Year: 2019

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that kidney transplant recipients with a high body mass index (BMI) have an inferior graft and patient outcomes compared to patients with a lower BMI. We used data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to determine whether obesity affects patient and graft outcomes following kidney transplantation in the modern immunosuppressive era.
