medical complexity (less referral for female than male respondents, P  = 0.009) with referral. There were no differences in referral rate by case gender ( P  = 0.82).
    Conclusions: KT referral practices vary among Canadian HCPs. In this study, there were no differences in likelihood of transplant referral by candidate gender.

    Abstract Survival of pediatric kidney transplant recipients has improved over the past six decades. However, adolescents and young adults still have the highest graft failure rates of any age group. There is a growing need for well-designed transition programs to ensure the successful integration of young adults into adult society with eventual transfer of care and management in adult transplant centers. In this review, we discuss the risk factors contributing to the high risk of kidney graft failure observed between 17 and 24 years of age, including the role of transfer from pediatric to adult care. We also address the unique challenges of adolescents with kidney transplant: the impact of chronic kidney disease on neurocognition, age-related changes in immune activity, and suboptimal adherence during the transition process. We then describe strategies to mitigate these risks by designing developmentally appropriate transition programs, and review the evidence supporting the benefits of well-designed multidisciplinary transition programs.
