Purpose of Study
Primary Hypotheses:
- Among patients who retain the failed kidney transplant, those who continue immunosuppressant medication will have more deaths than patients who discontinue these drugs
- Among patients who retain the failed kidney transplant, those who continue immunosuppressant medication will have more hospitalizations for sepsis than patients who discontinue these drugs
- Among patients who retain the failed kidney transplant, those who continue immunosuppressant medication will have fewer rejection events than patients who discontinue these drugs
Secondary Hypotheses:
- Patients who undergo elective nephrectomy (to remove the failed kidney transplant) will have fewer deaths than those who retain the failed kidney transplant
- Patients who undergo elective nephrectomy (to remove the failed kidney transplant) will have fewer hospitalizations for sepsis than those who retain the failed kidney transplant
- Among patients who retain the failed kidney transplant, those who continue immunosuppressant medication will have lower levels of allosensitization (anti-HLA antibodies) than those who discontinue these drugs
- Patients who undergo elective nephrectomy will have higher levels of allosensitization (anti-HLA antibodies) than patients who retain the failed kidney transplant
