overview

Kidney transplantation is currently the gold standard of care and provides patients with end-stage kidney disease the best chance for long-term, dialysis-free survival, but in addition to challenges regarding organ availability is the challenge of optimizing allograft survival over time. Join our expert panel as they review the long-term challenges of graft survival in kidney transplant recipients and the importance of achieving better long-term outcomes.
