Abstract
Patients who receive second cadaver transplants continued to pose unique challenges as they are considered to be immunized by their previous grafts. However, the success rates for renal retransplantation have significantly improved in recent years as a result of improved pretransplant screening and posttransplant management, including sensitive crossmatching, better HLA matching, and more potent immunosuppressive agents [1–3]. The present study is an updated report on second cadaver donor transplants in the United States.
