Abstract

Taken together, long-term outcome of ABOi KTx is not inferior to ABOc KTx. Incidences of rejection episodes, infectious complications and malignancies are not increased, despite the more vigorous immunosuppression in ABOi KTx. Our data provide further evidence that ABOi KTx with living donation is a safe, successful and reasonable option to reduce the organ shortage.
