Impact of transplant nephrectomy on peak PRA levels and outcome after kidney re-transplantation

Figure 1 Levels of panel reactive antibodies before the first transplantation, peak panel reactive antibodies between first and second transplantation and before second transplantation in the groups NE+ (black) and NE- (grey).

Figure 2 Kidney graft survival of a second renal allograft in patients with (black) or without (grey) prior nephrectomy of a first non-functioning kidney graft, censored for “death with functioning graft”.

Figure 3 Patient and graft survival, censored for graft loss within 1 year, in second kidney transplants with prior nephrectomy of a non-functioning first kidney graft (black: group NE+) compared to controls without nephrectomy (grey: NE-).

Figure 4 Graft survival of a second renal allograft in patients without (A) or with (B) prior nephrectomy of a first non-functioning kidney graft and retransplantation within (black curve) or later than one year after nephrectomy (grey curve).
