Perioperative Comparison of Preemptive and Non-Preemptive Renal Transplant Recipients.

Objective: Preemptive transplantation cannot be performed for all patients because of the limited number of donors. This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative effects of dialysis before renal transplantation.

Methods: In this study, we retrospectively investigated 666 patients who underwent kidney transplantation at our centre.
