Time to second kidney transplantation in young adults after failed pediatric kidney transplant

Under the current kidney allocation system, pediatric candidates listed prior to age 18 receive priority for high‐quality deceased donor organs. This has resulted in a decline in living donor transplantation in pediatrics, despite superior outcomes of living donor transplantation. Due to a young age at transplantation, most pediatric kidney transplant recipients require re‐transplantation. The effects of a previously failed deceased donor vs a previously failed living donor on re‐transplant candidates are unknown.
