Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have received a kidney transplant from any donor.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not undergone kidney transplantation or are under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to analyze the long-term kidney transplant function outcomes based on the type of donor, either living or deceased. It involves the systematic collection of clinical data from kidney transplant recipients treated at a single center, starting from January 1, 2017, and continuing for nine years. Participants will be treated according to standard clinical practices without any additional study-specific interventions. The study will gather information during the patients' routine care to assess the impact of donor type on transplant success.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into optimizing kidney transplant outcomes based on donor type.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored donor type impacts on transplant outcomes, suggesting that this approach has been previously validated.
