Excess mortality after kidney transplantation: does sex matter?

KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL (2023)

A multinational cohort study uncovered sex differences in excess mortality after kidney transplant

Amanda J. Vinson et al.

Summary: Worldwide, males have a higher mortality risk than females, but this study explores if the same mortality bias exists in kidney transplant recipients. The study finds that female recipients have higher excess mortality risks compared to male recipients, especially at younger ages, when the donor is male. These findings suggest the need for modified management to improve transplant outcomes for female recipients.
