Abstract
Background: There is limited data in the literature about pediatric kidney transplant (KT) following gut transplant (GT). The purpose of this study is to highlight the technical challenges and outcomes of KT in pediatric gut recipients who developed kidney failure (KF). Methods: A retrospective single‐center study of pediatric GT recipients from January 2000 to December 2019 was performed. In total, 14 (7%) out of 206 pediatric GT recipients developed KF and were listed for KT. Ten patients underwent kidney after gut transplant (KAGT), three patients underwent simultaneous kidney and re‐do gut transplant (SKAGT), and one patient died on the KT waitlist. Results: 1‐, 5‐, and 10‐year kidney graft survival was 100%, 91%, and 78%, respectively. 1‐, 5‐, and 10‐year GT graft survival was 100%, 77%, and 77%, respectively. 1‐, 5‐, and 10‐year patient survival was 100%, 91%, and 91%, respectively. Conclusion: Despite the technical complexity, KAGT and SKAGT for pediatric GT recipients that develop KF can be performed with favorable outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
