Funded Activity Summary

Although kidney transplantation has been shown to improve life expectancy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), indigenous patients with CKD wait twice as long on the wait-list before transplant and have up to a 3-fold increased risk of rejection and infections resulting in graft loss and death respectively compared to non-indigenous patients. A better understanding of the immunological make-up of indigenous patients may help to reduce the risk of complications and improve survival.
