WCN25-3943 TO EVALUATE THE CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN ABO INCOMPATIBLE RENAL TRANSPLANT : A SINGLE CENTRE PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY FROM WESTERN INDIA

Kidney transplantation provides a considerable survival advantage compared to hemodialysis in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Thus, the organ demand is continuously growing while a considerable gap exists between organ availability and waiting listed patients, although the pool of deceased donors has been successfully expanded with donation after circulatory death or kidneys from extended criteria donors. Kidney transplant from living donor offers a superior survival of both patient and graft than transplant from deceased donation and is the most effective way to expand the donor pool.
