WCN25-520 International survey of nephrologists about referral of patient with advanced chronic kidney disease for kidney transplantation
Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the treatment of choice for patients (pts) with kidney failure and could be lifesaving in countries with limited access to dialysis. The referral rate in high-income countries (HIC) is 17-33% pre-emptively, or within 1-yr of the initiation of chronic dialysis, while data is lacking in low-income countries (LIC). We aimed to explore and compare barriers and patterns of referral of pts with kidney failure for KTx in lower vs higher-income countries.
