Simultaneous nephrectomy during kidney transplantation for polycystic kidney disease does not detrimentally impact comorbidity and graft survival

Figure 1 Selection flowchart of this retrospective study. ADPKD: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; KT: Kidney transplantation.

Figure 2 The graft and patient survival of 154 isolated kidney transplant recipients suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with or without associated ipsilateral nephrectomy during transplantation performed in a single center transplant program from January 2007 until January 2019. KT: Kidney transplantation.
