Dual versus Single Kidney Transplantation in Contemporary U.S. Practice: A National Matched Cohort Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study compared people who received two kidneys in a transplant versus one. It looked at 140,707 transplants in the U.S. It found that getting two kidneys was linked to lower survival rates. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
